Total Divas Island - Total Divas recap for January 17, 2018

Carmella and Cass head to a restaurant. Carmella mentions their move to Tampa, Florida.

Brie and Nikki drink some wine as they land in Napa Valley to see their Bellaridicci wine get bottled. Now that SummerSlam is done, Nikki cannot wait to focus on her business ventures.

At Raw in Brooklyn, New York, Carmella watches Cass' Street Fight against Enzo Amore. Suddenly, Cass lands awkwardly on his left leg when he tumbles out of the ring during the match. Carmella feels something is wrong, and her feeling is confirmed when Cass' left knee gives out.

Three days later, Cass finds out that his ACL has been torn, and that it will take as long as nine months to recover. Cass is devastated, as is Carmella.

At SmackDown Live, Lana talks to Natalya about her and Rusev's upcoming trip to Bulgaria for their one-year anniversary. Rusev talks about their hunt for a house in Bulgaria, as the price for a house is very affordable.

Brie, Nikki and Bryan head back to New York City to appear on E! Network. Nikki gets a call from her agent Blake, and Brie notices Nikki looking at her during the phone call. Nikki tells Brie that she may be booked for the next three months, as she has been offered a spot on Dancing With The Stars again. Brie tells Bryan, and Bryan congratulates her, but Nikki cleared their schedules so they can focus on their two businesses. It becomes clear that Nikki has a decision to make.

In Sofia, Bulgaria, Rusev and Lana are welcomed by Rusev's mother Slavka, and they are interviewed by local news media. Lana hopes Rusev will be more receptive when it comes to house hunting.

At Nattie's house, Nattie shares the WWE SmackDown Women's Championship with her parents. She feels there is more pressure on her than ever, as her father Jim "The Anvil" Neidhart was a tag team champion and her uncle Bret "The Hit Man" Hart was won every championship that there was at the time in WWE. (TJ is seen briefly near the end of this scene.)

Carmella has to do all the work with the help of two other people. Despite Cass' injury, Cass is still happy to be moving to Tampa, Florida and is confident everything will get done in a day.

In Sofia, Bulgaria, Lana and Rusev go looking for a new house. They find a very expansive house that is about 350 square meters with a big yard with a great view of the city. Lana loves it, but Rusev feels the yard is not big enough and that there is no way to keep any animals around. He is also concerned about the stairs in case they have children. Lana feels Rusev is being stubborn again.



In Tampa, Florida, Carmella and Cass move into their new home.



In New York City, New York, Brie and Bryan have a nice walk in the city. Brie feels a bit betrayed by Nikki for dropping business responsibilities for Dancing With The Stars and leaving her in full control of Birdiebee, but Bryan asks her to let Nikki do what she wants to do and to give herself some credit when it comes to running the businesses on her own.



In Sofia, Bulgaria, Rusev and Lana have breakfast with Rusev's family. Lana wants a mansion, but Rusev wants a house in the village. Lana learns that the responsibilities of a woman of the village are not all that cracked up to be, bt she is willing to do them, and makes a bet with Rusev if she can do them for three days, they are buying a mansion.



In Tampa, Florida, Carmella's sister Bree and her father Paul Van Dale come to visit. Cass reveals that he asked them to come to visit. Carmella loves her family, but she is overwhelmed with all that needs to be done. Paul Van Dale talks to Cass about how he used to wrestle in the WWE as an enhancement talent, and says Cass and Carmella being there has inspired him to try to come back to the WWE. Bree and Carmella see the conversation, but do not hear it, and Bree thinks Cass is asking their dad for his blessing in marriage.



In Sofia, Bulgaria, Lana and Rusev head to a farm in the village. She manages to herd the sheep into their pen and chop the wood with relative ease.

In Tampa, Florida, Natalya visits Carmella in her new home as Cass is at physical therapy. Natalya talks about the stress of being SmackDown Women's Champion, but Carmella tells her that WWE has faith in her and that she would not be champion if they did not. Carmella talks about what happened with the conversation with her sister as well as Cass' problems, as he is not happy and he is alone. Natalya says Carmella and Cass are just in a rough patch, aand that right now, they should live in the moment and enjoy what they have right now. Natalya feels she is giving the advice she should be giving herself.

In New York City, New York, Brie and Nikki head to Good Housekeeping for a review of Birdiebee and Bellaridicci. Nikki feels Brie has been acting weird since she was asked to appear on Dancing With The Stars, but she wants to prove that she can do what she needs to do for the business. Brie gives Nikki an "I'm sorry" gift for being angry with her for the Dancing With The Stars appearance, but she wants her to know she has her support. The gift is a pair of ballroom shoes. Brie tells Nikki to give it her all while she handles the businesses.

n Sofia, Bulgaria, Lana and Rusev head to a dairy farm for the final test: milking a cow. Lana has not milked a cow since she was a child, but she nails it. Rusev admits he has never milked a cow before even though he has told her in the past that he did it all the time. Lana says she is happy to win the bet - and win the mansion - but tells Rusev not to lie to her again.

Lana and Rusev take part in a traditional Bulgarian event that happens every fall, and Lana sees what village life means to Rusev. Lana and Rusev have a lot of fun, and Lana thanks Rusev for bringing her to Bulgaria. Lana wans the house in the village after all.

At SmackDown Live in Las Vegas, Nevada, Natalya defends the SmackDown Women's title against Naomi. Nattie enjoys her title reign, now that she knows that nobody can take the accomplishment of winning the title away from her.
