This is the synopsis for tonight’s show. Paige attempts to hide a serious neck injury; Nikki wants to start a winery and becomes offended when Brie doesn’t take her seriously; Nattie’s wrestling character has to turn “bad” and the crowd doesn’t know how to react.
Total Divas starts off with it’s usual light hearted scene. Paige is backstage at Raw and she gets a freebie and cops a feel of Big E’s breasts.

Renee Young and Natalya are in the makeup area. Renee asks Natty if she has heard about the upcoming brand extension. Renee tells Natty that she hopes that her and Dean Ambrose are not being split up….. Renee, Eva Marie and Nataylya are now in a different area backstage, WWE Producer John Laurinatis is walking by and Natalya stops to ask him a question. She tries to get some details from him about the split but Laurinatis claims that he doesn’t know anything. The women laugh at John and know that he is not telling the truth.
The Total Divas theme plays and it is followed by this quote by Paige.I’m pissed. Now everything I didn’t want is happening, and I’ve only told one person.
The next scene of the show is Nikki and Brie Bella working out together at a gym. Nikki wants to go to Nappa Valley with Brie while John Cena is away filming a movie. Brie agrees to it but asks Nikki to not bring up business, while they are there. Brie tells Nikki, that she stresses her out and thinks that it may be killing her fertility and stopping her from getting pregnant.
We are now at a WWE Live Event in Detroit, Michigan. Natalya has arrived and sees WWE VP of talent relations, Mark Carrano. After joking with each other about Natalya’s struggles to find buildings. Mark tells Natty that he has to have a meeting with her later. Natalya laughs and asks if she is being killed off. Mark jokingly says maybe. Off screen, Natalya talks about how she is happy with her current TV time and is worried about changes being made with her….. Natalya runs into Lana and Renee backstage and tells them about the impending meeting.
John Cena and Nikki Bella are now having dinner together at a restaurant in Tampa. Cena comments on Nikki’s revealing outfit. Nikki talks about how happy she is to be spending time with John, and how busy he has been of late. With hosting The ESPY’S and everything else. John offers to spend more time with Nikki by designating certain days where they dedicate them to each other. Brings up potential Wednesday hump days.

We are at The Money in The Bank PPV in Las Vegas. This event took place last June. Paige is backstage flirting with her boyfriend Alberto Del Rio during his photo shoot. She then talks to Natalya. Natty tells Paige that she is “turning into a bad guy” tonight. That Mark Carrano informed her of a new direction for her character. Natalya says off camera that she wants to take this new role and run with it, but that she is nervous about it.
Clips are then shown of Natalya turning on Becky Lynch in their tag match against Dana Brooke and Charlotte. Renee, Lana and Paige are seated backstage watching the match. Natty’s attack on Becky in the post match is shown. The women backstage pop for Natty’s turn. The problem for Natalya is that the fans do so as well. Natalya off screen says that she is upset that she got cheered after the match. When that wasn’t her desired effect.

The Bellas are now in a car headed to Nappa Valley. Nicole off camera talks about their love for wine and thinks that they should get into the winemaking business. Back in the car, Brie attempts to school Nikki on the droughts in California and how they hurt the growth of grapes. Nikki goes to Google to settle the argument. She sort of wins the argument when she finds that the lack or rain is fruitful for wine producers. Bad for white grapes but not for red wine producers. Brie gets agitated with Nikki and spins the conversation into how the drought is not good for mankind.
The Bellas now check themselves into a Resort and Spa. Nikki and Brie end up drinking wine, kicking back and relaxing. Nikki talks about how she would love to slow down and live in this type of environment. She feels that John Cena would never able to live this kind of lifestyle. Nikki thinks that she would have to wait till John gets “super old”. By then, she says that she will spend all that time with her vibrator.
We are now at Monday Night Raw in Arizona. Renee Young is backstage with Natalya. Renee shows Natalya a long thread of comments online about her recent heel turn. The screen on Renee’s phone is blurred out but it looks like a Wrestling Inc message board to me. Renee says holy crap to all the comments about Natty’s turn. Summer Rae stops by and tells Natty that she’s not a real bad guy. That she is going to lose her job and have to sell her cats. Good one……. Natty tells Summer that she doesn’t have to talk to her and walks away. Summer chases Natty down and says that if she gets fired. She will buy her cats.
Paige is now shown off screen talking about her Raw match teaming with Sasha Banks against Charlotte and Dana Brooke. How excited she is to be back on TV again. Clips are then shown of the match. Paige lands poorly when she takes a double suplex from Charlotte and Dana. Paige talks about she felt a pop in her shoulder and that she is in a lot of pain right now. Paige calls it the most painful feeling of …
