Before Nikki Bella could move into John Cena’s Tampa mansion, the WWE star had one condition: she had to sign a 75-page cohabitation agreement.

The document, which became a talking point on the reality show Total Bellas, outlined strict terms for their relationship, including a clause that described Nikki as a “guest” in Cena’s home. If the couple broke up, she was expected to vacate the property immediately.

"I was just so confused," Nikki said on Total Bellas. "It kind of makes me feel like I'm not welcome."

What the Contract Said

The contract reportedly stated that Nikki Bella would be considered a guest in Cena’s home. If the couple broke up, she would have to leave the property immediately.

The agreement was signed before Nikki moved in, despite her initial discomfort. It was later discussed openly on their reality show.

“It wasn’t a way to say, ‘You must sign this or else,’” he told Rolling Stone. “It was me protecting myself.’”

Public Reactions

Fans were divided. Some saw the move as overly controlling, while others viewed it as smart planning, especially for a high-profile celebrity with substantial assets.
