Ah, a wedding proposal. Is there anything more positively sports-entertaining? Well, okay, several things, but the point is: it's the exact kind of soap opera cheese Vince McMahon loves to have at WrestleMania, and last year, John Cena and Nikki Bella pulled it off to a tee.

In what was probably the best-built match on this entire list, the story going in was that Miz and Maryse had been harassing John and Nikki for weeks, accusing them of being a sham couple who hold people down. In a series of hilarious vignettes, the heels spoofed John and Nikki's dynamic on Total Bellas:

Of course, for all the work Miz and Maryse put into making people invested in the match, they got very little offense in on the actual show, and John and Nikki quickly dispatched of them with AAs in stereo. Afterward came the material filmed for Total Bellas, with John getting on one knee and proposing to his gal pal. Sweet romance!

While somewhat a waste of four talented individuals, this was easily the least degrading mixed match in WrestleMania history. Can the McMahon-Helmsleys, Kurt Angle, and Ronda Rousey top it? We shall see.
