18 Ups & 12 Downs From The WWE SmackDown Live Era
11. Total Bella Bullsh*t
Side-splitting patter from future reality stars The Miz and Maryse to the then-darlings of Total Divas/Bellas, the 'A-List' couple skewered John Cena and Nikki Bella's relationship with such incredible accuracy that it's a wonder the pair didn't split up sooner.
Portraying Cena as an automaton and Bella as his goofy hanger-on, the pair turned the volume way way up on the E! Network caricatures the babyfaces portrayed in the alternate universe.
Loaded with great visual gags, believable pacing and a sinister side that serviced an eventual WrestleMania match, Miz and Maryse did all the heavy lifting for a feud they were destined to lose. The entire story was there to service Cena's 'Show Of Shows' proposal, with the segments relegated to nostalgic whispers in the wake of the duo's real life split a year later.
