the Minor Powers (my cutsie name for D Bry and Cena for purposes of this thread) have not yet exploded.
Think bout it, Bryan, like Macho Man before him is the smaller, quicker wrestler who is a superstar in his own right but clearly behind the top guy in Cena/Hogan (and that comparison is easy enough), and like Mach before him, D Bry has an attractive brunette lady.
Luckily for Bryan and us all, Mama Bella (may or may not be an Italian restaurant name idea) had TWO identical daughters so that Cena could have one of his own. Otherwise, he, like Hogan would be looking at Brie with lust in his eyes and his heart, and do his friend wrong through envy and jealousy. John has already shown this capacity with the Eve/Ryder thing. Cena's Loyalty and Respect do not pertain to the Bro Code, and his Hustle is to take other dudes wimmens away from them, much like his analogue the Hulkster tried to do to what was the blissful, happy, slightly paranoia-fueled relationship of Savage/Liz.
So if we can thank Nikki Bella for one thing, it's keeping these two friends from rending each other asunder.
Clearly, had there been two Ms. Elizabeths ( Elizabethi?) Mania V and the World Wrestling Federation likely would've never been the same.

We can thank Nikki Bella('s plastic surgeon) for a couple more things.

I really wanted a Macho Man/Elizabeth thing to happen with Bryan and AJ.
Unfortunately, WWE decided to make AJ "crazy", thus losing all reason to care about her character at the time. I could only imagine how the fans would have reacted if they made poor Elizabeth be on the verge on insanity.

But this analysis does not take into the account how both Bellas are, indeed, a hive mind. On paper, both D-Bry and Cena could be allied forever, and end up a friendly rivalry similar to fellow brothers-in-law/competitors Davey Boy Smith/Bret Hart.
However, the fact that there are two Bellas leads to an important problem- both not only in the field of Cena having jealous eyes, but in the greater microcosm of Cena's character as a whole.
Daniel Bryan made his way to the top of the WWE through the love of the fans who followed him throughout the independent scene. As a technical wrestler, his road to the top has made him an icon to the hardcore fanbase. This is the same hardcore fanbase that has continually failed to adopt Cena as one of its own, no matter his won/loss record, match quality, or ability as an all-round performer. Cena, for all his skills, has never managed to break through and become a hardcore darling.
This ties into where the jealousy naturally comes: Both Bellas have shown, even while dating/engaged to their respective significant others, that they are available together to any guest host who appears. As Cena would know, the living embodiment of hardcore, Tommy Dreamer, did prove that the true way to show how hardcore a formerly "non-hardcore" person could be is to take them both.
Therefore, Cena can still have jealous eyes and try to take Brie for himself as well as having Nikki, both for the cheap thrill of getting both Bella Twins, and to metaphorically strike a blow to the fanbase of Daniel Bryan and show them "yes, I am hardcore too, and every bit as good as Daniel Bryan is."

They should do a gimmick where Bryan is Walter White and Cena is Hank with Brie being Skylar and Nikki as Marie.

I just ruined it, but I would like to point out that just now, on the forum homepage, in describing the most recent post, it said "The fact that there are two Bellas is the only reason that I'm Batman."
