Total Bellas Island - Total Bellas recap for April 30, 2020

At Artem's house, Brie tries to figure out what to wear for the premiere of SmackDown on Fox when Artem shows up wearing Nikki's ring gear. Nikki settles on a blue outfit, but admits she would do anything to be in a wrestling match.

Brie, Nikki and Artem are at a restaurant. Nikki makes fun of Brie for not making out with Bryan in public, and Brie feels that she wishes she and Bryan could be like that right now.

In Phoenix, Arizona, Nikki and Artem go see the doctor for a check-up on Nikki's neck. Nikki wishes she had a way to participate in the action from ringside, and she really wants to know what her WWE future is.

Nikki and Artem meet with the doctor. The doctor advises that Nikki stay from even doing anything at ringside due to the high risk of paralysis from a shot to the neck.



At Artem's house, Nattie has come to visit, and is a guest on the Bellas' podcast. Brie tells Nattie that Nikki will not be at the SmackDown premiere due to her doctor's advice. Nattie says this reminds her of TJ avoiding the ring because it reminded him of what he couldn't do until he became a producer for WWE. On the podcast, Nattie says that she would love to do some behind-the-scenes things when her in-ring career is over, and Nikki feels like she is in the right place to go to the SmackDown premiere.

Nikki tries to help Artem envision what to do after being cut from Dancing With The Stars, and look through magazines at a magazine stands in order to kickstart some ideas in the form of a "vision board." Artem admits that Nikki has a way of steering him in a direction, and that it comes from a good place. Nikki doesn't want to see Artem jobless forever.

Brie and Nikki take part in a photo shoot for Health Magazine. Brie feels that she is very busy and that she must work while the momentum is going, even if that means being away from her family for a while.

At Artem's house, Nikki is making a vision board for Artem when Brie shows up with food. Brie feels that the vision board is more for Nikki than for Artem and is more of a vision of what Nikki wants Artem to be. Nikki admits she feels bad, but she feels this will help Artem. Brie reminds Nikki that not many people can handle all the chaos that they put themselves through when it comes to business opportunities. Nikki admits that she doesn't know exactly what Artem wants.

Brie and Bryan spend time with Birdie at Woodbridge Park in Los Angeles. Brie asks Bryan how they can show more public displays of attention. Brie wishes they could be more like a married couple instead of joking about or ignoring the lack of affection they show each other, and even Bryan wishes they could do more and balance being a married couple and running business projects.

At Artem's House, Nikki presents the vision board to Artem. It becomes apparent from everyone else that the vision board was not exactly the great idea that Nikki thought it was, and that Artem has a different way of approaching how to take care of what he needs to take care of.



Brie and Nikki go shopping for clothes for Birdie. Brie says that Birdie has been having trouble sleeping, and everyone is so miserable they wish they could leave early. Nikki proposes that Bryan take Birdie home while Brie stays, but Brie admits she set everything up so she and Bryan could spend time together. Brie admits that they are disconnected and drifting away from each other in their relationship.

Brie, Bryan and Artem go to a party for the opening of their friend Kristen's design store. Nikki tells Brie that she got a call to audition for WWE Backstage, and is surprised that Brie did not get the call. Brie is shocked that WWE only wants one of the Bella twins and not both of them.

Nikki auditions for WWE Backstage. She admits that she will miss being in the ring, but there are friends on the show she can easily support.



At Artem's house, Nikki and Artem have dinner together. Artem tells Nikki that she has been listening to Nikki concerning the vision board and that she has been taking it seriously. She says that his family are realists, and while his hopes and dreams are real, he does not take what he has done for granted and he needs to be the captain of his ship. Artem asks for Nikki to trust in him, and Nikki tells Artem that he wants Artem to simply know his worth while telling him to do what he feels makes him happy. Nikki realizes she needs to stop forcing things on Artem and let the opportunities come to Artem.

Brie talks to Bryan about Nikki's idea of Bryan taking Birdie home while Brie stays in Los Angeles for three days. Bryan says he will be gone the next day when he heads out to Australia, and says that Brie has buried herself in business. Bryan says that they have strayed away from the simple life they promised themselves when they married, and while Nikki says they have "evolved as humans," Bryan wants to know when they can simply spend time together. Brie thinks she will eventually be less busy, but Bryan tells her that she has taken on too much as he begrudgingly agrees to take Birdie home. Brie says she has worked so hard to get to where she is and has gotten opportunities she never thought she could get, but she has evolved as a woman.



Brie and Nikki are at the premiere for SmackDown on Fox. Nikki realizes that there will always be opportunities to connect with the fans, and that she is happy that the opportunities are there for her. Brie and Nikki then catch up with the backstage staff and the members of the women's division. Nikki realizes she would have been bummed out if she did not show up at the premiere. During ths how, Brie and Nikki meet with Bryan, who wonders if his and Brie's relationship is sustainable, and feels that the two of them need to do something if they need to do more than just survive as a couple.
