Total Bellas Island - Total Bellas recap for October 25, 2017

Five days before WrestleMania, Nikki and J.J. are on the highway, five minutes away from the arena. Nikki's friend Joey is also tagging along. Nikki says she will miss the energy of the live crowd, and says that will be the hardest part of hanging the boots up.

Nikki does some interviews at WrestleMania Axxess.

Brie and Bryan talk about the possibility of missing Brie giving birth to Birdie. Bryan says he will be there for the birth of their child.

Nikki meets with the fans at WrestleMania Axxess. She laments that this may be the last time she meets her fans in a wrestling setting. She tells her mom Kathy that she is not making a retirement speech right away, as she knows that she will return to WWE with Brie one day. One of the fans she meets - who looks a lot like her - gives her a glittery baseball hat. Nikki promises to wear it at WrestleMania.

Two days before WrestleMania, Nikki and a host of other Superstars are at the WWE Hall of Fame Induction. John Cena is dressed in a tuxedo.

Bryan and Brie FaceTime each other as Bryan is on the way to Orlando, Florida. Daniel Bryan's grandmother says she will be the first person

On the day of WrestleMania, Nikki meets Maria Menounos. She also takes a look at the ramp - which is four stories high - while looking at the ring with Natalya, and tells Brie about it. Brie laments that she is not there to see it with her own eyes, and reminds her that she has come a long way since last year, when she walked down the ramp in a neck brace. Nikki laments that this might be the last time she might wrestle in an arena like this, and does not want her career to end.



In an interview, John Cena and Nikki cannot believe they are in a tag team match together, and Cena says the match will be a shining moment.

Kathy and J.J. get a bird's eye view of WrestleMania.

Lauren and Vivian meet Nana and Brie at Brie and Bryan's home to watch WrestleMania. At the arena, J.J. and Kathy take in the sights of WrestleMania, and Nikki has a word with Johnny backstage. Johnny tells Nikki she and John Cena will do great. Mark Carrano tells Nikki that her and John's match will be after the ladder match.

Nikki heads out to the match with the hat she got from WrestleMania Axxess. She hopes to do a little more during the match and "be everyone's Wonder Woman."

John Cena and Nikki have their match at WrestleMania. John Cena's mom Carol - who has never seen John in the ring live - is in the front row. After the match, John Cena proposes to Nikki. Nikki says yes. Over at Brie and Bryan's house, everyone is ecstatic. At the arena, J.J. and Kathy celebrate the moment.

Renee Young congratulates John Cena and Nikki backstage. In another interview, Nikki thought that John Cena would never propose to her and that it was a dream come true, while John Cena says it felt great proposing to Nikki in front of his family. Nikki says that the road to this moment has been the longest journey, and after everything she has been through, she is finally going to be his wife. Kathy has so much emotion right now after John proposed to Nikki.



At Brie and Bryan's house, everyone is ecstatic about John Cena's wedding proposal. Brie gets a FaceTime from Nikki and John Cena. J.J. says he cannot be happier for John Cena and Nikki. Nikki is seen celebrating the news with her friends outside of the arena.



At Brie and Bryan's house, Bryan is back home, and Brie is still pregnant with Birdie. As Bryan picks berries, Brie figures out what "raising the white flag" and "throwing in the towel" means. Bryan mentions that Brie still wants a natural birth.

Brie and Bryan head to the hospital with their doula to induce the pregnancy. The next morning, Nikki heads to the hospital to meet Brie and Bryan. All through the day, the hospital staff as well as Nikki, Bryan and the doula do what they can to help Brie give birth. That night, Brie tries to give birth, but she is in a lot of pain. With Brie and baby coming out of it healthy being the main goal, Brie ends up having a Caesarian section, and Birdie is finally born. Brie finally get to hold Birdie in her arms. Brie celebrates the newest addition to the family, and Bryan is happy that both mother and daughter are healthy.



Next week: Season 7 of Total Divas premieres!

Generation NXT - NXT recap for October 25, 2017

It is announced by General Manager William Regal that Nikki Cross will receive another shot at the NXT Women's Championship in this week's battle royal following what happened two weeks. The Undisputed Era (Adam Cole, Bobby Fish, Kyle O'Reilly) have been reprimanded and reminded of what is considered proper conduct in NXT. Also, there will be a rematch between SAnitY (Eric Young, Alexander Wolfe, Killian Dain) and The Authors of Pain (Akam and Rezar) for the NXT tag team titles, and the member of SAnitY who is not competing in that rematch will be banned from ringside.

Riddick Moss and Tino Sabbatelli beat Oney Lorcan and Danny Burch.



Nikki Cross wins the battle royal to determine the final competitor in the Fatal 4-Way for the NXT Women's Championship, last eliminating Billie Kay. After the match, General Manager William Regal enters the ring with the NXT Women's Championship. Peyton Royce confronts Nikki Cross in the ring, then Ember Moon also shows up and gets in the ring, as does Kairi Sane.



We see footage from earlier this week, where Drew McIntyre is being interviewed when Zelina Vega shows up. Zelina Vega wants to know where the contract for Andrade "Cien" Almas vs. Drew McIntyre is. Once again, he asks that Almas simply look in his eyes and ask him for the match to his face like a man.

The Velveteen Dream attacks Aleister Black from behind and ties him up in the ring ropes before the next match. He demands that Aleister say his name and slaps him in the face. Velveteen Dream then goes for a running attack off the rope, but he gets kicked in the face and nearly gets hit with Black Mass as he hastily retreats.

Andrade "Cien" Almas and Zelina Vega show up. Zelina says a woman does not get success in business like she has by being a patient woman, and says she is still waiting for the contract for Almas vs. Drew McIntyre. She says that Drew McIntyre has found out that the higher up the mountain you go, the thinner the air is to breathe. She accuses McIntyre of ducking him, and says he is not man enough to breathe the air of a rarified champion.

Andrade "Cien" Almas beats Roderick Strong after Zelina Vega sends Strong into the steel steps with a hurricanrana at ringside behind the referee's back. After the match, Zelina and Almas head to the commentary table. Zelina wants to know if McIntyre is a man of his words. Next week, Almas will meet him face-to-face him. Almas tells Drew to show up. After Vega and Almas leave, The Undisputed Era (Adam Cole, Bobby Fish, Kyle O'Reilly) shows up. They hand Roderick Strong an armband with their logo and Cole tells Strong "Think about it. The world will be yours." The Undisputed Era leaves, and the show ends.



After tonight's show went off the air, General Manager William Regal announces that Andrade "Cien" Almas will face Drew McIntyre for the NXT Championship at NXT TakeOver: Houston due to his impressive win streak as of late. If they wish to meet face-to-face, it will be next week when they sign the contract for the match.
