WWE sent out the following press release, hyping season three of
Total Divas. The show returns on September 7th and will focus on Daniel Bryan’s
injury, couples therapy for Tyson Kidd and Natalya, Summer Rae filming The
Marine 4 with The Miz, the return of Rosa Mendes and the breakup of The
Funkadactyls.
E!, WWE® and Bunim-Murray Productions will once
again shadow WWE Divas The Bella Twins™ (Nikki and Brie Bella), Natalya™
(Nattie), Naomi™ (Trinity), Cameron™ (Ariane) and rookies Eva Marie™ and Summer
Rae™ giving viewers an inside peek into how these women, who are on the road for
52 weeks a year, balance their personal lives while fighting for the spotlight.
In addition, the brazen Latina, WWE Diva Rosa Mendes™ joins the cast when “Total
Divas” returns for 10 all-new episodes beginning Sunday, September 7th at 9pm
ET/PT.
In the season two finale, Brie Bella and WWE Superstar Daniel
Bryan™ had just tied the knot in a beautiful ceremony surrounded by friends,
family and many of the gorgeous girls. While most of the Divas were living
large, Nikki was patching up her relationship with WWE Superstar John Cena™ as
he had discovered her long kept secret —unbeknownst to anyone but her twin
sister she had been married before. Now, the Divas are back with an even more
prominent position in WWE as each woman has become a serious contender for the
WWE Divas championship title.
Following an off-the-grid honeymoon, Brie
Bella and Daniel Bryan are back in the ring, but are quickly challenged with
unexpected newlywed hurdles as Daniel faces an injury and Brie considers
motherhood. While Brie has babies on the brain, her sister Nikki contemplates
freezing her eggs when she learns that John doesn’t want children… adding to the
growing list of issues they don’t see eye to eye on.
The relationships in
“Total Divas” continue on a rocky road as Nattie and her WWE Superstar husband,
Tyson Kidd™ take a stab at couples therapy to work through their marital issues,
Trinity and Ariane end their professional relationship as a WWE tag team, and
Eva is forced to pick sides between her stubborn new husband and her
disapproving father, who learns that his cancer has returned. Luckily, things
are looking bright for Ariane as she takes the next step with her boyfriend
Vinnie, and Summer Rae jets off to film a lead role in “The Marine 4: Moving
Target” alongside WWE Superstar Mike “The Miz™” Mizanin. Just when the girls are
ready to let out a sigh of relief with their nemesis Summer out of the picture
for a while, former model Rosa Mendes returns to the WWE’s Diva roster after a
year and a half hiatus.
During the sophomore run of the series, Total
Divas reached over 7.7 Million Total Viewers and 4.6 Million A18-49. On the
