Otunga talks to WWE.com about his fiance, Jennifer Hudson and the mainstream attention their relationship receives.

Yeah, it seems like everything I do gets a lot of media coverage. That was just one little thing I said and it’s kind of crazy how people just jumped on it and ran with it. Actually, someone asked me the question, “Hey, what do you think about getting married in the ring?” And I told them “Yeah, that would be cool. I don’t think Jennifer would go for it, but it’d be cool.” Now it’s just blown up and evolved, and it’s all over the place.
