Production
The series gives viewers an inside look of the lives of WWE Divas from their work within WWE to their personal lives. Behind the scene footage of the Divas is also included.[4][8][9][10] On February 24, 2015, Paige announced Total Divas was renewed for a fourth season, with filming commencing at the end of the month.[11] It was then announced at the end of the season three finale, that the fourth season would premiere on July 7, 2015, moving from Sunday to Tuesday nights.[12] Unlike other WWE programs, most of the performers use their real names instead of their ring names, leading to Cameron, Naomi, Natalya, Jimmy Uso, and Tyson Kidd being referred to as Ariane, Trinity, Nattie, Jon, and TJ respectively.
On April 1, 2015, E! announced the show had been renewed for a fourth season via a press release. In the press release, it was confirmed that Naomi would return as a series regular with Cameron and Rosa Mendes being removed from the main cast. All of the other divas would return as series regulars.[13] On September 5, 2015, an online article states that there could be a strong possibility Total Divas will be renewed for a fifth season. It reads that season four will "wrap up this fall" and the new season "won't air till 2016 some time".[14] On September 9, 2015, Naomi revealed on Twitter that she had been taken off the main cast after the mid-season finale, which aired on September 29.[15] Season four may be extended following the mid-season hiatus instead of jumping to season five.[15] There has been speculation that WWE Tough Enough runner-up Amanda Saccomanno may join the cast after the mid-season hiatus.[15] It was later confirmed that Amanda will be joining the cast for season 5.[16] After the September 22 episode of Total Divas aired, it was announced that next weeks episode would serve as the season finale, rather than a mid-season finale, so the show will jump to a fifth season following the conclusion of season four.[17]
