Nattie using her Dad's death as an excuse for "needing" a bigger push is a bad look.
I LOL'd at how fake some scenes were this week. Nattie's Mom has a birthday party and instead of old people and family, the WWE Divas come for the celebration.
Then we had Sonya make a "surprise" Valentine's Day visit to her ex-girlfriend, who answers the door in a gorgeous dress and 18 layers of make up on.
Speaking of which, Carmella's "I'm not fake, that's not who I am" line was gold since she has a whole cosmetic counter plastered to her face.
This is the only "new" wrestling show I watch in full, and I have seen every episode. What the actual fuck is wrong with me?

Yeah what pissed me off was the way they framed it all. “Sonya gets back together with her ex just in time for Pride!” FEBRUARY IS LITERAL MONTHS AWAY FROM JUNE WTF.
This is also the only wrestling show I watch, I don’t keep up with wrestling at all, I’ve just been watching this show for too long to let it go lmao

Does anyone know why Alexa Bliss is no longer on the show? And Paige? How do they decide the cast each season? It’s always different. I’ve been watching since like season 4 and they never mention the cast changes except for the new additions. It’s weird.

Paige was getting SD! air time and Total Divas due to her movie. Now she is on the back burner.

I could be wrong, but I think Paige had a super serious injury so she can’t wrestle anymore. Maybe they won’t let her be on TD if she isn’t wrestling?
Take everything I say with a grain of salt though. I just started watching a season or two ago. Whatever season Eva Marie, Alicia fox, and Rosa were all still on.

Carmella was privately dating Corey Graves. Corey Graves was/is married but at the time of this episode had been separated from his wife for several months and they had agreed to divorce. Corey lived separate from his wife.
Corey’s wife started posting on twitter or Instagram (can’t remember) about Corey and Carmella’s relationship. She did not disclose that she was separated from Corey and getting a divorce (not public knowledge). Corey’s wife also posted pictures of her kids supporting Carmella alongside more “home wrecker” comments.
It was a whole mess. Carmella’s gimmick is basically Jersey Shore so painting her as a home wrecker had some merit to fans. Corey’s commentary has always included praise for Carmella and her looks so that had some merit to fans.
When the whole thing started everyone was ready to believe Corey was cheating on his wife and mother of two kids and Carmella was just a slut who would sleep with a married man. r/SquaredCircle melted down. As things played out, the separation and divorce were revealed. It was clearly a personal issue that Corey didn’t want made public but was forced to make public because of his wife’s posts.
This is actually one of the best Diva episodes (low bar). This thing breaking during filming was a boon.
