WWE Total Divas

Season 5 premieres with, RELATIONSHIP DRAMA! Dolph Ziggler with a huge heel turn and tries to propose to Nikki Bella while she is already in a relationship with John Cena. She tells Cena about it and is kinda apathetic towards the whole thing. If I were him, I would be furious and hunt down Dolph. So how is Ziggler still a employee in WWE?

Meanwhile, Paige has her own problems with her fiance Kevin because she doesn't feel ready and doesn't want to marry. Brie also is having some issues regarding husband Daniel Bryan. Bryan wants to wrestle while Brie wants him to retire so that they can start a family. You know, I can understand why WWE doesn't want to clear him, and to a small extent, keeping the continuity in this show is somewhat important. Overall, not a great episode, but there has been worse.

Honestly, the whole premise of Total Divas was to showcase WWE's women and have a look at their lives outside the ring. What we have is bad reality television drama that is Kardashian-lite To be honest, I probably should have seen this coming. There are still some redeeming qualities in the show which, depending on who you ask, is enough to make the show watchable.
