Total Divas is a lot of different things. It’s a wrestling show, it’s a reality show; it’s filled with drama, emotion, and there are plenty of laughs. But above all else, Total Divas is good old-fashioned absurd reality entertainment. Most episodes feature at least one downright silly moment.
Honestly, these are often the best bits of Total Divas. Who doesn’t love seeing people get caught up in awkward or weird situations? Throughout eight seasons, this show has seen its fair share of these bizarre moments. Below, you’ll find the 10 most ridiculous moments in Total Divas history.
Nattie Hires A Dominatrix
Natalya has always seemed like one of the more reserved women on the show. She doesn’t flaunt her sex appeal, and her relationship with TJ rarely sees them discussing their sex life. That changed in the premiere of Season 4. To spice things up in the bedroom, Nattie brought home a dominatrix.
The scene was full of zany humor. The dominatrix gave Nattie a bunch of tips and even spent some time whipping her. TJ didn’t take any of this seriously and was having fun with the whole thing. While they didn’t go the BDSM route, Nattie and TJ succeeded with some role-playing.
Eva Marie Can’t Dance
As soon as Total Divas began, we were given reasons not to like Eva Marie. She dyed her hair against company wishes in the first-ever episode and upped the ante with her antics in the following episode. Fandango, a wrestler with a professional dancer character, needed a female valet to dance with him each week and Eva offered up her services.
There was one major problem with that — Eva Marie didn’t know how to dance. She blatantly lied to WWE in a misguided attempt to fast-track her way to a weekly spot on television. Watching her struggle with the simplest dance moves was ridiculous. She got dressed down by her boss Stephanie McMahon afterward and for good reason.
The Braniel Bus
At one point during Season 2, Daniel Bryan and Brie Bella rented a tour bus to get from show to show. It was dubbed the “Braniel Bus” by those who used it, which included Naomi/Trinity, Jon/Jimmy Uso, TJ/Tyson Kidd, Natalya, and others. Bryan had a few simple rules he wanted everyone to follow.
One rule was that there would be no hooking up on the bus. That was quickly ignored by Jon and Trinity. Brie walked in on them and it was one of the most awkward moments on the show. However, the highlight was Bryan asking if they really tried to have sex on his bus. Jon responded with a hearty “yes,” but quickly changed to a “no” when he looked at Trinity.
Nattie Eats “Pot” Brownies
Paige joined the show and added a new dimension to things. She was younger than the rest of the cast, so her life was in a much different place. In her first appearance on the series, Paige invited Nattie to a party to help her get her mind off of her marital problems. Friendly enough, right?
At the party, Nattie scarfed down some brownies that Paige told her were laced with marijuana. Nattie proceeded to freak out because she didn’t want her bosses to think she was a drug addict if she got drug-tested. She went way overboard with her reaction and it was all for naught. as Paige revealed they were normal brownies. It was just a joke.
Summer vs. Nattie
In case you haven’t noticed, there will be a lot of Nattie on this list. She’s just a ridiculous person. Her feud with Summer Rae was evident as soon as Summer joined the show. She got cast in a WWE film, causing Nattie to be petty and jealous about it. Nattie spent her time gossiping, so Summer had a talk with her.
Summer went to Nattie’s home and had a reasonable conversation. She said Nattie was a veteran who shouldn’t waste time gossiping and being threatened by new girls because she’s so good. Nattie lashed out, saying Summer was a borderline stripper and chastised her being single at 30. Summer responded with a slap. The feud continued and Nattie even brought up the slap months later, saying it still affected her jaw.
Lana Stages Paparazzi Pics
Lana is always looking to be in the spotlight. Most of her time on the show has been spent trying to get put on television more often or bugging Nattie for tips on how to improve. Her enthusiasm is endearing but she often goes too far when trying to make an impression. We saw that when she took her husband to the beach.
Lana’s idea involved her and Rusev wearing flesh-colored swimwear. They then laid on the beach on top of each other and had photographers stage paparazzi-style pictures as if they were naked and having sex on the beach. Needless to say, this was a bad idea. WWE wasn’t happy, as they’re a PG company, and this is a bad look, real or not.
Nattie’s In-Ring Problems
Poor Nattie. She is always the one having the most ridiculous things happen to her. The one place she seems comfortable is inside the wrestling ring, but even that goes poorly sometimes. An episode covered Nattie getting kicked so hard during a match that she accidentally peed herself.
Another in-ring incident came during the biggest show of the year. Nattie got eliminated from a battle royal at WrestleMania. As she hit the floor, her legs spread and her attire split at the crotch. And she wasn’t wearing underwear. The internet was quick to get screenshots of this embarrassing flub.
Rosa’s Wardrobe Malfunction
Similar to Lana, Rosa Mendes was on a mission to get noticed in a big way. She understood that nip-slips can happen in wrestling. Brie and Nikki Bella have both seen that occur during their careers. But those were accidents and Rosa purposely wanted to have a slip.
Rosa nabbed Alicia Fox to put the plan into motion. It didn’t go the way she hoped, yet she still had a slip happen. During a match, Rosa was trying to get in the ring only to be pulled back by another girl. When they pulled, Rosa’s pants came down and everyone saw her bare butt.
JJ Bella Sends Nudes To His Sisters
This was easily the most cringeworthy thing to happen in the series. Brie and Nikki’s brother JJ makes several appearances on the show each season. He’s not the most likable person, but even he didn’t deserve what happened when he accidentally sent nude photos to his siblings instead of his wife.
Just doing that on its own is horrifying enough. Your sisters never need to see that kind of thing. But to make things worse and more awkward, Nikki discussed it with the family and then showed the photos to them. Why not just delete them? That’s just so wrong in every conceivable fashion.
Nattie’s Icy Hot Incident
Of course Nattie has to be at the top of the list. This was another moment from the time on the Braniel Bus. Nattie applied Icy Hot to her lower back because it was hurting. We’ve all been there. It’s what happened next that sent this into ridiculous territory.
Before washing her hands, Nattie went to the bathroom. Apparently, when she wiped she still had the Icy Hot on her hands. On a crowded bus filled with her peers, Nattie had to express that she somehow got Icy Hot all over her inner thighs and rear area. This is the kind of thing that could only happen to Nattie.
