Nikki Blackheart has commented on meeting WWE legend John Cena during Bayley’s recent Lodestone training camp.
In late 2025, Bayley ran the first edition of her self-created Lodestone women’s-exclusive training and seminar camp in Orlando, Florida.
Among the names to take part in the camp was Nikki Blackeart, a noted hot prospect from the indies who has gone on to take part in the WWE tryouts this past week.
In a new video released on the Lodestone YouTube channel, which was taped during the camp as it was happening. Blackheart commented on how grateful she was to be part of it and her surprise when John Cena entered the room.
She said:
“I bawled my eyes out this morning because I’m so grateful. I was like, ‘You know what, shake it off, I’m good.’
“Show up here, and then THE John Cena walks in. A week before his retirement.
“I’m like, ‘What is my life?’ I don’t know. But I’ve gotta go and talk to him now.”
