Los Angeles CA – April 22 2013 – Adored by millions of fans the gorgeous women called WWE Divas have earned their places as sports entertainment icons through more than just their pretty faces and red hot figures. It takes a lot of work and guts to enter the competitive WWE family where youth is golden. This summer E! will take viewers into a whole new world of drama when “Total Divas” explores life beyond the ring for seven WWE Divas who must wrestle with the challenges of life in the spotlight a grueling work and travel schedule and the intense competition for prominence in a career that leaves little time for a personal life.

"I’m thrilled for E! and WWE to join forces and pull back the curtain on one of pop culture’s most fascinating arenas " said Suzanne Kolb President E! "With tens of millions of weekly fans at their disposal these glamorous entertaining and powerful women prove that behind the glitz of the spotlight the locker room drama and the jockeying for position within the organization they are all drawn to one thing: stardom.”

“We are excited to work with E! on the launch of ‘Total Divas ’ a series that will showcase the professional and personal lives of WWE’s multi-talented female performers ” said Kevin Dunn Executive Vice President Television Production WWE. “There is no series on the air that can rival the charm beauty larger than life personalities drama and glamour that this show will deliver.”

The series will focus on a select group of seven women from the ranks of the WWE Diva corps. Five are established Divas who are no strangers to the life and two are newbies girls who have entered into the Diva training program but have yet to prove themselves worthy of the title. Throughout the series we will see these women attempting to establish their own pecking order as the new girls attempt to handle the jealousy and pressure that comes with working your way up the ladder for the most airtime ring time and top celebrity status. With no two days alike and juggling their constant demands the Divas definitely find time to celebrate their star status by traveling the world for their various charities appearing in feature films attending star-studded red carpets and glamorous photo shoots. Through it all the everyday challenges of maintaining relationships with their boyfriends as well as their families in their over the top lifestyles start to take their toll on the girls.

Appearing in the series are the Bella Twins Brie and Nikki a pair of seasoned veterans who have reached superstar status in the WWE ring and earned their places in the spotlight. The duo will work harder than ever to maintain this level of excellence whether the newbies like it or not. Naomi and Cameron are two knockouts whose dance routines have made them stars on the tour. When conflict and success collide head on between these two will both be left standing? They don’t call them Divas for nothing! Natalya is a third-generation sports entertainment star who knows the ropes and knows them well. She’s seen lots of doors open for other Divas but often finds herself left behind when it comes to achieving superstar status. Can she continue to soldier on as a perennial "bridesmaid"? And tagging into the ring as the newest member of the Divas is Eva Marie a passionate sexy extremely competitive force that wants stardom more than anyone else. Also joining in on the action is Jo–Jo Offerman an entertainer at heart young and energetic who will no doubt be a charismatic force in the ring.

The show kicks off with an unprecedented look inside the most-anticipated WWE event of the year WrestleMania® marking the first time that any television series was granted exclusive behind-the-scenes access to WWE. Following the drama the series heads to WWE’s flagship television program Monday Night Raw® with a match between the Bellas in one corner and Naomi/Cameron (aka “The Funkadactyls”) in the other. They bring on the drama from the very start and alliances are quickly formed on the road as the new girls choose sides. And with some WWE Superstars vying for the romantic attention of the girls the drama comes to a boil quickly and shows no sign of slowing down.

Total Divas is produced by WWE and Bunim-Murray Productions. Jon Murray Gil Goldshein Jeff Jenkins and Russell Jay are Executive Producers for Bunim-Murray Productions.
