5 Reasons Why The Bella Twins' Feud Is Actually Best For Business
3. John Cena Could Get Involved
If Nikki Bella's longtime boyfriend John Cena loses again to Brock Lesnar at Night of Champions, it's not out of the realm of possibilities to see Bella burying Cena on Raw to increase her heel heat. Just as Daniel Bryan has been closely linked to his wife Brie, a potentially grievously injured (in storyline, at the hands of Lesnar) Cena being involved with Nikki's evolving heel persona would truly give the feud another level of intrigue. Cena putting on the tough face to deal with Nikki, but being shot down for being a loser could be the one thing that makes the WWE Universe cheer Cena, as compared to Nikki Bella, the crowd may hate Cena less. The eventuality of heel Nikki either siding back with Cena or having a perpetual uneasy tension with him (a real-life take on the comedy of heel Stone Cold Steve Austin and babyface Debra McMichael) could present a fun option too, every red-blooded man in the crowd knowing on some level what it feels like to date someone that deep down, you love, but oftentimes you just can't deal with some of their habits.
