The WWE stars called off their engagement on Sunday, saying in a joint statement that it was a “difficult” decision.
"While this decision was a difficult one, we continue to have a great deal of love and respect for one another," the couple said via Instagram. "We ask that you respect our privacy during this time in our lives."

JOHN CENA MADE NIKKI BELLA SIGN A 75-PAGE CONTRACT BEFORE SHE MOVED IN WITH HIM
Fans also pointed to several incidents when the former couple clashed. Cena had made Bella sign a 75-page contract before she moved into his house. Cena likened it to a prenuptial agreement and said it was done to protect his finances.
