Total Divas Island - Total Divas recap for November 16, 2016

Season 6 begins at WrestleMania 32, the grandest show of them all...or so we think. We flash back to a week earlier.

The women of WWE are in Dallas, Texas for WrestleMania 32. Brie is all alone, as Bryan is unable to due to his personal problems. Thankfully, the other women are there. Brie is having her retirement match, and while it is sad that she is leaving. We are also introduced to Lana, who speaks in her normal accent and not in her Russian for the show. We learn that she is engaged to Rusev, and that she will be the first female Superstar to have her debut match at WrestleMania. We then see Eva Marie, Trinity, and Lana in a rental car.

Nikki is talking to John Cena in the Range Rover. Nikki is still bummed out that she still can't wrestle and can't stand in the ring with Brie at WrestleMania 32, but she doesn't make it known to John.

Triple H and Stephanie McMahon announce to the Divas Division that they will no longer be called "Divas." As a result of the hard work that they have put in, from WrestleMania 32, they will be referred to as "Superstars" just like the men. Nattie likes this, as it shows that WWE is changing with the times. So does Trinity, who thinks that the "Divas" term was relegating them to being "eye candy."

Eva Marie and Lana are having sushi when Renee Young, Trinity and Nattie join in. Renee Young debuts in this season, and we learn that she is dating Dean Ambrose, who is the current WWE World Heavyweight Champion. Also joining in is Maryse, who is also introduced in this season. Maryse talks about how she is no longer friends with Brie and Nikki due to Brie blocking opportunities for her.



The Total Superstars have a meet-and-greet with the fans at WrestleMania Axxess.

Brie talks with her mother Kathy in Dallas. Brie says that Bryan is doing very well and has been happy for the first time in months. She then mentions that Maryse was talking about her earlier, and says she has more important things to deal with than middle school drama. She finds it hard to enjoy the week since Bryan and Nikki aren't here, but Kathy says she'll be here for the entire family.

At the hotel, Trinity gets her hair dyed by Paige as Lana and Jon Uso watch, thinking that this is not a good idea.

Lana and Trinity talk to two of the make-up artists about Naomi's new hair job. Trinity finds out she's going to have to get new hair, and all of the nearby salons and make-up artists are booked.

Lana gets her new wrestling gear from her wedding designer, who designed it, as Nattie visits her at the hotel. Lana has never wrestled before, and Nattie is worried about Lana. Lana has pre-match jitters when Nattie reminds her that when the WrestleMania match happens, she risks forgetting everything she's learned at the Performance Center.

Brie, Renee and Paige head to a restaurant. Maryse shows up, as Renee invited her to meet them earlier at the gym and wants Maryse and Brie to be friends again. Brie confronts Maryse about the things she said about her behind her back when she couldn't even get enough pull to get the Divas title three-and-a-half years ago. It becomes apparent that Brie doesn't think much of Maryse anymore, and neither does Bryan, according to Brie. Neither woman sees eye-to-eye even after Brie tells her she never blocked opportunities for her and wanted her to come back, and Maryse leaves angry. Brie is just happy to have this issue out of her life.

The day before WrestleMania, Nikki joins the Total Superstars at WrestleMania Axxess. Lana gets to meet fans along with the rest of the Total Superstars, and she gets a few fans who are excited to see her in her debut match.

Brie and Nikki talk at the hotel. Brie talks about her week so far, and Nikki reminds her that while it's not going like Brie would hoped, she could have it worse. She also says that ever since Bryan has been forced to retire, everyone has overshadowed what she is going through. Brie and Nikki end up arguing, and Nikki leaves the hotel room.



On the day of WrestleMania, Brie tells Nattie that she'll miss her, and Nikki gets a kiss from John Cena. Rusev tells Lana to be confident in herself before her wrestling debut, and Lana tries to keep it together even as Nattie tells her that they might not get another WrestleMania moment. Trinity manages to get her hair together by bringing her personal hair stylist in to the show last minute. The Women's Division get together for a picture, and Mark Carrano reminds them of the Divas match being cancelled at WrestleMania 29 before telling them that there are three women's matches. Brie feels honored to have worked with everyone in the women's division.



The ten-woman tag team match finally takes place. At match's end, Nikki Bella arrives to celebrate with Brie in what turns out to be Brie's last match. Nikki considers this a bittersweet moment, as this will probably be the last time she and Brie share a ring together. Brie looks back at the last ten years, and while she will still be around as an ambassador, she can't believe it was her last match. Everyone is proud of one another backstage. We then see Lita reveal the Women's Championship, which replaces the Divas Championship. Nikki wants to become the longest-reigning Women's Champion after seeing the belt, and has another reason to get back into the ring.
