During a recent interview with PWInsider, Nikki Bella spoke specifically about the criticism that the show has received over the past few years. In a nutshell, she feels that Total Divas gets a bad rep because of the way WWE officials handled it early on. Nikki had the following to say:
“What is unfortunate is that when Total Divas was succeeding and we became a hit reality show, they let people with a mic in the ring just bash it and us Total Divas never got a response.”
“So, with the fans, it began to give Total Divas a bad name. Actually, while the girls who aren’t on the reality show are just wrestling, us girls on the reality show are wrestling, are filming, are never sleeping, going to appearances, making sure that the world knows how amazing women wrestlers are. So, I don’t feel Total Divas gets enough credit because the words ‘reality show’ has ruined it for people.”
