Why The AJ/John Cena Storyline Was Given a Rest on Raw

– WWE’s AJ Lee/John Cena storyline was eased off on Raw because of the pictures posted to TMZ of Cena accompanying Nikki Bella to her high school reunion at the end of last week. It was felt that doing the Cena storyline just three days after the pics got major publicity online would have thrown it “in the face of the fans” and WWE wanted to promote a positive vibe around him based on the publicity he got. They will be continuing the storyline later this month.

Cena is in fact dating Nikki and has reportedly been involved with her “for a little while.”
