Total Divas Island - Total Divas recap for November 28, 2018

Backstage at Raw in Little Rock, Arkansas, Nia Jax is grateful for the opportunity to work with "Rowdy" Ronda Rousey. Nia feels like she is peaking as a performer, and that she had no idea how mainstream Ronda was until after she worked with her. Ember Moon tells her she is not peaking, and she and Nattie tell her that she's got this.

Trinity and Jon Uso go ring shopping. Last week, their vehicle was broken into, and Trinity's bag - which contains her wedding ring - was stolen.

Nattie heads to her parents' house, as her sister Muffy is in town. Nattie reveals that her father, Jim "The Anvil" Neidhart, is suffering from Alzheimer's. Her mother Ellie is worried as she watches Jim struggle, and doesn't know what to do except to be there for him. Nattie, Muffy and Ellie agree that they should be there for Jim and take control of the situation.

Five days before Money In The Bank, Brie and Nikki get a call from Bryan, who is now back on the road with WWE. Brie is happy for him, but that means he'll be at home less often. Meanwhile, Nikki says she would do anything to be in a Money In The Bank Ladder Match.



Nattie and her dad Jim spend some time in the gym. Nattie plans to do everyone proud at Money In The Bank, then mentions that Alzheimer's runs through her father's side of the family, and she is curious as to see whether she is at risk for Alzheimer's later at risk.

Jon Uso gives Trinity an earful for not wearing her wedding ring, and Trinity feels even more miserable and upset about the situation.



Three days before Money In The Bank, Nattie and Muffy head to a clinic after Nattie took a test to see if she has the gene for Alzheimer's. Nattie does not know if she wants to see the results, as she does not want to have it haunt her if she does, but fortunately for her, she has a normal result, which means that she is not at risk for Alzheimer's.

At SmackDown Live in Memphis, Tennessee, Lana is nervous about the Women's Money In The Bank Ladder Match, and hopes that she comes out of the match okay.

Trinity takes Jon Uso to a tattoo shop to get a tattoo on her ring finger to make up for losing the wedding ring. Jon tells her she doesn't have to do this, but she says that she wants to, and they both go ahead with the idea of putting their first initials on their ring fingers.



At Money In The Bank, everyone is nervous and excited about their match. Brie, Nikki and Birdie watch Bryan's match from home, and when the Women's Money In The Bank Ladder Match takes place as well as the Raw Women's Championship match, Brie and Nikki - as well as the rest of the women in the match - are amazed at how far the women of WWE have come.

Two months after Money In The Bank, Nattie finds out that her father, Jim "The Anvil" Neidhart, has passed away. Nattie talks about how Jim's sister Debbie showed a lot of footage of Jim's childhood as well as how Jim remembered all of it, then Nattie's family is seen setting things up for Jim's funeral. Nattie says that her father would be glad to know that people are crying for him because he was so great. We then see a montage of Jim before the funeral takes place. Nattie takes comfort in the fact that he passed away in his own home on his terms with the people that he loved before he could go into a nursing home, but it is so hard for her to say goodbye to her Dad, as she finds it surreal that she will never see him again. Nattie then heads to SummerSlam, where she is consoled by everyone backstage, saying she could never ask for better friends. At the show, she wears her father's jacket from when he won the WWE World Tag Team Championships with Bret "The Hit Man" Hart at SummerSlam 1990 to honor her father's memory.





We see a preview for Season 4 of Total Bellas, which returns January 13th.
