  • Update On Storylines Fans Can Expect On Season Two Of WWE’s Total Divas

    OK! Magazine recently released the following updated synopsis for season two of WWE’s “Total Divas” reality show, which is scheduled to premiere on the E! cable channel on March 16th at 9pm EST.:

    “Eva Marie starts up a friendship with new cast member Summer, who both bond over being the new girl. Eva Marie, who’s becoming more and more popular with WWE fans, also secretly eloped with her boyfriend and her family is not going to be too thrilled when they find that out. Brie, meanwhile, is planning her wedding to Daniel Bryan, which is getting overshadowed by her twin sister, Nikki, whose on a break with her ex, John Cena.

    As for Nattie? She’s going to be in the center of lots of the feuds this season, one with Summer (Nattie doesn’t like how quickly she’s risen to fame), and another with Ariane, who confronts Nattie about acting inappropriate at the Bella twins’ birthday party. Uh oh.”

  • Backstage News On Plans For WWE Divas Title At WMXXX, Update On Naomi’s Return

    As things stand presently, there are no official plans for the WWE Divas Championship at WrestleMania XXX. The original plan, before Naomi suffered the eye injury at RAW, was for the Funkadactyl to face AJ Lee for the title. While not official, the likely scenario would have seen Naomi win the title as part of a story line for the second season of the “Total Divas” reality show. Even though those plans may be off the table, there is a good chance that Naomi’s injury and recovery will be used as part of a Total Divas story line.

    As far as Naomi’s role at WrestleMania XXX is concerned, after the company received word last week that she will not need surgery, there is still time to factor her into plans for this year’s WrestleMania.

    Naomi is expected to be out of in-ring action for four-to-six weeks. She won’t be able to appear on television unless she drives to RAW, as the pressure on her eyes from a flight would be dangerous.

He would just be at our house, staring at the crew and would say, ‘We don’t live an exciting life, is this fun for you guys? Because we don’t know if this is fun.’ They were like, ‘This is great, pretend we’re not here, don’t talk to us.’ Now we’re so used to it, we’ll say things and then we’ll look at each other and be like, ‘Gosh, did they catch that?’ ”

    E! SETS “TOTAL DIVAS’” SEASON TWO PREMEIRE DATE FOR MARCH 16, 2014 AT 9PM ET/PT

    Blonde Bombshell And Feisty WWE Diva Summer Rae Joins The Cast Of E!’s Most-Watch New Series Of 2013, Documenting The Private Lives of The Biggest Female Names in WWE

    Sneak Peek: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Lrqphm8TZ1s

    Los Angeles, CA, January 29, 2014 – E!, WWE ® and Bunim-Murray Productions continue their unprecedented look inside the sports entertainment giant when season two of “Total Divas” premieres Sunday, March 16 at 9pm ET/PT leading into an all-new episode of “#RichKids of Beverly Hills.” Cameras will once again showcase the professional and personal lives of WWE Divas, Nikki and Brie Bella (WWE Divas “The Bella Twins™”), Nattie (WWE Diva “Natalya™”), Trinity (WWE Diva “Naomi™”), Ariane (WWE Diva “Cameron™”) and WWE’s newest Diva, Eva Marie™. In addition, blonde beauty WWE Diva Summer Rae™ joins the cast and gives viewers insight into her personal struggles as she makes her way to a coveted top spot in the Divas hierarchy. Between balancing a personal life, fighting for the spotlight, and maintaining romantic relationships, the Divas are up against the odds. However, their unique lifestyles bring them together in a bond of sisterhood like no other. Join the fun, fascinating and glamorous lives of E!’s “Total Divas” when the series returns with 10 all-new, hour-long episodes beginning Sunday, March 16 at 9pm ET/PT.

    As one of E!’s newest hit series, “Total Divas” averaged 836,000 viewers ages 18-49 and 1.3 million total viewers, making it E!’s most-watched freshman series since 2011. “Total Divas” was E!’s second-strongest original series of 2013 in the 18-49 demo after “Keeping Up with the Kardashians” and ranked as cable’s #1 reality series in its Sunday 10-11pm timeslot this fall with viewers 18-34 and women 18-34.

    In the new season of “Total Divas,” the personal drama outside the ring continues as Nikki Bella’s break from boyfriend WWE Superstar John Cena® overshadows her twin sister Brie’s wedding planning. Nikki will have to decide if she wants to stay with John despite his refusal to get remarried or have children. Nikki and Brie aren’t the only Divas with marriage on their minds as Eva Marie must hide the fact that she has secretly married her boyfriend, Jonathan, unbeknownst to her family who are coming to her home for a visit. Wedding bells are also in the air for WWE Superstar John Uso® and Trinity, although they face opposition from Uso’s father, who would rather see him with a Samoan wife. Meanwhile, Nattie seeks advice from the ever vivacious Ariane on how to spice up her newlywed life.

    It’s no secret that summer is everyone’s favorite season so it should come as no surprise that “Total Divas’” newest starlet, Summer Rae, shined as brightly as her namesake when she made her WWE debut in April 2013 as the escort of sexy, fan-favorite WWE Superstar Fandango®. The New York born and North Carolina raised spunky blue-eyed vixen has quickly captivated the attention of the massive WWE Universe and is on a steady rise towards the top of the Divas Division. Outside of the ring, the former All-Star cornerback and team captain of the Lingerie Football League’s, Chicago Bliss, is a college graduate with a passion for dance and the Chicago Bears. The single lady is focused on her career, but even with her whirlwind introduction to the limelight, there may be one WWE Superstar that has caught her eye.

    Throughout the season, the women continue to climb the ranks in WWE with Eva Marie becoming a fierce competitor and fan favorite, Nikki reestablishing herself after her nearly career ending injury and Brie and Trinity positioning themselves as possible Divas Champion contenders. Nattie, however, isn’t thrilled when Summer Rae infringes on her fan base and screen time. The two women go head-to-head in the ring and behind the scenes as tensions rise. The season culminates with Brie Bella’s marriage to WWE Superstar, Daniel Bryan® and the women compete for a top spot, and the Diva’s Title, at WrestleMania.

    “Total Divas” is produced by WWE and Bunim-Murray Productions. Jon Murray, Gil Goldshein, Jeff Jenkins and Russell Jay are Executive Producers for Bunim-Murray Productions.

    Don’t miss the season two premiere of E!’s “Total Divas” on Sunday, March 16 at 9pm only on E!.

  • Tammy Sytch Talks About Total Divas & Not Watching WWE TV

    Here are some highlights of WWE Hall of Famer Tammy “Sunny” Sytch’s recent interview with the Miami Herald:

    Women’s Wrestling Today: “I have nothing against women in the ring because now it has become so commonplace. It’s not my first choice of things to do. Let’s say if I were to ever go back, I wouldn’t want to get in the ring. I’m not a wrestler. Never any good at it. Never said I was any good at it. Give me a microphone, and that’s where my talents are. I think I’m always going to be stuck in that groove to leave it to the guys. There is a place for girls in wrestling, but for me, it’s not in a wrestling ring.”

    Total Divas: “I’m very happy for those girls. A lot of the stuff, after watching the first episode, it has to be scripted. I don’t see everyone as catty as that when I’m there. Everybody pretty much gets along every time I’m in that locker room. You have to have that for television, though. I’m happy for them. Nattie [Neidhart] is one of the main people on the show, and I’ve known her since she was a kid. So I’m really proud of her.”

    Not Watching RAW: “I don’t even watch the show anymore, to be honest. If they call me to do an appearance, usually I will watch a month or so ahead of time. Think about it. If you are a dentist for 23 years, don’t you get sick of looking at teeth? Same as me. Where I’ve been in this business for 23 years and am tired of watching it.”

  • Maria Kanellis Speaks On Working With Vince McMahon & Paul Heyman, Total Divas

    The following are highlights from a recent interview with former WWE Diva Maria Kanellis:

    On working with Paul Heyman in OVW in the past: “I’m kind of an underground Paul Heyman girl and he is what really inspired the ditsy character, he really inspired me to do the things that I did at WWE. I’m an admirer of his work, I think what he has done with so many guys and throughout ECW was incredible.”

    When I was in OVW I just watched him as he helped CM Punk every day, Punk was already incredible but then Paul Heyman kind of pushed him over the edge and gave him that opportunity on ECW to be who he is today.”

    On what Vince McMahon is like as a boss: “He was great with me, I know he can be very tough with other people but with me he wasn’t, he was like a father figure to me, I really enjoyed working for Vince.”

    On her opinions of the Total Divas reality show: “I’ve watched a few of the episodes of Total Divas and I think it is a great show. There is a lot of tremendous talent in WWE’s women division at the moment, I think AJ Lee is incredible, I’ve always been a fan of Natalya. There are also some great women down in NXT like Paige, there are a lot of great talented women that are a part of that company at the moment.”

    On whether or not we could ever see her and Mike Bennett in WWE or TNA: “TNA called me twice this year, I think they’re a great company but I’m loving my time in ROH and I’m definitely happy with my fiancée. Who knows if that will ever change, but I wish TNA all the best in the world, I think the girls there are tremendous.”

    WWE called me earlier this year and for whatever reason that fell through, would I go back there eventually, sure. I loved my time there I loved traveling the world and the people that I worked with. I’m sure Mike will be in the WWE very soon and it will be great to join him there.”
