As the Broncos and Patriots went to war in the AFC Championship Game, there was a battle between professional wrestling's power couple as well.
John Cena and Nikki Bella were at odds over who they each wanted to see win the game.
WWE RAW Preview: 'Game On' As Road To WrestleMania Continues
The "Cenation" leader is a West Newberry, Mass., native and a well-known Patriots fan. However, while Cena was undoubtedly rooting for Tom Brady and the Patriots on Sunday, his girlfriend's heart was elsewhere.
The longest-reigning Divas Champion in WWE history posted a tweet that depicted her wearing a Broncos jersey. Bella also revealed that she was rooting for Denver to topple New England and get to the Super Bowl.

Projected Card For WWE Fastlane 2016
In the battle of this power couple, Bella earned bragging rights. The Broncos defeated the Patriots, 20-18, ending New England's bid to get back to the Super Bowl for the second straight year.
Peyton Manning and the Broncos are now headed to the big game for the first time since the 2013-14 season, where they lost to the Seahawks, 43-8, at Super Bowl XLVIII.
Championship Sunday was also big for the WWE, as it presented the Royal Rumble in Orlando. Cena (shoulder) and Bella (back) are sidelined with injuries, so neither took part in the first major WWE event of 2016.
That didn't stop them from rumbling with each other over which team they wanted to see play in historic Super Bowl 50.
