Recap: Major cast shakeup coming for Total Divas season 9

A major cast shakeup is coming to the ninth season of Total Divas.

Raw Women’s champion Ronda Rousey is being added to the cast according to the website Squared Circle Sirens and E! cameras were at her farm last week to commence filming.

In what is maybe a surprise, Nikki and Brie Bella will not be returning to the series. Both had been an integral part of the show over the past eight seasons but Ryan Satin over at Pro Wrestling Sheet adds to the story that the Bellas will now be concentrating on their Total Bellas show moving forward.

Former Smackdown General Manager Paige will also not return for the ninth season after being re-added to the cast last year.

Carmella, Natalya, Nia Jax, Sonya Deville and Naomi will be the other individuals featured on the show along with Rousey.

Natalya is the only person who has so far managed to appear as one of the main cast in all seasons including the upcoming one.
