Nikki Bella draws comparison between Bayley and John Cena

On a recent edition of the Nikki and Brie Show, Nikki Bella noted that Bayley had a strong presence similar to John Cena. She said that the Role Model was a big influence on the stars. Nikki added that whenever the seven-time WWE champion was not seen during TV tapings, people used to ask about her.

"Last Monday, media was like where’s Bayley? Where’s Pam? Like you almost remind me of John. I remember, back in the day, even before John and I were together, but when John would go off and film The Marine or if there was a movie, everyone would say like, "Wow, you miss his presence.' It’s like John has such a strong presence when he walks down the hall, when he’s by the ring, when he’s watching everyone’s matches. So, you would miss his presence when he’s gone, it would be recognizable. You’d be like, "Wait, where is he?" But you're the same way."
