WWE Working On Two New Total Divas Style Reality Shows For Broadcast TV

PWInsider reports that WWE is looking to expand its reality TV programming following the continued success of Total Bellas and Total Divas on E! Network. WWE partners with Bunim-Murray Productions on their reality series.

The two concepts WWE is considering for new reality shows are:

* A reality show centered around The Miz and Maryse which would be similar to Total Bellas which is heavily centered around the relationships of Nikki Bella and John Cena and Brie Bella and Daniel Bryan. The new series would focus on Miz and Maryse’s in-ring activities as well as their personal lives as a married couple expecting a child while living in Hollywood. Dolph Ziggler, who is a close friend of the couple, would likely be a regular on the show.

* A reality show centered around finding a new female WWE star. The idea would be that all the women competitors on the show would hit the road with WWE on a bus with weekly competitions and eliminations, with one woman being crowned the winner and earning a WWE contract. The idea is somewhat similar to the old Tough Enough and Diva Search concepts.

These concepts are not being planned for WWE Network programming but for broadcast TV such as on E! Network or another broadcast partner.

Total Divas is credited with playing a major role in cultivating WWE’s female audience, an audience that had otherwise shunned pro-wrestling.
