Gone Girl is the 76th episode of WWE Total Divas and the 4th in Season 6.
Summary
Renee must intervene after Paige misses work; Nikki asks Bryan to help with her comeback.
Recap
The status of Nikki Bella and Daniel Bryan’s relationship is still complicated following their big blow up on Total Bellas, as they haven’t really spent any time together since then despite more or less burying the hatchet. Brie thinks inviting Nikki to stay with her and Bryan in Aberdeen is a good way to mend the relationship, and Nikki goes so far as to try to buy a literal olive branch for D-Bry (she settles on an apple tree). But The Fearless One has a slight ulterior motive in mind: She wants Bryan to train her for her comeback. Brie, however, puts the kibosh on any and all wrestling talk around Bryan, so things just get more and more awkward until Bryan, in an attempt to make conversation, asks how Nikki’s comeback is going. At this point, Brie bristles and Nikki reveals she’s under a gag order before storming out of brunch. Besides feeling somewhat insulted that Brie didn’t think he can handle talking about WWE, Bryan explains that talking about Nikki’s comeback is something that might actually help their relationship, since he’s genuinely interested in it. At this point, the relationship is mended and Bryan starts to give Nikki some new ideas, including a prototype for a new version of the Rack Attack.
Eva Marie made a big splash at WrestleMania, but since then it’s been crickets on Raw and SmackDown, and she’s back to working NXT. This doesn’t sit well with All Red Everything Herself, and — on Maryse’s advice — Eva takes matters into her own hands by flying herself on her own dime to a show where she’s not booked and asking, politely, what the deal is. While it’s explained that this isn’t the greatest move she could possibly make, the initiative is noted, and when Eva delivers an idea for a new intro, WWE ends up running with it and she’s back in action on SmackDown almost immediately.
