Total Divas Island - Total Divas recap for March 15, 2016

Nattie works on her family's make-up for a selfie. Even the picture doesn't go very well.

Nikki finally drops the Divas title to Charlotte, and is thanked by the rest of the Divas for a job well done.

Nattie, Rosa and Mandy are at a restaurant. Rosa says that Bobby is going to Las Vegas with the boys, but she feels insecure about the situation and is afraid Bobby might cheat on eher. Nattie and Mandy reassure her.

Nattie, TJ and Jim "The Anvil" Neidhart look at some pictures from way back. Nattie then comes up with the idea of a family portrait, as there is not one photo of the entire family due to Nattie's dad travelling all the time.

Rosa drives Bobby to the airport. Bobby is heading to Vegas When Bobby's ex (who lives in Vegas) is brought up, Bobby insists that this trip is strictly for his T-shirt business.

Mandy and Nikki talk make-up backstage when Mark Carrano pulls Nikki aside for a meeting with WWE medical. Nikki finds out that she's going to be out of WWE for a while depending on how well she does at rehabbing her neck injury.

Nikki starts rehab, and wants to get well as quickly as she can so she can get back into the ring.

Nattie's family goes for the family photo idea...and it gets off to a slow start. Nattie doesn't want the mittens - picked by the grandkids - on the shirts for the family photo. Also, Nattie has a hilarious, awkward moment involving the use of the word "cremated."

Nikki heads back home with her mom. Mom reminds her to take rehab one day at a time so she doesn't get depressed over the whole ordeal. Nikki also mentions using John Cena as her rehab coach, and Mom likes the idea of that. They then talk about how best to escape a crocodile.

Mandy and her brothers Gary and Matt visit Rosa, who is depressed about Bobby being in Las Vegas. When they check Bobby's Instagram, they see a photo of him shirtless at the side of a pool with his work partner Ronnie. When she calls Bobby, it goes straight to voicemail. Mandy distracts Rosa from thoughts about Bobby and Vegas by trying to get her to have fun with her and her brothers. They also take a picture for Rosa's Instagram.



Kpjm Cena and Nikki head to Rob's gym to begin Nikki's rehab. Nikki finds out that Cena eats, sleeps and breathes recovery.



Mandy, her brothers and Rosa head back to Rosa's house. Rosa says that Bobby hasn't called her back. When they head bac on the road, Rosa gets a call from Bobby as she's driving, and Bobby asks about the photo with her, Mandy and Mandy's brothers. As soon as Robby says that he didn't know that Mandy would be in town, the phone call gets awkward, and Robby has a weird feeling about what's going on...and so does Mandy and her brothers.



Rosa, Mandy and Mandy's brothers Gary and Matt head to a restaurant. Rosa is still worried about Bobby, and Mandy can't seem to figure out why. Rosa has to mention that she's been in some pretty bad relationships in the past. Rosa mentions that she doesn't have the bad feelings about Bobby that she's had with other relationships, and they tell her to run with that feeling.

The photographer comes to Nattie's house for the family photo. Nattie is worried that that this won't go right, and that nobody is taking the family photo seriously.



TJ talks to Nattie in the bedroom, who reminds her not to be so uptight and that everybody had a great time taking the photo. They all take a family selfie, which ends up being a lot less stressful.

John Cena, Nikki and Nikki's mom head to an upscale restaurant. Nikki and her mom's behavior makes him think that Nikki isn't taking her rehab seriously.

Bobby finally comes home from Vegas. Bobby says that Rosa hanging out with Mandy and her brothers felt weird to him, as he knows nothing about Mandy's brothers and didn't know Mandy wasn't going to be in town. Rosa has the feeling Bobby is hiding something from her. Bobby was looking for an engagement ring for Rosa, which was why Bobby didn't want her to come with him. Rosa mentions that she's been through some traumatic stuff with ex-boyfriends in the past, and Bobby tells her that at a certain point, you have to let go of the past.

Nikki, Nikki's mom and John Cena head back home. Nikki thinks that Cena is being way too serious and overbearing about rehab when she just wants to relax for a little while after just returning home. Nikki's mom says she doesn't blame Cena, as Cena was being her rehab coach. She tells Nikki not to shoot him down just for doing what she asked him to do. Nikki apologizes to Cena, who says that he does go pretty fast and he didn't want to ruin a night out with her mom. Nikki realizes they're better as lovers than as rehab partners.



Bonus clip: Rosa is worried about Bobby on his trip to Las Vegas.



Bonus clip: Nattie tells Brie and Nikki about the family photo she's planning.

As before, Sami Zayn doesn't know when the rivalry between him and Owens started, especially given their friendship together.

However, he says what Sami Zayn did on Monday was personal, and that he is the victim, not Sami.
