Once speculated as a potential series for the elusive WWE Network, a reality series involving the company’s “Divas” has scored a scheduling slot on an existing cable network.
“Total Divas,” a series that “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,” will premiere this summer on E!
“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.”
According to the official E! announcement, the show will focus on five established Divas–the Bella Twins, the Funkadactyls and Natalya–as well as newcomers Eva Marie and Jo-Jo Offerman.
“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,” confirms E! “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’s narrative begins at this year’s WrestleMania, following what E! calls “the first time that any television series was granted exclusive behind-the-scenes access to WWE.”
