– WWE Diva Cameron has been off WWE TV in recent months because she is working on her music career. She released a music video earlier this year, which WWE promoted on their official YouTube channel.
She has been doing personal appearances unrelated to WWE and she will be relaunching her website soon. She is also working on a clothing line for adults and kids called #WrongNumber, which promotes anti-bullying.
During a recent interview, she stated that she still hopes to win the Divas Championship one day, so we probably haven’t seen the last of her in WWE.
WWE Diva Cameron recently spoke with Jim Varsallone of the Miami Herald about a number of topics, including the fact that she is “taking time off from the rigorous WWE travel schedule,” and that she is launching her new “Wrong #” anti-bullying campaign. Below are some of the highlights from the interview.
On the new campaign: “I’m able to launch my own thing to bring awareness to this issue for people who have experienced bullying — especially with social media being so huge as that’s where the biggest part of bullying is today, cyberbullying. I have a second single coming out, and it’s entitled ‘Wrong #.’ It’s my own personal campaign, talking about anti-bullying through music. It’s my own sassy way of talking about it.”
On giving credit to WWE’s Norman Smiley and Sara Del Rey for training her: “I didn’t have much training when I was in developmental, because I got called up so early, but Norman Smiley was such a great, patient coach. He was great when I was in FCW. As far as being on the road, Sara Del Rey was always very helpful. The hard thing for me was I did it backward. Everyone usually comes up well trained and ready to go. For me, being called up so early, I was like, ‘Oh my God. How am I going to do this? I barely know what I’m doing.’ It’s sink or swim. It’s been difficult, because I’m still learning to this day. but Sara Del Rey has definitely helped along the way, and my ex-tag team partner, Naomi, helped me so much, when we were partners together, when we were just valets.”

Dark Match
– Zack Ryder beat Adam Rose. The crowd was firmly behind Ryder, who won with his finisher.
WWE Main Event Taping
– Stardust beat Jack Swagger.
– Paige and Emma beat Summer Rae and Cameron. Emma was destroyed most of the match, but Paige made Cameron tap to the PTO.
– The Lucha Dragons beat The Ascension.
– The New Day came out to boos. Big E referred to Fresno as San Jose. The Prime Time Players came out, and Titus O’Neil corrected Big E.
– WWE is reportedly no longer branding WrestleMania with numbers, at least with the logo. Instead, symbols are being used to distinguish each event.
It was announced last week that WrestleMania will come to AT&T Stadium in Texas on April 3, 2016 and “32” is nowhere to be seen on the logo. It instead features a star to represent the “Lone Star State.” On top of that, the logo for this year’s WrestleMania features a “Play” button to represent Silicon Valley’s Levi’s Stadium in Santa Clara, California.
This is according to Dave Meltzer of F4WOnline.com, who said on Wrestling Observer Radio today that the events are no longer being branded with numbers “because Vince thinks it makes it sound too old.”
– E! has released this preview clip of the next all-new episode of Total Divas, which airs two weeks from now on Sunday, Feb. 8. It is centered on Alicia Fox and Cameron, who dislike each other.

The following matches were taped for this week’s edition of WWE Superstars at the American Airlines Arena in Dallas, Texas prior to Monday’s RAW Reunion show.
– Naomi def. Cameron in a Divas match between two former tag-team partners to kick off the evening. This was said to be pretty much exactly what you’d expect in terms of a match.
– Fandando def. Sin Cara in a fun little match to end the always brief Superstars taping. The crowd was said to be pretty behind Sin Cara, however in the end, Fandango picked up the “W” with his finisher.
– NXT officials are looking at doing a lengthy singles program between NXT Champion Sami Zayn and new NXT Superstar Kevin Owens. Depending on how long they keep the feud going, Zayn could end up staying in NXT for another year.
– Below is the official music video for the single “Bye Bye” by WWE Diva and Total Divas star Cameron (aka Arianne).
– The “local tag-team” that lost to The Ascension on Friday night’s edition of WWE SmackDown were Lance Anoa’i, who is a cousin of The Usos and Roman Reigns, and Rhett Titus, a former ROH Tag-Team Champion.
– WWE and E! will be presenting the official music video for the single “Bye Bye,” by WWE Diva and Total Divas star Cameron this weekend to coincide with the return of Total Divas on Sunday.
As noted recently, WWE Diva Naomi and her real-life husband, Jimmy Uso, are no longer scheduled to be a part of the Total Divas cast when the next season of the show airs on E!.
Apparently the decision was made because of the fact that the two recently got married.
It’s believed that there wasn’t much that could be done with them on the show after Naomi and Cameron broke up as a tag-team, and because most of the “married couple issues” in the storylines for the show would be used by other married couples that are part of the cast.
– WWE recently applied for trademarks on the following terms — “AWA American Wrestling Association,” “Beyond the Ring,” “Crush Couture”, “Crush Wear”, “NXT,” “Skull King,” MizDow,” “Total Divas” and “Shelton Benjamin.”
– On December 3rd, The Miz, Darren Young, Eva Marie and Cameron all filmed an episode of the FOX television show “Hell’s Kitchen.”
Survivor Series is mere hours away at this point. This baby is totally free, so anyone paying for this pay-per-view is doing it all wrong. In total, there are five matches on the main card, including a traditional Survivor Series tag team main event. Without further ado, here are my predictions for tonight’s Survivor Series pay-per-view.
Fandango (with Rosa Mendes) vs. TBA
Although Fandango’s opponent has yet to be announced, I’d put my money on Adam Rose serving as the punching bag. The match will likely be used to further tension between Adam Rose and the Bunny, while also allowing Fandango to pick up a victory in his return to action.
Winner: Fandango by pinfall
Alicia Fox, Emma, Naomi, and Natalya vs. Paige, Cameron, Layla, and Summer Rae (Divas Elimination Match)
This will be similar to last year’s Divas elimination match in that it will be total waste of ten minutes (and if we’re really lucky, we might get to see it again on Raw tomorrow!). This could go in many directions, but my guess is that Paige’s team wins after last eliminating Natalya.
Winners: Paige, Cameron, Layla, and Summer Rae by pinfall
The following are complete spoiler results of the WWE Main Event taping in Liverpool, England, for tonight’s show on the WWE Network:
– Stardust def. Adam Rose in the opening match of the taping. They teased more tension among Rose and his “Rosebuds.”
– Alicia Fox def. Cameron in Divas action. This was said to be your basic Divas match, which according to our correspondent in attendance, the crowd was not into at all.
– Tyson Kidd def. Sami Zayn in a battle of NXT stars. Natalya was at ringside for this one and ended up playing a big factor in the end of the match. The finish saw Kidd pick up the win after Nattie provided a distraction.
– Dean Ambrose def. Justin Gabriel in singles competition. This was said to be one of the better matches of the taping, as you would expect with these two. This was also the main event of the taping, so we’re switching gears and heading into the SmackDown taping. Check the main page for live spoiler results coverage of that show.
TMZ recently caught up with WWE Divas Cameron, Rosa Mendes and Alicia Fox and asked them about the subject of “wardrobe malfunctions.”
Cameron and Mendes both claimed to have experienced one. Mendes said “didn’t want to talk about her wardrobe malfunctions,” while Cameron admitted to having one at WrestleMania. (Photos of which you can see here).
This led to Mendes copping to hers. “[My] butt [was] shown on Main Event,” said the newest member of the Total Divas cast. (You can check out Rosa’s Main Event wardrobe malfunction here).
The trio was also asked why WWE Divas often date wrestlers, which led to Rosa saying, “We’re around each other so much, it’s kind of like, like we’re around each other more than our families, so we tend to see each other more, so that’s why it usually happens.”
Alicia Fox added, “I’m not looking for a wrestler, I’m looking for a cowboy.” Rosa said she’s looking for a “muscle man.”
Regarding reports that Vince McMahon doesn’t want a cast member of WWE Total Divas to become WWE Divas Champion, it’s said that it was merely behind-the-scenes chatter until Total Divas cast member Cameron spoke out about it.
Cameron said the following regarding the alleged “rule” during her recent appearance on Chris Jericho’s “Talk Is Jericho” podcast:
“The whole thing we have been fighting is being on the show (means) not being able to have a chance at the title.”
As far as the rule itself is concerned, most believe that WWE officials do not want the Divas title to be confused due to the several month delay in Total Divas being taped and actually airing on television.
– The official WWE website is currently running a poll asking fans who they feel will be the next WWE Divas Champion. The options are Alexa Bliss, Becky Lynch, Sasha Banks, Bayley, Tamina Snuka, Summer Rae, Rosa Mendes, Eva Marie, Naomi, Emma, Charlotte and Cameron. With over 10,000 votes cast, Naomi is leading the pack with over 30 percent of the vote. Trailing Naomi are Charlotte, Eva Marie, Summer Rae, Emma and Tamina Snuka, respectively. You can vote on the poll at WWE.com.

WWE.com wrote the following regarding Marie and Coyle’s marriage:
Eva Marie marries Jonathan Coyle
Congratulations to Eva Marie on her official marriage to Jonathan Coyle!
Eva Marie, who had previously eloped with her boyfriend Coyle, sealed their union with a ceremony in Napa, Calif., that she dubbed the #RedWedding on Twitter. Eva’s fellow Divas Summer Rae, Cameron, Brie Bella, Nikki Bella and Layla were in attendance, as was an E! camera crew who captured the evening’s festivities for the upcoming season of “Total Divas,” which begins Sunday, Sept. 7, at 9/8 CT.
The following matches were taped prior to WWE RAW on Monday for this week’s edition of WWE Superstars:
– Cameron def. Emma in Divas action to open the show. This was said to be your basic Divas match.
– Sheamus def. Titus O’Neil in the main event. O’Neil was said to be pretty over with the fans in the arena, however when all was said and done, Sheamus picked up the “W” with a Brogue Kick.
