— As noted
several days ago here on the website, the E! Network has ordered another ten
episodes of WWE Total Divas. A press release was then issued by the E! Network
and WWE announcing that season three would debut with Rosa Mendes being added to
the cast.
For what it’s
worth, the E! Network was paying an estimated $470,000 per episode for seasons
one and two. WWE was spending nearly $400,000 per episode to produce the show so
they weren’t making all that much money on it. It’s rumored that WWE may have
charged the E! Network more money for the new season three
episodes.
— As noted
earlier here on the website, the original plan for the Natalya vs. Charlotte
match for the vacant NXT women’s title on th WWE Network Takeover live special
on May 29 was to have Bret Hart and Ric Flair appear in the corner of their
respective family members for the match. Hart reportedly had an issue that made
it impossible to appear at the event. The plan is now to just have Flair in
Charlotte’s corner. There was said to be discussion of having Jim “The Anvil”
Neidhart, Nattie’s father, used in Hart’s role, but most believe that won’t
happen.
Additionally, Bret
Hart has yet to sign a new Legends contract with WWE.
