John Cena Once Made an Open Plea to Kim Kardashian’s Fans to Bump Up His Ex-Girlfriend’s Reality Show

John Cena has a large fanbase around the world. The Hollywood actor enjoys immense popularity going back to his WWE days. Despite having a large enough fandom, the Leader of the Cenation once called upon the fans of another prominent celebrity, Kim Kardashian, to bump up views for a reality show involving his ex-girlfriend.

John Cena dated fellow WWE superstar Nikki Bella while the two were part of the company. The duo even got engaged in 2017. However, they went their separate ways just a year later.

During their relationship, the couple also appeared on WWE’s reality show ‘Total Divas’, which centered on the lives of various WWE superstars in relationships with other people.

John Cena sent a plea to Kim Kardashian fans for the reality show

In 2013, John Cena joined Nikki Bella as part of the cast for the reality show ‘Total Divas’. They had been dating for a year and it made sense for the WWE to get them both on the show.

Cena and the former WWE Divas Champion’s relationship was publicized through ‘Total Divas’ and another reality show, Total Bellas. However, in Total Divas, much of their early real-life relationship played out. The idea was that Cena’s popularity could help the show rake up the ratings.

Cena had a massive fan following and WWE wanted to capitalize. In an attempt to boost the viewership for the show, the 16-time WWE Champion tweeted out a plea to the fans of celebrity Kim Kardashian and his sister Khloe Kardashian.

Cena asked the fans of the famous Kardashian sisters to not change the channel as the show Total Divas featuring him and his then-girlfriend Nikki Bella was up next.

‘The Franchise Player,’ tweeted, “Hey @KimKardashian @KhloeKardashian fans don’t change that channel! #totaldivas is on next on E!”

Clearly, Cena was hilariously trying to get as many eyeballs as possible for a reality show starring him. Seeking the support of the fanbase of a major celebrity is not a bad way to go about it.

Cena made a few appearances over the years on the show alongside Nikki Bella. The two also gave fans a memorable moment at WrestleMania 33, when Cena proposed to one-half of the Bella Twins, which she accepted. Sadly for their fans, the couple split up a year later.
