From the official trailer and the scenes they showed at the end of the premiere, we can tell that Total divas in its third season will be more dramatic than ever. Tons of tears, fights, secrets, couples and families' problems and backstage drama between the divas. It only gets worse with appearances of a diva that starred in the previous season and was hated by everybody : Summer Rae.
Nikki, Brie, Cena and Egg freezing:
The show started with a conversation between the Bella twins where Nikki told Brie that John Cena asked her if a marriage without kids would be enough for her? If you have looked the previous seasons of Total Divas, you would know that Nikki wants to get married and have kids but Cena doesn't. She told her sister that she would choose John over kids but Brie told her she should freeze her eggs just to feel reassured about her future.
Later in the episode, Nikki went to see her fertility doctor who asked her to choose the days where she wants to schedule the treatment. She decided to do it all behind John's back which turned out to be a little bit more difficult than she expected. Not only did the nurse come to take a blood sample with Cena around, but Nikki also had to take injections at home. The episode ended with Cena finding the syringes in the bathroom and asking her about them. This is not the first time Nikki hides something from John but we can't expect how his reaction would be this time.
Rosa Mendes is back!
We saw a returning Rosa Mendes introducing herself and saying hello to Natalya. Rosa came back to WWE after going through rehab. She seems very determined to prove that she's stronger and healthier than ever and that she deserves the second chance WWE gave her.
After that, senior director and responsible of talent relations Mark Carrano had a meeting with all the total divas and asked them to welcome Rosa back but they didn't seem very happy to see her. Brie said that she has a very bad reputation. When the divas left, he asked Nattie to help Rosa, be like a sister to her and share a room with her. Nattie complained at first then accepted the responsibility like the veteran diva she is.
Rosa had her first match in a year and a half against Natalya but she wasn't satisfied with her performance. She also heard the other divas laughing at her backstage which made her cry. Luckily for her, Nattie was there to comfort her.
Eva and Jonathan's traditional wedding:
For those of you who didn't look the previous seasons of Total divas, Eva Marie fell in love with Jonathan and they became engaged in the first season. Her conservative family didn't like it when they found out he proposed without asking for their blessing. They were so mad again when Eva's love for Jonathan made her take the decision to marry him in secret. They didn't talk to her again until she got really sick and found out she might not be able to have kids in the future.
In last night's episode, Eva and her husband announced they're having a wedding, which made Eva's parents and brothers very happy. Her dad said he wants to walk his daughter down the isle in a traditional wedding. The couple also showed them their engagement photo-shoot which they didn't like so much and made comments like "they belong in the bedroom" and "I can't show these to my grandchildren".
It seems like Eva Marie and Jonathan like to drop bombs every time they go to visit the family. This time, it turned out that Jonathan is not catholic like them so they can't have the traditional catholic wedding Eva's dad wants. They asked him to convert but he obviously didn't want to change his religion.
Eva is torn between her love for her husband and her desire to make her dad happy. Her dad is a cancer survivor who might be sick again and she said that she doesn't know "how much time she has left with him". So she told him they’d be having the wedding he wants hoping to find a way to convince Jonathan later.
The premiere was good and it leaves us excited for more. How will John Cena react to Nikki's decision to freeze her eggs without telling him? Will Rosa Mendes be able to prove herself and show everybody she deserves the second chance? Will Eva Marie be able to convince Jonathan to convert or will she have to disappoint her dad again?
To find out the answers, tune in next Sunday for another episode of Total Divas at 9/8c on E!
