“I thought you’re supposed to be excited for this. Like when you watch the movies or all I’ll hear from my friends is like, ‘Oh my gosh, greatest day! Break out the champagne!’ And like for me, I’m just like, ‘Let’s make this quick.’ There’s just something that’s not feeling right,” Nikki, 34, says in the sneak peek.

Us Weekly broke the news in April that Nikki had called off her engagement to Cena after six years together. In an exclusive interview with Us, she revealed that the wedding planning got to be too much for the pair. “I didn’t realize that wedding planning was going to be the best form of therapy out there, that it was just going to make these feelings that I’ve stored away for the past six years come to life,” she said in the interview. “So I just had to hit them head on and now the cameras are rolling.”
