The Real Reason Nikki Bella And John Cena Broke Up

Publish date: 2024-04-09

In a September 2017 episode of Total Divas, John Cena and Nikki Bella argued over who'd have power of attorney to potentially pull the plug on the other if that decision ever needed to be made.

In a clip obtained by People, Bella tells Cena he is her choice, explaining, "I like the decisions you make and I know you'll get it done ... If anything ever happened to me where I had to be put on life support, please unplug me."

Cena replies, "Life is a very crazy thing ... You say that now, but you don't know."

Bella snaps, "No, I do know. I'm telling you — I don't want to be a vegetable ... If the doctor comes in and I have this incredible chance, maybe keep me there for like, a week."

In that moment, Cena admits he doesn't want that responsibility, and when she asks who he'd pick as power of attorney for himself, he says that's "confidential information ... You're not even on the list. I wouldn't take that as being offensive. I just told you I don't want the burden of making that decision for you, so I used the same thought process in making [my] decision."

Bella, visibly upset, replies, "I would hate to be pushed out and to have no decision about your life, especially when you're my man."

"I'm just not going to leave it up to you," he says. "I'm sorry your feelings are hurt, it's not my intention."
