WWE is said to be very happy with the show, as the ratings have continued to rise week-by-week. The divas were a significant part of Tuesday’s SummerSlam press conference, and have a match tying the series together at the pay-per-view as well.
It is also worth noting that this Sunday’s SummerSlam pay-per-view will directly compete with Total Divas. Be sure to follow our coverage of the show weekly on the Wrestling Rumors Twitter account as well.
