Nikki Bella would then address Cejudo’s comments directly with a post on Twitter, as seen below:
“What up Henry? So, I just saw your interview on Ariel’s podcast, and I’m – well – thank you very much,” Nikki said. “First of all, congrats on your really big win. I would like to think that maybe possibly I was a good luck charm – meeting you on the flight. I’m hoping maybe one day in Arizona you can train me before I get back into the ring because I think you have a few moves you can show me that I can really take it to the women. And, hey, I know you’re cutting weight and all but maybe one day we could grab a drink or I should send you a bottle of Belle Radici wine for your victory. So, I’ll do that and again, congrats on your big victory. That was amazing.”
So my streak of good luck continues thanks to the @BellaTwins … Nikki there are no more restrictions on my diet , let the wine flow , the moves fly , & our championship belts Unify … do you smell what The Messenger is cooking . ?????? @ufc @espnmma @BellaTwins @WWE pic.twitter.com/jzArQsXrlK

WWE Champion “The New” Daniel Bryan had his own opinion on the situation, telling an ABC15 Sports Reporter that he doesn’t approve of Cejudo’s request, as seen below:
“There’s a lot of people that want to think that they’re the best – lots of them,” Bryan began. “But guess what? Not a single one of those people are Daniel Bryan. There’s a lot of people that go around and they hold championship titles and they think they’re so tough, and they think that they’re this, and they think that they’re that. None of them are Daniel Bryan. Henry Cejudo, a valley resident who just defended his UFC Championship last Saturday, wants to go out on a date with my sister-in-law. Guess what? Henry Cejudo, you’re not the man that Daniel Bryan is. You fight Daniel Bryan, you go down every time.”
Earlier this week, UFC flyweight champion and AZ resident @HenryCejudo made it known he would like to go on a date with Nikki Bella.

Cejudo would then address Bryan’s comment, tweeting in response, “Daniel Bryan there’s enough room in The Valley for a King and a Prince. As Prince, you should know your role & make sure you pour my Bella Radici wine to the rim. P.S. Don’t get too attached to that WWE belt, I am on a bit of a roll myself.”
Bryan will be defending The WWE Title against AJ Styles at tonight’s Royal Rumble in Phoenix, Arizona.
