10 Things WWE Wants You To Forget About Carmella

3. The John Cena Rumours

So does this rather newsworthy rumour.

Carmella's only response to talk she'd been dating John Cena post-Nikki Bella was a quick post on Instagram that said, "I wonder how many calories y'all burn by jumping to conclusions". Witty, but still the media couldn't resist speculating on a little bit of juicy goss. For a short period last year, this was everywhere.

Some places finally put the rumours to bed by posting stories claiming they'd been had and that there was nothing to the story. That, it seemed, was that, but social media had a field day discussing whether or not both stars had been seeing one another behind the scenes after all for months afterwards.

This was another cringe for WWE bosses. Cena's relationship with Bella had been so high profile and accepted within company circles that any reports of a third party muscling in on Nikki's turf were always going to be met with gasps.
