WWE star Nikki Bella has been the talk of the town for her rumored relationship with Philadelphia Eagles cornerback Cooper DeJean. The rumor mill has been churning about their romance for the past couple of weeks.
It picked up steam after Bella shared a snippet of herself posing in front of DeJean's locker during her trip to Lincoln Field. The cornerback reacted with an Eagle and a heart emoji to the picture. Now, on Monday night's "WWE Raw" at Van Andel Arena in Michigan, Nikki Bella took a shot at the Detroit Lions.

"Lets be honest, the Lions wish they were as good as the Philadelphia Eagles, am I right? Oh wait, better yet, Ohio State."Cooper DeJean and the Eagles faced the Detroit Lions last month at home. The Super Bowl LIX champions went on to secure a 16-9 victory to put up a four-game winning skid.
The Eagles drafted Cooper DeJean in the second round of the 2024 draft with the 40th pick. So far this season, he has tallied 84 total tackles, two interceptions and four tackles for loss.
Cooper DeJean does John Cena's "Five Knuckle Shuffle" after interception against the Commanders
During their Week 16 victory over the Washington Commanders, Cooper DeJean secured an interception in the third quarter. The cornerback decided to celebrate this moment by doing WWE legend John Cena's iconic move called the "Five Knuckle Shuffle."
This celebration sparked different reactions on social media since DeJean's rumored girlfriend, Nikki Bella, was previously engaged to John Cena. The former couple split back in 2018 because of their varying perspectives on life.
After the game, Cooper DeJean said that the celebration was a tribute to Cena, whom he grew up watching as a kid for his 26 years of service in the WWE industry. He retired earlier this month on Dec. 13 after his final match against Gunther.
"The celebration, just a tribute to John Cena," DeJean said. "The guy I watched growing up. Big WWE guy when I was a kid. So yeah, we had one planned for a while."The Eagles currently lead the NFC West with a 10-5 record. They next face the Bills on Sunday at 4:25 p.m. ET.
