**E! has announced that six more episodes of Total Divas have been ordered with the current runs of shows expiring on Sunday September 15th and then six additional episodes will start airing on Sunday November 17th in the same 10pm EST timeslot. The show has been a huge success for the network with each show increasing in numbers each week with this past Sunday’s show averaging 1,670,000 viewers. This Sunday will be a tough one as it’s going head to head with SummerSlam but they do replay the show at 1am EST later that night.

**In a strange decision the WWE is going ahead with the Natalya & Maria Menounos match against Brie Bella and a partner of her choosing but the match is not going to be at SummerSlam and instead will take place at WWE Axxess this weekend in Los Angeles.


==========================================

I don't get it. By extended, does that mean 6 more episodes of the current season, or 6 new episodes of a new season with different people?

Wait, when did Maria Menudo get involved in this?

Over the weekend, Brie Bella challenged her to a tag match at Summerslam on Twitter. I posted the actual Tweets in the Summerslam thread a few days ago.

Here's an interview with the Bellas on Menounos' Afterbuzz TV "talking trash" about her:

I'm more surprised that people thought the Nattie/Brie match was going to be on the actual PPV broadcast. I thought for sure it'd be on the pre-show, but Axxess I didn't peg.

WWE.com is advertising the tag match for Axxess and still promoting the singles match for the PPV.

LMAO at the E constantly bumping matches for max Total Divas drama. Then again after the super botch on Raw it's probably for the best.

This is awesome news, another 6 new episodes. Sweet.

I wonder if Nattie will be shocked that she isn't going to be on Summerslam

I hope they got the cameras rolling when they have Jane Ace tell her the news.

Yeah, Nattie/Brie is for Summerslam and Maria's tag match is for Axxess. I think it's odd they're giving Nattie/Brie a PPV match, they must have something planned...or maybe it's just to give Nattie a happy story on Total Divas ("she finally gets the spotlight she deserves"). I'm also glad they didn't shoehorn Maria into a PPV again when she doesn't deserve it.

The Bellas just announced on Twitter who Brie's partner will be at Axxess...Eva Marie.

In FUTURE NEWS: WWE makes headlines, but not the good kind like you want. Reviving the IN YOUR HOUSE ppv, fans can pay $45 for a 3hour long episode of Total Divas guaranteed to have the most drama and sexiness of any "reality" show ever.

I'm fine with any decisions involving putting diva matches where I won't see them.
