10 Grand Moments We Need To See At WrestleMania 33

6. A Different Kind Of Ring

Speaking of disappointment, there was near-universal disinterest when rumors began to circulate that John Cena's WrestleMania match wouldn't be a long-awaited one-on-one bout with The Undertaker, but would see him tag with real-life girlfriend Nikki Bella against The Miz and his wife, Maryse. Sure enough, those rumors proved to be true and the midcard bout is official.

The Miz has been absolutely phenomenal for the past year, while Cena - despite a reduced schedule - has had some of the best bouts of his career since his last WrestleMania match. Unfortunately, Nikki Bella is hit or miss, and Maryse really isn't a competent wrestler at all. The potential for entertainment is there, but not for a truly classic match.

However, all that can be salvaged if the post-match angle delivers. Since the bout was announced, there's been a ton of speculation that Cena might propose to Bella after the contest, and given Cena's famously anti-marriage stance (as depicted on Total Divas), that would be major news. It would also be a pretty heartwarming moment for anyone who's followed the couple for so long.
