Having been engaged for some time, WWE superstars John Cena and Nikki Bella are also trying to squeeze in some time to plan their upcoming nuptials. Now that they have a lot of time on their hands, Cena and Bella are back to planning their wedding.

The wedding plans had to be placed on hold when Bella participated in "Dancing With the Stars," and in a recent interview, Cena revealed that practicing and preparing for the show took up a lot of Bella's time. However, now that Bella has been eliminated from the show, Cena went on to say that they can get back on track with their wedding planning.

While promoting his latest film, the second installment to "Daddy's Home," Cena also shared that they just started on their wedding plans. Although the wrestler plays a father in "Daddy's Home 2," Cena has said that he and Bella have no plans to start up a family yet. According to Cena, the idea of being a father is scary especially since he cannot even take care of himself.

Bella initially wanted to have children, and had some difficulty trying to understand Cena's decision not to have a kid. However, she soon changed her mind after her twin sister Brie gave birth to a girl named Birdie Joe Danielson. Bella then felt that being an aunt can be a good substitute for motherhood.

Bella shared that she loves and adores her niece, and seeing her sister having to sacrifice her body and her life to give birth made her realize that she is content with being an aunt.

In just a matter of a few weeks, it seems that both Bella and Cena have covered a lot in their wedding planning. While promoting his new animated film titled "Ferdinand," Cena confirmed to E! News that they are busy with the planning. As previously mentioned, Bella's elimination from "Dancing With the Stars" has given them time to practice some pre-wedding dancing lessons from Bella's former dance partner, Artem Chigvintsev.

Cena revealed that Chigvintsev is going to teach him his first dance, and he hopes that he will be able to take tips from his lessons.
