Becky Lynch recently won Summer Slam 2025 and made a surprise return on a recent episode of WWE. She deliberately mentioned John Cena, knowing Nikki Bella’s past connection with him. This has raised questions about whether former Diva Champion Nikki Bella gave permission for her personal life to be used as promotional material in the WWE Universe.

Lynch’s entry wasn’t expected—it felt more like she was boasting about her

Summer Slam 2025 win. Her cameo was initially well-received by the audience, until she began criticizing Nikki and dragged Cena into the conversation as well. Her comment, “You cannot see me,” escalated the tension and left fans wondering whether Nikki had approved the use of her past relationship on air.

Such content isn’t new for WWE. Time and again, wrestlers’ personal lives have been brought into the ring to grab attention—often leaving the audience confused about whether the featured wrestler had consented to the exposure.

It is assumed that Nikki may have given permission for this storyline, much like Liv Morgan did when her divorce was referenced during a rivalry. Using personal stories to add drama and boost viewership is a common WWE strategy. A recent promotional video even spotlighted the past relationship between John Cena and Nikki Bella—a chapter deeply significant to Nikki and central to her public persona.

As the situation continues to unfold, the wrestling community remains divided over the ethics of using private relationships for entertainment. These ongoing discussions may influence how WWE handles such sensitive issues in future storylines.
