Just before the long-awaited premiere of Total Divas, co-stars Eva Marie and JoJo took to the WWE’s developmental territory NXT, hosting back-to-back live events in Tampa and Winter Haven, Florida this week.
Also at the shows, new NXT Diva Erika Hammond made her debut, handling part of the announcing duties.
Diva Dirt reader Jordan has provided several photos and detailed descriptions of what went down:
“While young and energetic Jojo did an exceptional job hyping up the crowd, Eva Marie maintained her arrogant, heel persona (as seen on Raw) at the beginning of the evening in Winter Haven, but later let loose when handing out free t-shirts to fans, then dancing with WWE NXT Superstar Mojo Rawley and Divas Kendall Skye, Bayley, co-star Jojo, and a debuting Erika Hammond, who interchanged ring announcing duties with Skye throughout the event.”
There was also Divas tag team action, pitting Women’s Champion Paige and Sasha Banks against Charlotte and Emma:
“In Divas competition, first-ever WWE NXT Women’s Champion Paige suffered a loss in her hot streak since winning the championship while teaming with Sasha Banks to face NXT’s resident dancing queen, Emma and her partner of the evening, Charlotte. Emma put herself back on track when Banks tapped out to the Emma Lock.”
