Nikki Bella Explains Why She Thanked John Cena In WWE Hall Of Fame Speech

Fans were somewhat surprised when Nikki Bella thanked her ex fiancé in her WWE Hall of Fame speech in April, and the former Divas Champion has explained why.

Speaking to Entertainment Tonight, Nikki Bella explained that John Cena helped her in her career, which is why she decided to thank him:

I didn’t think anything about it because when you’re in those moments at the Hall of Fame, you really look at your career and you’re like, ‘Who was there, who helped me along the way?’ So much of the time people will talk about themselves, and for me, I look at my career and I know that wasn’t just because of me. It was Brie [Bella], it was the Bella army, it was the producers, all the people that believed in me, and John was a big part of that. He really helped me be that fearless side and showed me a part of that world that I never saw before. I think just because you have breakups or whatever it may be, doesn’t mean you can’t thank those people and just truly be so grateful for the help that they had,”
