After Cena didn’t say who his POA was, Nikki Bella stated, “Well, good. I am happy it’s not me. I want to be number 2.” However, Cena said she wasn’t even on the list and there was no need to take offense, but Bella took exception to that. She said, “Thanks, I take it as being offensive.”

Bella further said that this hurt her feelings, and she still feels like a ‘girlfriend’ when they were thinking of getting married.

Bella continued, “It just continues to make me feel like a girlfriend than anything else. These are like the big decisions in your life and I am not even number 2.” Indeed, Cena’s decision not to reveal the identity of his power of attorney didn’t sit well with Nikki Bella. She thought as a couple, they should be able to have such information about each other.
