AceShowbiz - John Cena and Nikki Bella are officially engaged at Sunday's (April 2) WrestleMania 33 in Orlando. After beating The Miz and Maryse in an action-packed match, Cena asked Bella to come to the center of the ring and kneeled down before her. He then pulled out a ring and asked her to marry him right in front of 70.000 fans.

"I have been waiting so long to ask you this," Cena said. "Stephanie Nicole Garcia-Colace, will you marry me?"
Bella, with a shocked but overjoyed expression, gave him a nod before reaching down to kiss and hug him. Cena proceeded to put the ring on her finger, and the two shared happy tears along with the cheers from the audience.
Cena filed for divorce from his first wife back in 2012. Since then, Rolling Stone reported that the wrestle decided not to marry Bella nor have children, saying that he didn't want any of it. Cena believed that just because people around him were married and had families, it didn't mean that he had to live that way. However, the magical proposal that happened on Sunday totally made the previous statement cease to exist.
Happy tears!!!! They always felt married to me but to see it...wow!!! Welcome to the family @JohnCena

"Happy tears!!!! They always felt married to me but to see it. . . wow!!! Welcome to the family @John Cena!" she tweeted.
This is why I love @WWE
