John Cena and Nikki Bella Talk WrestleMania Proposal
She said yes! John Cena and Nikki Bella stopped by the Today show on Monday, April 3, just hours after he got down on bended knee during WrestleMania 33 and proposed to his longtime love. Watch the sweet proposal and a clip from Today in the video above!
The WWE star, 39, told Today cohost Al Roker that he had been planning to pop the question to his fellow pro wrestler, 33, for a long time. In fact, he joked that he was waiting for her to make the move.
"She's been by my side through a lot of surgeries, and I make a joke 'cause I know when they put you under anesthesia, you got, like, 20 minutes where you're out of it but you can talk and you don't remember what's going on," Cena said. "So, I always ask her. I'm like, 'You know they're going to put me under. Ask me whatever you want and you're going to get the answer.'"
A year and a half
before the real proposal, Bella (born Stephanie Nicole Garcia-Colace)
had to undergo a procedure on her neck, and Cena decided to tell her
that he wanted to tie the knot. "I made sure to be the last one to wheel
her into the OR. Right at the moment of no return, I stopped the
doctors, I leaned down and I asked if [she] could hear me," he
explained. "She said, 'Yes.' I said, 'Well, I have one question for
you.' She said, 'What?' I said, 'So, you know someday I'm going to marry
you?' And she said, 'Yes.'"
