Total Divas Recap: Rosa Shows Some Skin, Eva Marie Finally Gets Honest, Bickering Bellas, More

This episode starts off with a look at all of the stagecraft and theatrics from last week's show and then we plunge head-first into the new stuff.

Paige runs into Big E backstage and she asks him for a look at his sculpted, manly pecs. It's even weirder than it sounds. She looks at her own chest and explains that she's comparing her bust to his. Then she pounds on his pecs with her fists and it ends awkwardly, Phew!

Cameron accompanies Eva to Eva's fertility doctor. Eva talks to the doctor about some cysts and her heart-shaped uterus and the doc asks her is she's actively trying to get pregnant. Eva hems and haws but it's pretty clear she's not really on board with that. She takes some tests to determine her fertility. We also see the doc doing a scan of her uterus.

In the next segment, Brie discusses the new demand for Bella-themed merchandise. Nikki struts into a meeting and she's still fuming at Brie. Nikki basically tells the merch guys that Brie went behind her back and told Cena to leave her. Those guys are way freaked. It's starting to look like the theme of this week's show is awkwardness. Copious amounts of awkwardness.

The Bellas meet with Jesse Jackson and then they argue privately about Nikki's conduct in the meeting earlier that day.

Next up, Alicia Fox and Paige horse around backstage. Alicia talks directly to the camera, telling the audience about the high points of her career. Alicia is psyched to be on Total Divas. Paige and Alicia watch a match in which Rosa and Natalya take on Layla and Summer Rae. Rosa says everything is going her way these days. Then we see Layla grabbing Rosa by the trunks and showing off most of Rosa's derriere. Apparently it's a big deal and Rosa can get in trouble because it happened at a PG-13 show.

Later on, Eva and Cameron are at a restaurant and Eva confesses that she's not to keen on having kids. She says that Jonathan wants to have kids but she can do without that. She's pretty worried about potentially damaging her figure, her career and all that. Turns out she's been lying to Jonathan the whole time about wanting kids. As Inspector Gadget might say, "Wowzers." Better take a commercial break so everyone can catch a breather.

After the break, Rosa meets up with Alicia in the gym the morning after her involuntary mooning incident and tells "Foxy" that she got a crap-ton of new followers on Twitter and Instagram because of it.

We get a look at Nikki roughing up Naomi in the ring and then Brie talks to John Cena backstage? again. Brie basically asks Cena to smooth it all out for her. John is a little skeptical and isn't too willing to get into that whole mess.

When we het back to it, Alicia and Rosa are in a hotel room going over moves for a match. Rosa is really worried about having another wardrobe malfunction and at one point, she shows a little more than cleavage. But it's all blurred out anyway. Rosa wonders aloud if she's not as fun to be around because she's not drinking any more. She's worried that she's come a long way and it's still not going to turn out well in the end.

Back with Eva and Jonathan, Jonathan is still beating the drum for kids. He says that if she's not fertile, they can just adopt. Not sure if that's a good solution for her either.

Brie hangs out with her mom and bro and they talk about all of the weirdness with Nikki. She says that Nikki can hold a grudge for a long time. Mother Bella encourages her to call Nikki on the fly and feel her out, clearly suggesting that she is on some kind of other planet right now. Brie indulges her mom and Nikki gives her a rather cool reception. Nikki asks Brie if she's by herself at the moment and brie totally lies. It's a safe bet Nikki knows her family is in the room because Brie is making the call on speakerphone. Durr.

Eva returns to the doctor and we get a look at some pics of her uterus. Not the widely expected phot spread we were anticipating. Seems like she has a problem with her uterus that can be corrected with surgery but that her eggs seem to be in good shape.

Mark Carrano runs down Rosa backstage and browbeats her about showing her butt during that match. For some reason, he thinks she did that on purpose. He's basically saying he is considering firing her because he heard that she did it all as a social media stunt. Rosa is starting to suspect that Alicia is some kind of fox-y double-agent.

Commercials roll and then we see Rosa chasing down Alicia backstage. Alicia denies that she told Carrano anything but she does admit that she told some of the other Divas about Rosa's social media windfall. Fox and Mendes make up but Rosa is pretty sure somebody wants her gone from the 'E.

John Cena and Nikki talk back at the ranch about a big dinner that Nikki's family is planning. Nikki wants to sit this one out but John calls her a poop. She says he's a bigger poop. It's like that Seinfeld scene where Jerry and his girlfriend keep calling one another "schmoopy."

Back with Eva and Jonathan, Eva comes clean that she doesn't want any rugrats. Jonathan is somewhat less than happy at the revelation. Jonathan dresses her down in grand fashion for misleading him about her interest in a family. Eva says she's sorry he feels that way?something of a disingenuous apology, really?and then it gets really ugly. She said she didn't really "lie," per se and that really sets him off. He splits the scene to go work out.

Next up, we go to the Bella family dinner. Nikki greats Daniel Bryan and snubs her sis. Brie tells the audience that she doesn't know how to else to show Nikki that she's truly sorry. Brie tries to engage Nikki again and Nikki gets really agitated. The ladies talk a bit and kinda, sorta make up but Nikki says it's still going to take some time to patch things up.

Eva goes to see Jonathan at the gym. She grudgingly says that she should've told him about the "not wanting to have kids" thing. He says he probably would've married her anyway even if she'd been straight with him from the beginning. She says she's still scared to take on the responsibility to have kids and he encourages her to relax and take it slow. Jonathan says that if she comes around, she'll be a great mom and they totally make up. Kind of a nice way to end this one.

That's a wrap for this installment of basic cable's hottest female wrestling-themed reality program. We'll be back here next week for even more divalicious drama!
