Plot Synopsis

TOTAL DIVAS is a one-hour reality series that follows a group of World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE) Divas and Divas-in-Training, revealing their personal lives and documenting their in-ring performances. The series opened with a look inside WrestleMania, marking the first time that any television series was granted exclusive behind-the-scenes access to WWE. The Bella Twins (Nikki and Brie) returned after a year-long break and they battled their tag-team nemeses, The Funkadactyls (Naomi and Cameron). The Divas in Season 1 were: Nikki Bella, a tomboy with a feminine side, who has had a relationship with one of WWE's biggest names, which will be revealed in the debut episode; Brie Bella, a half-Italian/half-Mexican beauty, who has has found love in the arms of one of WWE's biggest names, Daniel Bryan; Naomi, a former dancer for the Orlando Magic, who recently went public with her relationship to WWE Superstar Jimmy Uso; Cameron, who is in a relationship with a man not in the WWE world, which presents a lot of obstacles of its own; and Natalya, a member of The Hart Dynasty, who is the daughter of Jim 'The Anvil' Neidhart and the niece of Bret 'The Hit Man' Hart. The two Divas-in-Training -- only one of whom will survive in the world of Divas -- were: Eva Marie, a rebellious spitfire, who makes her presence known to the male Superstars when she flirts relentlessly with fan favorite Fandago; and JoJo, who comes in a tiny package but has booming and harmonic voice which just adds another layer to her talents. Later, Eva Marie caused more drama amongst the Divas when she landed a spot in WWE's SummerSlam event. She pushed Nikki Bella too far when she fueled the rumor that she will become John Cena's (Nikki's boyfriend) personal valet. Later in the season, WWE Superstar Daniel Bryan proposed to a surprised Brie Bella.
