Total Divas Island - Total Divas recap for January 31, 2018

A bee accidentally keeps entering Mike and Maryse's vehicle.

Nikki Bella heads to Raw with Artem, who is her dancing partner on Dancing With The Stars. Nikki talks with Brie and Birdie, and Brie asks for her to help wedding plan on Sunday. Unfortunately, Nikki is busy with Dancing With The Stars and cannot make it. Nikki and Artem then announce to the live crowd that she will be on the next season of Dancing With The Stars, then Nikki puts Artem in a body slam.

At SmackDown Live, Natalya talks to Trinity about how Lana has gotten TJ to help train her. Natalya is concerned about TJ, as he is now a producer and has not been in the ring since his career-ending injury. He is afraid that TJ will be reminded of everything he has lost and will be set back emotionally.

In Cleveland, Ohio, Mike and Maryse head to Mike's parents' home to tell them personally that Maryse is pregnant. They meet Mike's dad George in town, and they then meet with Mike's mom Barbara at a restaurant to announce that Maryse is pregnant. Mike asks them to keep it a secret, then shows them the footage of the ultrasound. Mike admits that they have sold their house and have not even figured out where they are going to move, and Maryse is slightly worried, especially since she has yet to tell work about it.

Lana shows up at Nattie's house and meets Nattie's parents. Nattie feels uncomfortable about TJ training Lana, but TJ says he is willing to help the talent. As Lana talks with TJ, she finds out that TJ is very knowledgeable about wrestling and feels that he can be a good teacher. As TJ and Lana train, Nattie tells her parents that she does not feel comfortable with TJ training Lana, and wants her parents to lie to Lana for her.



In Cleveland, Ohio, Mike goes looking for a house to flip. He shows Maryse the house, and Mike says that the could be theirs. Mark Vittardi, Miz's friend and real estate agent, shows Mike and Maryse through the very spacious house. Maryse likes the house, but the house is in Cleveland, Ohio. She feels anxious, but Mike tells her that they cannot find anything in Las Vegas, Nevada or Los Angeles, California. Maryse tearfully tells Mike that she has a lot on her plate right now, and the house flipping is adding more to it and overwhelming her. Mike tells Maryse he did not mean to pressure her, and Maryse tells Mike they really need to work things out. Mike tells Maryse that he has his doubts some things as well, but they will work things out.



Brie, Nikki, Kathy and Birdie meet in Los Angeles, California for Nikki's Dancing With The Stars premiere. Brie and Kathy watch Nikki and Artem practice, and Brie is impressed with how graceful Nikki looks as they dance. Brie still awnts Nikki to plan for the wedding, but Nikki still does not have time.



Lana trains with TJ. Lana has heard from Nattie that TJ has some sort of rare adult chicken pox, but Lana feels that Nattie is lying to her. Lana brings this up to TJ, and TJ laughs about the whole thing, saying it is absurd.

TJ sees Nattie going through his things. TJ mentions the "rare adult chicken pox" that Nattie told Lana about. Nattie tells TJ she cares about him, and that she is afraid that TJ will feel he is missing out on something that he still wants to do and cannot do anymore. TJ tells Nattie that he is at peace with not being in the ring anymore, that Nattie may not have gotten over his career-ending injury and that she is being overprotective. Nattie apologizes to TJ.

At Eaw, Mike and Maryse meet with Talent Relations Vice President Mark Carrano and announce to him that Maryse is pregnant. They find out they have to talk to Vince McMahon and the creative team, and that Maryse will be kept outside of the ring while she is pregnant. Afterwards, Mike tells Maryse that he is just as confused about what to do, and says he cannot freak out as it would make things worse. He says that when she sees Maryse freak out, he wants to comfort her and assure her everything will be all right. Maryse is confident that everything will be figured out. Mike and Maryse then talk to Vince.

One week later on Raw, Mike, Maryse, Bo Dallas and Curtis Axel are on Miz TV. Maryse's pregnancy is made public for the first time. For once, Mike and Maryse are cheered, and Maryse's pregnancy is made part of a storyline.

At a live event in Little Rock, Arkansas, Lana talks with Nattie backstage. Nattie apologizes for not being up front with her, and Lana apologizes for coming across as intense. Nattie admits she admires her passion, and tells her that she is special to her. Nattie does not know if she and Lana will ever avoid drama, but she knows that while she and the rest of the women in WWE are not perfect, she would not trade it for anything in the world and she just wants to move forward.

In Los Angeles, California, Brie and Nikki head back to the hotel room where Brie has a surprise for Nikki. When they get to the hotel room, Brie shows Nikki a multitude of wedding dresses and jewelry for her wedding. Kathy and a few stylists show up to plan Nikki's wedding, and Nikki is happy that her family is willing to welcome John Cena into their family. Nikki admits that sometimes she gets so busy, she forgets about the special things. Nevertheless, she tries on a bunch of dresses.
