Natalya Addresses Rumors Of WWE Changing Total Divas Show Name

Following rumors of a name change for the Total Divas reality show, Natalya spoke with the folks at The Wrap to address the rumors.

Nattie told The Wrap, “You know, I’m not sure actually,” when asked about said rumors. “I’ve heard different rumblings. I’ve heard that, you know, [‘Total Divas’ co-star and executive producer] Nikki Bella had talked about it openly and said, you know, she wanted to change the name, and that we should go from ‘Divas’ to something else.”

According to the longtime WWE veteran and cast member of the popular E! reality show, she can see the positives and negatives associated with a name change this late in the game, with the show wrapping up its’ eighth season.

“It’s tough because, the way I look at it is, yes, in WWE we’re not called Divas anymore, we’re called Superstars,” she added. “But ‘Total Divas’ is such a popular show that, would the mainstream audience understand if we changed the name?

“But at the same time, I always think change is good and I think it could be a unique dynamic to take the fans, you know, on a journey where we do change the name. It just depends, the stars have to align. And I also, you know, I think the most important part is keeping the show authentic. Keeping it real and true to what it’s always been, and that really starts with the cast.”
