Nikki Bella alongside her twin sister Brie Bella had been the center point of the Total Divas reality TV series that hasn’t been renewed since 2019. The show mainly revolved around real-life as well as scripted beef amongst the star cast. It’s been recently remembered how The Bellas had some legit problems with Eva Marie while filming scenes for the first-ever mainstream TV show to be produced by the WWE.
Total Divas first season on E Network premiered in 2013 and it starred Brie Bella, Cameron, Eva Marie, JoJo Offerman, Naomi, Natalya, and Nikki Bella these are considered the original cast members since the follow-up seasons had a lot of additions and minuses in the lineup. However, Natalya and The Bellas were always there from beginning to end and the latter duo also had their spin-off series.

On The Bellas Podcast, Nikki Bella spoke about her experience with Total Divas filming and she admitted having a real-life argument with Eva Marie,
“I had like a Queen Elizabeth [hairstyle] from like late 1800s bun on my head, which looked so bad with my highlights, and then I confronted Eva. And I’m in workout clothes with that bun on my head. I’m like, I don’t know what I should cry more about: the argument or that bun! It was so bad. I can’t even believe she could keep a straight face arguing with me.”
Eva Marie accused of having a laid-back attitude by Brie-Nikki Bella and Paige
A portion of their heat was aired on TV. The initial belief was that it was a scripted incident for the sake of the show. However, Nikki Bella has confirmed that the animosity existed for real. At one point, the All-Red Everything wanted to be like the WWE Hall of Famer showing more than needed confidence just after entering the mainstay scene. But eventually, she was released by the WWE after a few months due to the company’s Wellness Policy violation.
Nikki Bella also referenced another argument during her conversation on the Bellas Podcast suggesting that Marie had another argument with Paige and her sister Brie Bella,
“We hit heads big time legitimately. Actually, nothing like what happened at the Staples Arena [between Brie, Eva, and Paige].”

At that time Brie heavily criticized Eva Marie for failing to take the wrestling business seriously. Coming from a modeling background, Paige also accused the former WWE Superstar to have a “lazy” attitude after she began wrestling training in Los Angeles, California instead of the Performance Center in Orlando, Florida where the NXT trainees sweat it out, together.
Both Brie and Nikki Bella remained the mainstay features on Total Divas until Ronda Rousey entered the cast in the 9th season in 2019. As for Eva Marie, she was released from WWE in 2017 but she returned to WWE in May 2021 after an absence of four years. But after spending just a few months, she was again released from the contract in November 2021 due to budget cuts.
