If you didn't catch the Thanksgiving Week tradition that is Survivor Series you missed Roman Reigns become the sole survivor in a traditional 7-on-7 match, John Cena retained his title against Alberto Del Rio, Randy Orton retained his Championship, Big E Langston defeated Curtis Axel, the Beard & the Best beat the Wyatts, Mark Henry made a return against Ryback and we got a hint of a possible Centon feud at the end of the show. Oh! and you missed the Total Divas take on the non-"Total Divas" in a 7-on-7 elimination match.
First out was Alicia Fox, eliminated by Naomi.
Second was Rosa Mendes. Eliminated by Cameron.
Summer Rae decided that she was going to try and dance her way into the ring against Nikki Bella. Nikki pulled some dance moves of her own, doing the worm in the middle of the ring. Before eliminating her
Eva Marie was tagged in to face the Hybrid Diva, Kaitlyn. But was eliminated. Kaitlyn also eliminated Naomi.
Bri Bella came into the Ring, eliminating Kaitlyn. But was eliminated by Aksana. Nikki Bella avenged her sister, eliminating Aksana with an awesome new move.
Nikki was forced to face Tamina, but was able to get away and forced to tag in the newbie JoJo for her first on screen match. She was eliminated by AJ.
Natalya enters the match for the first time, eliminating Tamina and AJ with a sharpshooter. Leaving Natalya as the Sole Survivor of the Divas Elimination Match. Also leaving the Total Divas as the Sole Survivors!
What did you think of the Survivor Series? What do you think this will mean for the divas tonight on RAW?
I'm sure you've heard the buzz about Main Event's divas match, where Nikki Bella faced Alicia Fox. There is no denying this was a good match. Nikki pulled a few more tricks out of her bag, showing some of her own improvement in the ring since her injury. It looks like Bri isn't the only twin working with her boyfriend on her in-ring skills. Whether you love or hate John Cena, there is no denying man has talent. He doesn't always get to show exactly how much talent he has in the ring. Instead, most of the time people will only see the huge amount of energy he brings and not real talent he possesses.
Nonetheless, congratulations to Nikki on her victory against Foxy last night!
As most of you know, former WWE diva turned Gracie JiuJitsu-Self Defense trainer Eve Torres was in Florida last week with WWE. She taught two self defense classes to the WWE divas and the NXT divas. She also spent time backstage at Smackdown. During her busy time in Tampa, WWE.com caught up with the former diva and had an interview with her. They posted the interview earlier today, sending her fans into a craze (especially when she had a live YouTube interview later).
They asked her about her life after WWE, if she would consider coming back to the Squared Circle, and many other things. If you haven't read the article, you definitely should check it out... Eve: I needed to share this.
Since Eve left in January of this year, she has been building her custom home, planning her wedding to fellow Gracie JiuJitsu trainer, Rener Gracie, teaching self defense classes, and even filmed her very first movie (who doesn't want to see Eve kick butt in a movie?)! WWE reached out to Eve to come to the WWE Performance Center and teach the women self defense classes, which she was more than happy to do. Every woman should know how to defend themselves. And it seems from the pictures & tweets that the other superstars were happy to see Eve at SmackDown.
Eve talks about finding herself in WWE and working with the rest of the girls in the back in the interview. She really doesn't hold much back.
She reveals that she doesn't talk to many people anymore, but she keeps in contact with other former WWE Diva, Maryse; who posted a picture of them at Miz's birthday dinner together. Eve says she talks to Natalya a lot, and sometimes recieves "funny text every once in a while" from AJ and Kaitlyn. She even gives props to AJ on her work as WWE Divas' Champion.
The interviewer asks Eve her thoughts on Total Divas. She tells that the idea was around when she left the company, but she had no interest in being on the show. "I'd probably be the boring one. There's no 'Eve Mode,' that's for sure. I'd be in the background drinking vegetable juice," Eve says about the possibility of being cast on the show.
The last question they asked Eve is the question that everyone wants to know. Does she see herself coming back to the Divas Division? Her answer: No. "I will never say never," she later said in another interview. I know that we would for sure love to see Eve back in the ring. But, it looks that right now it won't be happening any time soon.
I'm sure you have all seen Nikki Bella's selfies on Instagram. If you haven't you really should check out her selfies. Have you ever noticed that in a lot of them she holds up one hand to her shoulder? Well @PrettySlamma (Ashley) has.
Ashley took a photo doing the "Nikki Bella Pose" as she called it. And who would have known that Nikki would notice it. The next two days, she and her friends took group photos doing the "Nikki Bella Pose" only for Nikki to reply back to them. That started the "Daily Nikki Bella Pose" that Ashley does every day. She has done up to THIRTY ONE photos. That's Crazy!
She even dressed up as Nikki for Halloween, being one of the few fans that Nikki posted on her instagram. Who would have known?
And now, some of Ashley's friends have joined in on the fun. They send her their pictures and she posts them on her own instagram & twitter as well. She also has a separate instagram account that she started just for the Nikki Bella Pose (dailynikkibellapose) Looks like she may have something in the making....
Do you want to try out the Nikki Bella Pose? Send it to Ashley!
As many of you know, the Bella Twins birthday is coming up on November 21! One of our blog fans, @PrettySlamma will be making a video for the twins' birthday. You can send in pictures, edits, messages, videos, etc. If you want to contribute just send in your items to prettyslamma@gmail.com or tweet them to Ashley.
If you were lucky enough to be watching TV today at 2:00 pm ET, you were lucky enough to catch four of the Total Divas on the Steve Harvey show. The Bella Twins and the Funkadactyls took over the daytime TV show talking about the return of the reality show, WWE, and their relationships. If you haven't been able to see it yet, you definitely should.
And remember, only FIVE more days until the return of Total Divas!
Even though we are a site for Total Divas, we want to send our congratulations to Rener & Ryron Gracie who are featured on the cover of South Bay Magazine!! In the article, they talk about Gracie Jiu-Jitsu and it's history. And if you pick up the magazine, you may even find some exclusive pictures inside!
If you can't get a copy of this magazine, you can read it online here!
On Halloween, we got to see the Divas choice of Halloween costumes. WWE posted the pictures from their holiday inspired session. Things ranged from Disney to superheroes. Check out the photos here:
Last week Eve Torres tweeted that she would be visiting Tampa, FL and reconnecting with some old friends. This only lead fans to ponder what she would be doing in Tampa (where SmackDown was being filmed). Tuesday Eve later instagramed a photo with the divas of WWE after teaching a self defense class! Natalya, AJ Lee, Summer Rae, and Eva Marie were just some of the girls there. Later that night, both Natalya & Eve posted a photo from backstage SmackDown. Nothing like a little Deja Vu, right? We haven't seen Eve since January when she left WWE, except for her occasional small signing or Hospital visit for the company. It was good to see her spending some time with the Superstars & Divas. From their tweets, it would appear that she is DEFINITELY missed backstage.
Right now, her main focus seems to be on her wedding in 2014. She & Rener just finished their home in late June, which is beautiful by the way. Now she can focus solely on her wedding, from her engagement photos it appears that it will be taking place on April 13, 2014. I can't wait to see her wedding dress!
Maybe one day she will make her return to WWE, from twitter it seems like most people miss seeing her every week.
Tell us, would you want to see Eve make a return to WWE in the future? Or do you think she will stick to working with Gracie JiuJistu and the occasional small appearance for WWE?
This year there were a lot of Total Diva Halloween costumes! The divas actually took the time to spread some of the costumes they thought were great!!!
Have you had the chance to see Daniel Bryan's Q&A at Comic Con from before Hell in a Cell? If you haven't make sure you watch the video. He talks about Total Divas, John Cena, training with Shawn Michaels & William Regal, and much more. You won't want to miss this hilarious video.
Sorry for the delay in posts! Things have been hectic for the bloggers here. But we're ready to get this show back on the road.
If you kept up with the show on E! Network during the summer you definitely saw all of the drama that unfolded. From Bri & Bryan moving to Arizona, the Funkadactyls trying to go separate ways, Jojo's jealousy over Eva, Nikki being injured, and Natalya's wedding. But nonetheless, the show was able to capture and keep everyone's attention (WWE fans & non-WWE fans alike).
CHECK OUT THE PREVIEWS HERE:
Tomorrow marks exactly ONE week until the second part of the first season airs. And honestly, I don't think I've been more excited. The preview shows that there is even MORE drama to come in the newest episodes. By the looks of it, it doesn't seem like the Tons of Funk girls are still on the greatest of terms. Ariane & Vinny head off to therapy, and in turn have some interesting ideas to try out. However, Ariane doesn't seem to the only one having some relationship issues. Bri grows more and more frustrated with Bryan, Nikki even calls her sister "needy." But it seems that one half of the Bellas will get their fairy tale ending. Nikki and John move in together, but Nikki doesn't seem all that happy with some of the conditions. Natalya and TJ are already having some post-wedding drama, involving one Fandango. Eva Marie joins the Bellas, but the famous phrase "Bellas Gonna Ball" might be turning into "Bellas Gonna Fall." Though, if you know the Bellas, I don't think they will be "falling" anytime soon. However, it seems that WWE has Ms. Eva Marie continuing to go after Nikki's man, John. Which isn't that well thought out of a plan if you ask me, I mean just look at her instagram or her husband's instagram, they are VERY happy with each other. Nonetheless, it appears that we may be getting what a lot of people want: Twin vs. Twin, or more like Bella Boyfriend vs. Bella Boyfriend (again). Which if you have been watching RAW & SmackDown, a twin feud is looking highly possibly as of late. From the preview we get a glimpse of everything to come, except for what's next for the other newbie, JoJo.
What do you expect to happen from the newest episodes of Total Divas? And honestly, from what you have seen from this point, would you want WWE & E! to continue on with the show?
