Unrelated Total Divas Note



Such a related but unrelated topic to cover in a post but:



Congratulations to AJ Lee for getting her first official WWE Shirt!!!

The design is so wicked!! (I don't usually use words like wicked) Check her twitter to see for yourself!

She isn't on the show but she has stolen my heart with her awesomeness. I felt the need to write about this because she is a WWE Diva. I am quite bias as well. I am so happy and I will be buying a shirt or seven. AJ has earned it all and I can't wait to see what is in store for her next.

Total Divas Promo


After being teased with diva themed DVDs and left wanting more after WWE matches we may have an answer. E! has presented WWE fans and Diva fans with a new show. This show is called "Total Divas". This show allows fans to get a peak of the real lives of five WWE Divas. These women are Natalya Neidhart, Nikki and Brie Bella also known as The Bella Twins, and Cameron and Naomi also known as the Funkadactyls. We are also going to be introduced to Divas in the making Joseann Offerman and Natalie Eva Marie. We do see some glimpses of Jojo and Natalie but for now the first look is focused on our Fabulous Five.

 
"I get it; you want to be a Bella Twin. I mean if I wasn't a Bella Twin, I would want to be a Bella Twin" 
 These words are stated by Nikki Bella. She is also coined as Naughty Nikki but we won't get into that at this time. This first look shows that some of these women will be crying and showing their emotional sides. At one point Nikki Bella is shown wiping tears away from her face. Natalya is shown hugging her significant other fellow WWE Superstar Tyson Kidd and Cameron is shown smooching a man we may find out is her boyfriend. The Funky Naomi is seen crying and her equally funky counterpart Cameron is shown comforting her. There are glimpse of WrestleMania 29. If you are fan you will note that the match involving The Bella Twins and The Funkadactyls was cut from the program because of time constraints. Was that the reason Naomi was crying? Will we get to see what happened backstage after these ladies found out their match was cut? I think anything is possible on this show.
As a Divas fan and a supporter of women's wrestling I can't help but feel my views are conflicted. I love that these five divas have an hour to show the world who they are. Part of me would love for them to have time to showcase their talents in a wrestling ring. This is a big step in the right direction for the WWE Divas. But I start to question even more. Are The Bella Twins the stars of this show? They seem to be the main focus of the show and what people report about the show. In WWE reports as well as E! reports, they seem to be the main focus of the articles. They attended the E! premiere for the show and everyone likes to call it, "The Bella Twins" show, so is it really 'Total Divas?' Or is it 'Total Bellas?' Did the twins return for the show? As most know they were formerly The Bella Twins as they took a hiatus from the WWE ring. They cited being tired and run down which is completely understandable. But the return seemed to be so sudden. All of a sudden The Bella Twins return and we found a few weeks later they are to be featured on a new show. No coincidence there. Since I am a fan of trashy and not so trashy reality television I want to see where this show is going. I'm already invested in being a WWE fan and hopefully more people will find these ladies appealing.
In my eyes I see the show and these women in this light:
Nikki Bella: very egotistical and narcissistic. She will be the one that people will love to hate. We may get a glimpse of what her "relationship" is like with the current face of the company who seems he may falling from his current pedestal.
Brie Bella: will be the complete opposite of her sister. She will also be an example of a woman who is in a successful relationship with a WWE Star. Naomi: hopefully we will see her true character develop.

Naomi: hopefully we will see her true character develop
 
Cameron: I would love to see what Cameron is all about. She seems super sweet and I think nothing ruffles her feathers more than a "Damn Bella Twin" 

Natalya: the one we need to root for. She is the most talented in-ring performer of the bunch. She is from a wrestling family so this business is her blood. Will we get to see her true feelings about her place in the WWE currently?

All in all, I'm excited to see what will happen as we learn more about this show. I'll be even more excited when we see the first episode of the show. I will be doing weekly recaps of the show and possibly some little surprises along the way. I am excited and ready for a wild total divalicious ride.

Plenty of Love,
