She started telling the story by saying, “Actually, I ran into him because I went to pay the bill and they were like, ‘John Cena already took care of it’. I was like what? Where is he? He is a big guy. Because I couldn’t see him. He’s hard to hide and then I found him and I was like, ‘What are you doing here?’”
