Total Divas ep. 612: Lady and the entrance ramp
Previously on this show...
The Draft happened, either solidifying relationships or maliciously destroying them because The Draft is a fickle bastard. Paige broke up with Alberto Del Rio and ran away with Alicia Fox, I think. It’s been a long week, let’s not waste any more time…
Maryse wants to get her picture taken for The Miz for him when he gets back from shooting The Marine 17: Th Reshoot-ening. Maryse believes the one thing a guy wants is pictures of his wife who is on tv all the time, getting pictures taken of her everywhere she goes, and then keeping extra pictures of them in the house they both live in, where she probably keeps her modelling career photos.
Since this is “sexy,” and not “wrestling,” Eva Marie gets involved and they poll the backstage crew to see what THEY would like to come home to after being away filming movies. They all say booze and food, and I’m sure Maryse will take that information to heart, probably by getting pictures taken of her with food and booze,
But this episode is all about Naomi and...wait, no, a Bella needs TV time.
If you remember from Total Bellas, Daniel Bryan had to quit wrestling and his wife Brie Bella retired to stay home and have babies with him. But now Bryan is back on wrestling TV managing Smackdown Live, so Brie just stays at home, I guess?
Since she probably actually loves her husband, she goes on not-wrestling TV to see him. I’m glad this was captured on camera or I’m not sure I would have believed it.
Back to Naomi...
Human Dementor, Mark Carrano, tells a visibly excited Naomi that yeah, she’ll get a cool, glowy entrance, just not now, and creative might “tweak” it.
HOLD IT. Brie needs water, and she doesn’t feel comfortable getting it in the gigantic building they are currently filming a tv show in. So then Bryan jumps rope for her in the arena and she gets so hot for him that she has to go back to her hotel room.
Or she was grossed out by it and had to leave, I couldn’t tell. Brie’s been off TV for a week so her acting skills may be a bit rusty, but this scene was pivotal.
UPDATE: Eva Marie spent 2 days trying to come up with a “concept” for her and Maryse’s sexy photo shoot. She lands on “Baywatch” because she’s “never done anything like that.” I find it incredibly hard to believe that a) Eva has never had her picture taken whilst wearing a bikini, and b) she came up with Baywatch by herself.
At best she heard about it recently because The Rock is starring in the reboot this summer. More likely a producer told her about it, then had to explain who The Rock was. Maryse loves the idea.
