Total Divas Island - Total Divas recap for February 22, 2015

Eva Marie and Jonathan are in Las Vegas for Eva's family vacation - the first in 23 years. She is excited to see her extended family for the first time in a long time. Despite the awesome hotel and view, Eva Marie wants to treasure any time that the whole family can spend with her dad.

At Raw, Nikki tells Brie that she has found out two of her famous designers are collaborating to create a $15,000 handbag that will be made in very small quantities. Brie thinks that Nikki has a spending problem, but Nikki says it's her life and her money.

Eva Marie talks with her mom. Eva thinks that her dad is up to something since her family doesn't tell her much about what's going on with them. Eva's mom assures her she'll be the first to know if his health takes a turn for the worse.



Nattie talks with her mom on the phone. Her dad is doing better since going to rehab. As for TJ, Nattie feels she has to keep him at arm's length.

Eva Marie's family has a party. Eva Marie has an idea to make the party super memorable.

Nattie heads to her mother's house...and finds out that the house has suffered from a pretty bad flood. She calls TJ, who says he'll look into a few things and get back with her.



Nattie and her mom clean up the house when TJ shows up. TJ gets right to work, calling somebody up who can help with the flood damage.

Brie and Nikki are at home. Nikki shows Brie three brand new dress, and Brie thinks that Nikki is not being smart with her money and should sit down with a financial advisor. Nikki asks Brie if she's planned the next five to ten years of her life, and Brie reluctantly decides to see one with her.

Eva Marie talks with her siblings. She thinks they should try to do some sort of bucket list for her dad, as she's afraid this vacation might be her dad's last. After some persuasion, they get an itinerary together.

Brie talks with her mom. Mom tells her that Brie and Nikki are completely different, and they just spend their money differently. Brie thinks her mom is defending Nikki, even though she says she's comparing both sisters' passions.

TJ's friend Art shows up to renovate the house...and the house revamp begins.

Eva Marie and the family take on an eight-pound burger challenge that Jonathan wanted to go to. The burger is bigger than anyone can even handle.

John Cena has a big box of mail for Nikki that is addressed to him. It's the bag that she wanted. It turns out that John Cena got it for her, so she doesn't have to pay a cent.

Eva Marie is ready to do more stuff, but everyone else is pretty tired. She announces that she's pre-paid for some skydiving, and everyone is waking up at 7 AM to go do it.

Nikki shows up at a show with the bag and a whole bunch of other new stuff. Brie is shocked, and tells Nikki she could have paid a down payment on a new house with all the money it could have cost to get all of it.

Nattie checks on the house. Things are moving along smoothly with the renovation.

Eva Marie's family goes skydiving. Eva Marie's dad doesn't seem up to it. As he walks away, as does everyone else, the cat is let out of the bucket and Eva Marie's plans are revealed. Eva's dad says he's not worried about a bucket list and talk about him having "one foot in the grave," and he plans to be around for a long time and have plenty more vacations with the family.



Eva Marie talks with her siblings later that night. One of her brothers said the stuff she planned "was off the chain, but it wasn't off Dad's chain." Eva Marie talks to her dad so she can make amends with him, and her dad says that he's been in great shape as of late, especially since Mom is making sure he does what he's supposed to, and that he's not kicking the bucket just yet. Her siblings show up, and Dad says that he really appreciated the effort.

Nattie calls TJ. TJ says he doesn't have to spend a lot of money to replace all the furniture in her parents' house, but he wants to. Nattie appreciates the fact that TJ is making an honest effort in making everything better.

Brie and Nikki meet a financial advisor. Nikki has a back-up plan as a real estate agent after she's done with WWE. Brie, on the other hand, is the one without the back-up plan...and now she looks like the one who isn't smart with her money.



On the car trip home, Nikki says she has plans to buy stock in wine. Brie is down with a plan to invest in a wine bar. They both think about running some businesses on the side in case they leave WWE.

Trinity and Nattie check out some furniture. Nattie says that every problem she's had with her dad will repeat with TJ, as her dad was high-maintenance and gone all the time while she was young. Trinity tells Nattie that she can't punish TJ for stuff he hasn't done yet, and that TJ is really being helpful at a critical juncture right now despite all that the both of them are going through.

Eva Marie's family heads to the racetrack to drive some race cars, which is something that Eva's dad has always wanted to do. The family is happy and everyone is together, something that Eva said is something that her dad always wanted.

Nattie and TJ head back to Nattie's parents house, which looks more or less like a brand new house. Nattie's mom breaks down and is so happy that her house is livable again. Nattie realizes that just like her parents' house, her marriage with TJ is worth salvaging, especially since TJ deserves a lot of the credit for taking the time to make sure the renovation went smoothly and that Nattie's mom didn't have to be out of her house for a long time.



Bonus clip: Daniel Bryan comments on Nikki's spending habits.



Bonus clip: Eva Marie and her family visit the Neon Museum.

Triple H shows up, dressed in a leather jacket and jeans. He apologizes to Ric Flair for pushing him on Raw, but stands by what he said that night. He is here as Triple H, not as the COO. Sting shows up. Triple H reminds him that it's guys like him that put WCW out of business, and then offers him an alliance where they can do business as usual and make him bigger than he's ever been. Triple H then tries to cheap shot Sting, and Sting fights back...but Triple H gets the upper hand. He goes for the sledgehammer, but Sting gets up and pulls out the bat, cornering Triple H and forcing him to drop the sledgehammer.

Undertaker has returned for the first time since his loss to Brock Lesnar at WrestleMania 30...or so we think. It's Bray that's in the casket. He says that he no longer fears death, pain or suffering...and plans to claim the soul of The Undertaker.

Rusev retains the WWE United States Championship against John Cena when Lana distracts the ref, allowing Rusev to kick John Cena with a low blow and making it possible to choke Cena unconscious with the Accolade. Cena is somehow able to walk out of the ring under his own power after the match.

Roman Reigns beats Daniel Bryan to go on to face Brock Lesnar for the WWE World Heavyweight Championship at WrestleMania 31. After the match, D-Bry tells Reigns "Listen...you'd better...you'd better...kick his ass." Both men then shake hands and D-Bry leaves.

Jimmy Uso vs. Tyson Kidd ends with Rusev rushing in and destroying everyone in sight.



Seth Rollins beats Dolph Ziggler. After the match, J&J Security (Joey Mercury and Jamie Noble), who were banned from ringside for this match, show up to celebrate with Rollins as well as Kane and Big Show, who showed up during the commercial break, as did Ryback and Erick Rowan. After the match, Seth Rollins and his allies attack Ziggler, Rowan and Ryback, and easily stand tall due to their numbers advantage.

My predictions for WWE FastLane

Rusev (c) vs. John Cena
for the WWE United States Championship

This feud all started when Rusev interrupted John Cena after Royal Rumble in the most inconsiderate of ways. Since then, it's been pretty tense, and Rusev may have bitten off more than he can chew...

My prediction: Why do I have the feeling Cena will win this one?

Nikki Bella (c) vs. Paige
for the WWE Divas Championship

Paige is the next Diva to get a title shot at Nikki Bella's Divas title. Can Paige take the title and rule the Divas Division for a third time?

My prediction: Expecting Nikki to retain...somehow...but never say never.

Roman Reigns vs. Daniel Bryan

The winner of this match will face Brock Lesnar for the WWE World Heavyweight Championship at WrestleMania 31.

With Roman Reigns' Royal Rumble match victory nitpicked due to Rusev never being eliminated and The Rock showing up to affect the result, The Authority has now hounded him at every turn. Daniel Bryan, fresh from a return from injury, tried to win the Royal Rumble but was eliminated early. The next live Raw after Royal Rumble, Seth Rollins and Daniel Bryan fought for #1 contendership for the WWE World Heavyweight Championship as per The Authority. Daniel Bryan won it, ironically due to the interference of Roman Reigns. Now these two collide to fight for it!

My prediction: Hoping Daniel Bryan gets the title shot.

Dean Ambrose vs. Bad News Barrett (c)
for the WWE Intercontinental Championship

Dean Ambrose has been itching for a shot at the WWE Intercontinental Championship after beating Bad News Barrett in a non-title match, and after getting Barrett to sign a contract (read: forcing), he finally gets to be able to fight for just that!

My prediction: Dean Ambrose will take the title.

Goldust vs. Stardust

Well, it was bound to happen, wasn't it? You wanted The Dust Brothers to fight each other? Well, you finally got it after Stardust decided to go turncoat.

My prediction: Stardust will win this one somehow.

The Usos (Jimmy and Jey Uso) (c)
vs. Tyson Kidd and Cesaro
for the WWE Tag Team Championships

What started out as a series matches turned into a double date for both Natalya and Naomi that got ruined in the worst way possible. Now the tag team titles are on the line...

My prediction: The Usos will probably retain.

Ryback, Dolph Ziggler and Erick Rowan
vs.
Seth Rollins, Kane and Big Show

Now that they've been re-hired, Ryback, Ziggler and Rowan have since went after The Authority to take them down once and for all. Not surpisingly, it also led to this six-man tag match.

My prediction: Predicting that Ryback, Ziggler and Rowan will win.

Generation NXT - NXT recap for February 18, 2015

William Regal starts the show by telling Kevin Owens that he doesn't make the rules simply because he's NXT Champion, and puts him in a non-title match against Adrian Neville, saying Neville deserves a re-match against a man who sent him to the hospital.

Kevin Owens shows up to a mixed chant of "Ole" and "Fight Owens Fight." He says that anyone with an issue over how he won the NXT title has no right to complain, as he has never lied or pretended to be somebody he's not. He pledged to fight anyone and everyone, and he did. He then says he's looking forward to fighting Finn Balor, telling him to go to William Regal and pick a date, saying he'll be there to destory him like he did Sami Zayn.

The mystery woman is backstage...

Dario Cueto tells Cortez Castro, Mr. Cisco and Bael that they have impressed him, especially with their attack on Big Ryck. Cueto gives them a main event spot, but tells them they'll have to prove themselves to stay at main event status. Cueto pits them against Sexy Star, Pimpinella Escarlata and Mascarita Sagrada, whom he deems "three underdogs who should have never survived his temple," in a no-disqualification match, and orders them to hurt them so badly that they never return to Lucha Underground.

Ivelisse is in the ring with Son of Havoc. Ivelisse is displeased with Havoc's losses as of late, however, and decides to rectify this by calling out Angelico himself so that he fights his rematch for him, telling Angelico he's facing "the baddest bitch in this building."

Ivelisse beats a reluctant Angelico (who doesn't want to fight her) thanks to assistance from Son of Havoc. Ivelisse doesn't want to acknowledge it, however. Angelico takes the match and tells Ivelisse that if she wants to go one-on-one without her boyfriend, it'll be his pleasure.

Before the next match, we see El Vampiro's interview with Texano, He insists that Alberto El Patron stole the AAA World Heavyweight Championship from him, and says that he is here to reclaim the world title.

Texano quickly beats Super Fly. After the match, Alberto El Patron shows up and brawls with Texano and attacks him with his own bullrope until officials have to separate Alberto from Texano. Alberto causes the officials to scatter with the bullwhip, causing Texano to get out of dodge.



Cage shows up in Dario Cueto's office, demanding he be declared Lucha Underground Champion. Cueto puts him in another non-title match with Prince Puma next week, and if he wins, he's #1 contender. Chavo Guerrero shows up right after this, saying that Mexico has gotten what they wanted, and that he's out of here. Cueto tells him that he wishes him the best of luck in his future endeavors, and that the doors to his temple are always open.

The mystery woman finds what she's looking for...but is soon abducted.

Sexy Star, Pimpinella Escarlata and Mascarita Sagrada beat The Crew (Mr. Cisco, Cortez Castro, Bael), after The Crew is distracted by Big Ryck, who shows up wearing an eyepatch over his right eye.

He also says that this match will be not a fun, happy match and will instead be a match of reckless abandon where he has to fight for respect and fight to win. Suddenly, Lana and Rusev show up.

Not long after this, Cena runs up the ramp and lays Rusev out, giving him the same treatment that Rusev gave Cena last week.

Paige, wearing the clothes of the Rosebud that she dragged into the locker room, beats Summer Rae with the PTO. After the match, The Bella Twins (Brie and Nikki Bella) appear, but Paige says she doesn't need to make herself look good...but she would look good with the WWE Divas Championship around her waist.



Before his match, Seth Rollins bad-mouths President's Day and even goes so far as to say he could do anything he wants to in the future, including running for United States President and making The Daily Show watchable after Jon Stewart leaves the show. He is about to bad-mouth Dolph Ziggler when Ziggler shows up and makes fun of him.



Dolph Ziggler beats Seth Rollins by disqualification when J&J Security (Joey Mercury and Jamie Noble) rush in and interfere after being sent back to the back after the commercial break. Ryback and Erick Rowan show up to even the odds when Ziggler is under attack.

The kick-off for FastLane is Miz TV with special guest Paul Heyman.

Triple H shows up. He is about to respond to Sting accepting his face-to-face confrontation when Ric Flair shows up. Flair tells him not to take Sting lightly, and not to put himself in a position to fail. Triple H says he doesn't need the history lesson, as he knows Sting well. He says Sting did the smart thing when he disappeared, and thinks Sting has now set out to destroy what he's built. Ric Flair tries to be the voice of reason, but some harsh words are thrown around and Triple H pushes Ric Flair to the ground before telling him he'll destroy anyone who gets in his way and promises to make sure Sting never shows his face in WWE again.



The Ascension (Konnor and Viktor) attack Darren Young and his unnamed tag team partner (who is played by independent wrestler Kevin Kross, who will be in WWE as Karrion Kross almost five years later) before their match can begin. Titus O'Neil shows up and makes the save, marking the first time Young and O'Neil have been on the same side since they unamicably broke up.



The Miz asks Bad News Barrett to humble Damien Mizdow, and he'll keep an eye out for Dean Ambrose for him in return.

Bad News Barrett beats Damien Mizdow, again due to Miz's constant interruptions. After the match, Dean Ambrose rushes in and attacks Barrett, zipties his hands to a post and forces him to sign the contract for an Intercontinental title match.



Bray Wyatt hammers a nail into what seems to be a wooden casket.

Here are the highlights for tonight's show!

Total Divas Island - Total Divas recap for February 15, 2015

Alicia Fox hides under a table and scares some people.

Nattie's mom and dad come to visit. Nattie's dad is the infamous Jim "The Anvil" Neidhart of the Hart Foundation. In recent times, he has been dealing with drug addiction, and according to Nattie, he isn't quite all there.

Mark meets with some of the Divas. They're all set for the European tour. After Mark leaves, Brie Mode is mentioned, and Paige want to see it during the overseas tour. Brie is down for it, but Nikki is not.

The European tour is in full swing. Alicia Fox is not exactly happy with the fact that Wade "Bad News" Barrett is on the tour, as they used to date until he broke up with her. She still can't stand being near him because of it as it makes her feel physically ill.

Nattie is trying to petition the court to get her dad the help that he needs, as her dad doesn't believe there's anything wrong with him. She finds out she has to go to court next week as her dad doesn't believe he has a problem. She talks to Brie about it, and they both agree she'll have to confront her dad about his drug addiction problem at some point.

Rosa Mendes and Alicia Fox are off tour, and they're heading on a trip to Las Vegas together.

Brie and Nikki are at the MTV European Music Awards. They co-host a segment with David Hasselhoff.



Rosa Mendes and Alicia Fox talk about Wade Barrett. Rosa tells Alicia she'll have to face Wade at some point, but Alicia doesn't want to listen to her and takes her anger out on Rosa.



Brie, Nikki and Paige have some drinks during the tour. Nikki heads out early, and tasks Paige with watching Brie, telling her not to let her leave the hotel. After Nikki leaves, they both get a few more shots...and some more...and some more. Paige is going for Brie Mode...and she gets it.

Brie and Paige head to another bar. They both listen to Brie's entrance theme on the way there, and Brie and Paige take some more shots with worms in them. Brie Mode eventually goes into full effect. They then call Nikki on the way back to the hotel. Nikki picks up and finds out she's drunk.

Meanwhile, at Las Vegas, Alicia and Rosa Mendes are at Rosa's house. Alicia has had some time to think and apologizes to Rosa, and tells her that Wade really broke her heart.

Nikki checks on Brie back at the hotel. They both agreed that they would work out at the gym before Raw and knocks on the door. She calls Paige, who says she left Brie at the elevator. Nikki gets hotel staff to open the door to her room, and as she tries to get her to wake up, Brie pukes on her and then pukes in the toilet. Nikki is disgusted with her.



Alicia Fox joins the rest of the Divas on the European tour. She, Ariane and Nattie take a Beatles-related tour. Nattie uses the tour to relax after dealing with her dad. Alicia mentions that she still feels stung by Wade Barrett breaking up with her, and Nattie thinks that she may still have feelings for him.

Paige and Brie - who is now sober - talk what happened after last night. Nikki is still worried about Brie, as she may not be at her best come their match on Raw. Thankfully, Brie makes it through the match.

Brie, Nikki and Alicia meet for dinner. Nattie shows up right after them, but she is crying because her dad went to the emergency room and nearly died.

Nattie has a meet-and-greet. Once again, she doesn't have to worry about her problems...for a little while.

Later, Nattie talks to TJ about what's going on with her dad, and asks TJ to try to reach him as he is close to him she can't do it by herself. TJ looks past their differences and agrees to help out.

Paige and Alicia Fox are at catering. One of the Bellas meets up with Wade, who is nearby. Alicia Fox knows she has to talk to Wade, but she doesn't have a strategy and the thought of talking to him still makes him sick to his stomach. After Alicia gets it out of her system, Paige eventually leaves Alicia alone with Wade, and she finally asks Wade why he broke up with him. Thankfully, Wade is willing to talk it out and make the post-break-up easier. He tells her she didn't see himself the rest of his life with her, and he didn't want to waste both his time and hers. Them talking it out makes it easier for both people, especially Alicia.



TJ is at Nattie's place. Nattie's dad shows up, and Nattie feels like she's making a very difficult decision, even though she knows it's for the best. Nattie has called Dan Spivey, who now works as a drug counselor and runs a sobriety center. Spivey shows up and somehow manages to get Nattie's dad to head someplace where he can get clean.



...and here's After Total Divas!

Al Snow shows up, and he has a beef against Grado from British Boot Camp 2. He calls out Grado and gives him one last chance to quit before he kicks his ass next week. Grado shows up, and Snow says he has no respect for Grado because Grado has no respect for him or for wrestling in general. Grado takes the mike and makes it clear he's having none of this. Snow takes the mike back out of his hands and decides to involve Grado's parents in this. His parents are in the front row, and Snow tells them to tell Grado to quit while he has a chance. Grado's mom slaps Snow, and Grado attacks Snow from behind. Snow retreats, and tells Grado that the match is on for next week.



While fighting against Crazzy Steve, Bram grabs the mic and calls out Magnus. Bram still ends up winning the match.

Gunner hopes to win next week's Gauntlet match and win the World title...and is then attacked by Kenny King and Low Ki.

As Madison Rayne brags about her accomplishments, she is continuously intterupted by Awesome Kong's music.

Awesome Kong quickly beats Madison Rayne.



Austin Aries and Kurt Angle chat backstage. Aries hopes to become World champ again, and has the Feast or Fired briefcase that will help fast track his way back to it.

Matt Hardy shows up. He says that last week was the first time that he had ever seen a broken Jeff Hardy. The Revolution ("The Cowboy" James Storm, Abyss, The Great Sanada, Manik, Khoya) shows up, and Storm displays malicious glee and satisfaction at cutting down Jeff Hardy. He then gives Matt Hardy two options: join The Revolution, or have a hospital bed next to his brother's. Matt chooses the hospital bed, and the Revolution uses the numbers game to their advantage. Before Storm can finish him off with the bullrope, however, The Wolves (Eddie Edwards and Davey Richards) show up and blow The Revolution away to make the save for Matt Hardy.



Austin Aries isn't telling when he's going to cash in his Feast or Fired briefcase. He also meets up with Kenny King. He fights him off, but Low Ki and MVP join in and outnumber him.

Alberto El Patron shows up with the AAA World Heavyweight Championship to much fanfare.

Raw Deal - Raw recap for February 9, 2015

Roman Reigns appears to start the show. Last week, Roman Reigns kept Seth Rollins out of Fastlane. Suddenly, Daniel Bryan, the man he helped win, shows up. He thanks Reigns for last week for the opportunity, but says Reigns has an opportunity of his own at Fastlane, where the winner takes on Brock Lesnar for the WWE World Heavyweight Championship at WrestleMania 31. As Daniel Bryan compares himself with Roman Reigns, The Authority (Triple H, Stephanie McMahon, Kane, Big Show) shows up. Triple H wants an answer on whether or not Sting will show up at Fastlane. As for Stephanie, she takes revenge on Roman for Spearing Big Show last week and D-Bry for beating Kane in a Casket Match (in which Daniel Bryan fires back by making a reference to Triple H and the Katie Vick incident) by putting them in a tag team match against Big Show and Kane...and that match is right now.

Roman Reigns and Daniel Bryan beat Kane and Big Show by disqualification. Roman Reigns and Daniel Bryan fight back after the match, but Kane tricks Daniel Bryan into hitting Roman Reigns with the running drop kick. This causes Reigns and D-Bry to argue amongst each other, which plays straight into Triple H's hands. Triple H then puts Roman and D-Bry together in a handicap match later tonight. Their opponents? Big Show, Kane, J&J Security (Joey Mercury and Jamie Noble) and Seth Rollins.



Ryback vs. Seth Rollins ends with J&J Security (Joey Mercury and Jamie Noble) getting involved at the behest of Rollins. Rollins finishes the job with a Curb Stomp.



Sheamus is returning...



Paige beats Brie Bella.



Rusev and Lana are in the ring. They are honored to face John Cena at Fastlane, and respect his accomplishment. Just like the Grammys honor a musician's career, they honor Cena's career with a video package...which also shows Cena getting his butt kicked. Rusev and Lana say that Cena is an old man after so many years in the ring, and Rusev states that he will crush Cena at Fastlane and break his spirit. Cena shows up, tells them they're full of themselves and full of crap, and tells them he's got a lot left in the tank, and that "this old man" is going to whip Rusev's ass. Lana has to hold Rusev back. After one more verbal exchange, Rusev and Cena brawl on the ramp, which ends with Rusev poking Cena in his bad eye and putting a hurting on him.

Total Divas Island - Total Divas recap for February 8, 2015

John Cena joins Nikki for a workout in a singlet and an American flag mask similar to The Patriot's.

As Brie and Nikki have their match at Hell in a Cell, Nattie and Paige watch backstage, and the crowd really gets into it.

Paige, Rosa Mendes and Alicia Fox are backstage when TJ's entrance music hits. TJ is finally back on the road, but everyone chants "Nattie's husband" and it becomes a struggle when their personal lives aren't exactly perfect. Not surprisingly, TJ wants to keep it strictly professional.

Alicia Fox admits that she and Ariane don't exactly see eye to eye, and Ariane has this feeling there is a weird hostility between them. Ariane wants to know what's going on, but Ariane just gives the cold shoulder. Rosa Mendes has set up a trip, but Paige can't go because she's about to go on tour to Malaysia. They decide to replace Paige with Alicia in order to get to the bottom of it.



Nattie talks to Trinity about her troubles with TJ as well as at home...which is going to be fumigated for termites. Trinity opens her house for Nattie, whose original plan is to head to a hotel.



Brie and Nikki are at an organic food store when they see a horse mask. Nikki takes a picture of Brie with the horse mask, then they look at organic tampons and condoms. Brie mentions that she doesn't use condoms and that she uses the pull-out method with Bryan, since she doesn't want to put chemicals in her body. Nikki becomes worried that this might impact the career of the Bella Twins.

Rosa Mendes and Alicia Fox try out some swimsuits, then Rosa asks Alicia why she can't stand Ariane. Alicia thinks Ariane is annoying, but Rosa doesn't think that will happen on the trip.

John Cena and Nikki hang out by the pool at home, then mentions that Brie and Bryan don't use any form of birth control and says she's afraid that the large amount of time and money being invested in her and Brie. John admits Nikki has a good point, but says that in the end, it's Brie's life and Brie's body. This isn't exactly the answer Nikki is looking for.

Ariane and Vinnie meet up with Alicia Fox and Rosa Mendes. Rosa also tries to twerk.

Alicia Fox, Rosa Mendes, Ariane and Vinnie head to the club.

Jon Uso and Trinity head to Nattie's house to pick her up. Nattie realizes she left something in the house, and heads back into the house, which is covered up and pumped full of chemicals to get a bowl that one of the cats has been known to sit in. Nattie tells Jon and Trinity that she wishes that everyone would stop prying into her personal life as the cats shed and cat hair gets everywhere inside the car.

Brie and Bryan are setting up a garden, and Brie mentions the conversation she had with Nikki in the organic grocery store. Bryan reminds Brie that it was still "Bella Twins" whenever one of them had to go solo, and that he would be up with having a baby anytime.

Alicia Fox, Rosa Mendes and Ariane head out of the hotel. Tempers are about to flare between Alicia and Ariane as Alicia drives, and Rosa knows it.

Alicia Fox, Rosa Mendes and Ariane go for a canyon park walk. Ariane talks about her decision to head back to NXT to get better, but this causes tempers to flare between her and Alicia even more.



Brie, Nikki and Bryan have a family dinner. Nikki tries to put an end to the unprotected between Bryan and Brie. Brie sees the parallels between Nikki getting into her and Bryan's sex life and Brie herself getting into Nikki's love life. Nikki thinks that Brie is thinking only about herself when she says she wouldn't mind having a baby right now, which is the same thing that Brie and Bryan are thinking about Nikki as they feel she only cares about earning a whole bunch of money.



Nattie is at Jon Uso and Trinity's house. Nattie checks out their wedding photos, which have arrived today. Nattie tells them that she had no idea that marriage would tear them apart, and the photos make her sad as they remind her of what she and TJ had, but Nattie doesn't want to burden everyone with her problems.



Alicia Fox, Rosa Mendes and Ariane relax by the pool. Ariane tries not to worry about Alicia Fox, but when Ariane is told by a passer-by that she could pass for Halle Berry, she and Alicia start pushing jabs at each other. Ariane walks away from Alicia and Rosa before she can make a scene.

Rosa Mendes convinces Ariane to talk with Alicia Fox like adults. Alicia Fox tells Ariane she doesn't come off as the nicest person on the block and somewhat arrogant. Ariane apologizes, but tells Alicia it feels like the opposite ever since she first got on the road. Alicia admits she views her as her newer, younger replacement. Ariane is surprised, as she never intended to be that. It doesn't take long for the two of them to work it out.

Nattie offers to head out, feeling she is inconveniencing both her and Jon Uso since Jon is frustrated with the cats. Trinity tells Nattie to stop throwing herself a pity party and straighten stuff out.

Nikki heads to a meeting with Mark Carrano, knowing that Brie won't change for her. Mark says that both Bella together is what sells, but in case a repackaging is necessary in case one of the Bellas is out, the company can still move forward with the other.

Bonus clip: Nattie thanks Jon Uso and Trinity for the hospitality.
