Kayfabe Conspiracy: Is Nikki Bella Sister Abigail...?

Recently, John Cena experienced an injury during an attack by the Wyatt Family.  The commentators positioned that Cena's knee was hyperextended, later a photo was shared that seemed to show Cena's knee cap being completely dislocated, apparently validating the knee injury.  However, Cena would later go on to claim it was a groin injury.

For those that don't remember the song, the knee bone is NOT connected to the groin muscle.  At least, not unless you're African American.  But I digress.

A groin injury can happen a number of ways: muscle gets pulled inappropriately, strain during workouts, etc.  But we don't know it's a valid injury; let's go with it for now.  So assuming it's a groin pull, sex is yet another way it can happen.  Given the feud with the Wyatts, is it possible...remotely...that the writers might end up positioning Nikki as Sister Abigail?




Let's look at the evidence trail here, and highlight points.  Then you can judge for yourself.

5/4/2012: "I am brainwashing you all right now"

Bray cuts a promo in FCW.  In the promo he makes some choice words.  

"I don't need no internet machine to connect to my people. Your facebooks and your twitter it's all useless to me, man. 
Brainwashing? Well you got me on that one. I am brainwashing you all right now. I'm washing your brains off the filth in the tv, the media, the sports in your mind since the day you were born." 
Now, it can be argued that Bray is talking in general.  But remember, this is around the time that Cena and many other stars began really ramping up their use of social media.

6/20/2013: "We say goodbye to NXT."

"Today I want you to go and I want you to tell all these so called world leaders that they better heed my warning: Take notice to Bray Wyatt! Because today is the day that Bray Wyatt decided to bring down the machine." 
The recent feud with Daniel Bryan included frequent mention of "the machine".  Was Bray talking about The Authority...or John Cena, who due to his tendency to always overcome the odds, is often compared to a superhero or a machine/cyborg/"Prototype"?  Remember also that Cena is effectively the reason Bray Wyatt even exists after literally destroying Nexus, and a then-green "Husky Harris", causing the birth of Bray.

7/15/2013: "I will never turn my back on you."

"They've been lying to you, man. There ain't no such thing as a hero! Not anymore... But you, you and you and you, you have become addicted to the illusion of what a hero is. You have become addicted to the illusion of what a hero does for you."
There was never a question that John Cena is looked at as a (super)hero to many of the younger WWE fans and the females in the audience.  For many years he was pushed as the one carrying WWE on his back.  Could Bray be throwing shade at Cena and the WWE Universe, without directly mentioning his name?  Could "They" be Vince & Co?

 6/8/2013: "Wanna hear  secret, Kane?  I am already dead."

"Wanna hear a secret, Kane? I am already dead. I'm already dead."
The short-lived feud between Kane and the Wyatts ended in the total destruction of the Undertaker, Kane and many others.  But this one sentence refers to something entirely different.  Could Bray have been predicting the outcome of his encounter with Cena (since nobody really goes 'over' Cena)?

8/26/2013: "I love you, Sister Abigail"

"She said 'You gotta get them before they get you'. 'A rattlesnake's skin is the same color as leaves', she said. And we all understood her."
Anyone who recalls the disastrous encounter with the Bellas, Daniel Bryan and Gail Kim will recall clearly that the Bellas were basically dropping bets on taking Bryan's virginity (rattlesnake).  But the line about rattlesnake skin being the same color as leaves is interesting.  It implies that a rattlesnake might very well hide comfortably in the most appealing of places and not be seen until they strike.  John Cena has an awfully nice house, by the way, and Nikki is quite familiar with it...

9/2/2013: "Kane made his bed and now he is burning in it"

"Icarus was warned to never let his wings made of wax get too close to the sun, but pride can even make the most noble man do such foolish things. And as Icarus neared the sun his wings began to melt, boil. Icarus fell into the ocean was never heard from again."
At first read, and given the full length promo, it's easy to make the leap that Bray is simply throwing a shot at Kane.  But Kane has always been comfortable with heat and fire and the like.  The story of Icarus is such that he was so determined to fly as high as possible, that he became disillusioned, and his pride would not allow him to realize the obvious flaw in his plan.  The fake wings that he had, made of a substance that would melt in heat, would never allow him to stay airborne. Many have said that Cena was effectively pushed continuously (handed "wings") and allowed to go as far as he could, despite the outrcries from the WWE Universe and Cena's injuries ("wax").  We now see Cena in a slight decline, as though he is still one of the main superstars, others have caught the right attention (falling "into the ocean").

9/16/2013: "Patience is a virtue"

"They say patience is a virtue, but in my estimation it's a lost art. People want everything now, now, now, and they want more and more of it. They don't realize that beyond their precious city walls, there is another world full of animals, just like yours, my world. And in my world when one of my animals is sick or hurt, we don't let them fumble in agony. No, we put 'em down. Hey wanna see something really scary? Don't you worry about a thing Abigail! I'm gonna put them all down. I'm gonna put them down."
Now we're getting to the good stuff.  Cena's injury frequency started to ramp up, Daniel Bryan and Ziggler were working injured, and now we see Wyatt apparently calling attention to what he sees as weakness, waiting to be put down by someone superior.  He also speaks to (apparently) the way WWE will take their sweet time properly pushing a talent or a faction, and that the Universe wants to see their favorite stars pushed right away.  The problem with that, as seen wth Batista, is that a person pushed too fast invariably gets turned on.  Not an issue with Wyatt, who is likely the most popular heel in today's WWE.  It just took time and a repackaging to get this far.  He then of course went on destroying his opponents, including Daniel Bryan, Kane, and the Undertaker.

12/29/2013: "Your words mean nothing to him now!"

"...she dances and sings in the light, she lurks in the shadows and she always gets her way... "
During a promo about Daniel Bryan, Bray slips this line in that apparently was displaced.  It's the only line that refers to a "she".  Now, it's possible he might have been just referring to Sister Abigail, but the tone of the statement is of interest.  Might he have been referring to one of the Bellas?  Which of the two Bellas is portrayed as being happy and positive in public but needy and demanding in private?  Total Divas has answered that handily.  Nikki Bella.  (I do note that Cena seems to be quite happy turning Nikki down for many things she asks for.)


Now, let's look at what we know of Nikki.  We know she used to be "free" with her dating:
"Long as it's between 1 and 1,000...."



She has no sense of kitchen cleanliness:
"Water will warp the floor..."


She's sloppy...
"Smelly clothes hamper is over here..."


She has "friends"...
"I did live alone in San Diego, so...."



And of course, she now wants children:
"I can't give you that."


But she was only a "guest" and not a permanent part of his life.



Now, she wasn't too happy about that.
"It's all based on past experience John has had."


Of course, now we see Cena with a (reported) groin injury at the hands of the Wyatts.  Open your minds for a second.

We've got a pushy, needy, argumentative, sex-crazed, sloppy, failure in Nikki Bella spurned and treated like a basic houseguest with a vagina.

Suppose, just suppose, that she used some of her "attributes" to weaken Cena's groin muscle?  Suppose this is the beginning of a heel turn?  An alliance with Wyatts?  A promo tie-in with Total Divas, and revenge on John for the way he treated her?  Suppose WWE goes with a brainwashing storyline?

Crazy?  I don't know...
