I tapped out of the neverending drama between John Cena and Nikki Bella weeks ago. I felt then, and I still feel, that a large chunk of this drama was just standard-issue reality show crap. As in, they were just doing everything so publicly so that people would tune into Total Bellas on E!. Granted, part of it was real. Nikki Bella and John Cena had real problems, and they really canceled their first wedding because of those problems. Cena didn’t want kids, but after Nikki dumped him, he told her that they could have kids. Plus, Cena is super-concerned about his career and having things just so (he’s OCD). Well, Nikki and John did reconcile and, unknownst to me, they went ahead and scheduled a second wedding (the first was the one they canceled). Except now Nikki has canceled the second wedding too?
On Sunday’s Total Bellas season finale, WWE star Nikki Bella breaks off her engagement to John Cena for the second time — about a month before their wedding date. Five weeks before they’re set to exchange vows, Cena, 41, can’t make their final appointment at the Napa venue, so Nikki’s twin sister Brie comes instead.
“John should be here, not me,” Brie says. “Your wedding is around the corner.”
Then, they all head to New Orleans for Wrestmania — where the Blockers actor had proposed on-stage. The episode focuses on Brie’s husband Daniel Bryan’s triumphant return to wrestling, but Nikki, 34, later admits she felt “miserable” at the annual event and “tried to force” looking happy with her man. She interrupts Bryan and Brie’s dinner date for their fourth wedding anniversary with a phone call relaying the sad but not entirely shocking news: “We might be calling off the wedding again.”
“I mean, there’s no harm in postponing it,” Bryan offers.
“I think John doesn’t see it that way,” Brie says.
She’s right: Nikki flies to San Diego alone and tells the couple in person that Cena has given her one day to decide what to do. The threat of a timeline frustrates her even further. She’s also upset by his tweets obliquely referencing their breakup. “It’s tough ’cause he’s like fighting really hard for me. … The tables have kind of turned,” she explains. “I didn’t give myself long enough the first time we broke up because I got so excited he wanted kids.”
People Mag goes on to summarize the rest of the episode, but suffice to say… Nikki and John broke up. Again. And called off their engagement. Again. And canceled their wedding. Again. A few weeks ago, Nikki did say that she and John are “just friends,” but as I said, I didn’t realize that they actually scheduled a second wedding and canceled it. So there you go. I mean, I honestly don’t care *that* much, but I’ve actually come around to the point where I feel sorry for Nikki a little bit – she really tried to make this work. So did John, to a lesser degree. But honestly, they didn’t belong together. At all. Also: John didn’t *want* kids, he was just willing to promise that they could have kids. There’s a difference.

Am I the only one who thinks John Cena seems extremely emotionally manipulative? I haven’t seen much of their show, but in what I have seen he appears to be very condescending and controlling. She’s better off without him.
And all so conveniently caught for the cameras!
Ugh these two and their wedding drama is borung.
Year 2028: Nikki and John broke up and canceled their wedding for the 28th time.
Jesus, this obviously isn’t meant to be. Move on girl!
Amen!
Not sure why it’s so crucial for certain people to need to marry. I see people together for years and once they get married, wham, they break up minutes later.
It’s just not for everybody.
I was never a Cena fan anyway but having caught a few episodes of total bellas made me realise the guy is a total nutjob. And I just think it’s weird he’s all about kids for the camera but doesn’t want any of his own? That just gives off a weird vibe to me.
People can enjoy kids and not want any of their own, there’s nothing weird about that. If anything it shows he’s more compassionate than most because he gives without having any personal stake in it. The rest of his personality may be off but let’s just let the guy do good without calling him weird for it.
I agree with @Ange. I don’t want kids at all, but I still like spending time with my nieces and nephews as well as my friends’ kids. And I enjoy working with them at camps and stuff. I used to work on a touring production of a popular kids show and I was herding children and I loved it. I just don’t want the responsibility of my own. Now, that said, I know nothing about John Cena as a person so he could be garbage or not.
As an OCD sufferer, I can attest his behaviour is not that of typical ocd. It’s that of a self absorbed control freak.
I wish people would realize that ocd is a serious mental illness that does not constitute being in control all the time. So much more than that. Maybe do some research.
I constantly worry I’ve said or done something wrong to someone and obsess over it internally ( the compulsions are in my head). It’s awful. There’s all many other things I worry about which I won’t get into. But I do compulsions such as writing thoughts on post it’s ( go through a whole pack because I need to start over because something “doesn’t feel right”).
Anyways, I’m doing well, it’s something i have got under control but it’s bad right now because I have pms.
