1. The Proposal

"But I can remember right before you were ready to go into surgery I told you there'd be a time when you'd be a little bit loopy and I could ask you anything I wanted. And you would give me an honest answer and you wouldn't remember what we talked about.

"And for a year and-a-half not a week went by where you'd ask me continuously well 'what happened?' 'what happened?' And I promised I would tell you when the time was right. The time is right.

"Right as they were wheeling you into the OR you were glassy, in and out, and at my last chance, at the very last second I said "stop." And I leaned in and I whispered "can you hear me?" And you said "yes" and I said "well, I only have one question," and you said "what is it?" I said "do you know one day I'm going to marry you." And you said "yes." I just need you to say yes one more time.

"I have been waiting so long to ask you this. Stephanie Nicole Garcia-Colace, will you marry me?"

I know the pair's relationship has played a huge part in Total Divas and will do the same in Total Bellas, but the fact remains Cena and Bella kept it off WWE programming for as long as they could. The proposal is in-line with the scripted shenanigans that take place in the staged world of reality television but remains arguably the most real thing we've seen in the Kayfabe-ridden world of WWE for some time.

And at the end of the day, he used her shoot name for crying out loud! If that's not kayfabe breaking I don't know what is!
