How Liv Morgan’s WWE Promo Shot at Nikki Bella Could Spark Backstage Tension With John Cena

Published:

During a recent WWE RAW segment on June 9, Liv Morgan‘s sharp promo against Nikki Bella has raised questions about backstage reactions, particularly from John Cena. The intensity of Morgan’s comments, which referenced Nikki Bella’s personal life, is at the center of ongoing speculation about how Liv Morgan’s WWE promo could anger John Cena.

Liv Morgan, recognized for her bold approach in WWE’s promotional confrontations, confronted Nikki Bella face-to-face when Bella returned to a more active role with the company. Morgan has positioned herself as the leading figure in the women’s division and did not hesitate to throw personal jabs during their exchange. Notably, Morgan remarked that she had a man in her life while implying Nikki did not—a clear reference to Nikki Bella’s divorce and previously public relationship with John Cena. Their breakup, after more than five years as a couple and a canceled wedding in 2018, remains a talked-about event within the wrestling world.

The potential consequences of referencing Nikki’s personal history, especially with John Cena present in the arena that night, were highlighted by veteran wrestling journalist Bill Apter. On an episode of The Wrestling Time Machine, hosted by Mac Davis, Apter commented:

“Did you get that line that Liv Morgan threw, you know, Nikki was with John Cena forever, for years and years. And of course they broke up, Nikki’s through marriage and divorced. Liv Morgan said, and also, I have a man, and you don’t. And John Cena was in the arena the same night. Man, I wonder how that went over backstage.”

His reflection suggests that Morgan’s remarks could have caused discomfort behind the scenes, potentially affecting how John Cena and others responded to the segment. Such moments have a history of creating unexpected tension or drama backstage, especially when they reference deeply personal matters in such a public forum.

Speculation Grows About Brie Bella Joining the Storyline

Bill Apter further speculated that Nikki Bella’s WWE storyline might soon involve her sister, Brie Bella. Referring to ongoing developments, Apter implied that Nikki’s return may be connected to projects outside of wrestling, with the possibility of a Bella Twins reunion in WWE on the horizon. On the same podcast episode, he stated:

“I think there is something going on where you know they are bringing her on from the reality world. I think there is gonna be a tie in somewhere with something else that she is doing besides just coming back in to come back in. I think we will see her sister back there, Brie Bella as well. And it’s also gonna be the situation where it heated up the angle well… Liv Morgan saying it’s me, I am the greatest girl in the whole world, you know the whole thing they did.”

With Liv Morgan currently sidelined due to injury, Nikki Bella’s next moves in WWE remain uncertain. Fans and insiders alike are watching to see whether the expected reunion with Brie Bella takes place and how the fallout from the June 9 promo affects ongoing narratives within WWE. The interactions between Liv Morgan, Nikki Bella, and the potential implications for John Cena highlight the complex and often unpredictable nature of WWE storylines, where personal and professional histories intersect in the spotlight.
