Maria Menounos Makes a Comeback in WWE at 2013 SummerSlam
Brace yourselves Total Diva fans, EXTRA's sexy host Maria Menounos is coming back to WWE's ring in another tag team fight - this time with Total Divas star Natalya. She will be facing Brie Bella of the The Bella Twins.
It is unclear whether Brie's sister, Nikki, will be well enough to be joining the match as she was injured. Nonetheless, the special Divas fight will be held at the SummerSlam Axxess this coming Sunday.
The tag team probably started when Diva Natalya invited Maria over to be her guest at the SummerSlam, which the latter retweeted. The next day, Natalya tweeted this:
If @nicoleandbri are so tough, Maybe they would like to tango with myself and @mariamenounos if Nikki is cleared. A #TotalDiva has spoken!
— Natalya (@NatbyNature) August 12, 2013
To which the twins reiterated with:
Don't worry @NatbyNature and @mariamenounos consider the match made! Don't worry we'll find a partner, Bella Style!
— The Bella Twins (@nicoleandbri) August 12, 2013
Even before these catty tweets, Nicole and Brie were already insulting Maria about her hosting and interviewing abilities.
After it became a pseudo-match on social media, Raw General Manager Brad Maddox announced via Twitter that the match is officially on.
This isn't the first time former Dancing with the Stars competitor Maria Menounos has faced the Bellas. She already has a tag team match win over the twins in the 2011 WWE Tribute to the Troops. In 2012,, she participated in another tag team match with Kelly Kelly against Eve Torres and Beth Phoenix at Wrestlemania XXVIII. Her team was also victorious.
Check out AfterBuzz TV's interview with Maria's tag team partner, Total Divas' Star Natalya as she defends Menounos against the Bella Twins.
The WWE 26th SummerSlam will be held on Sunday, Aug 18 at the Staples Center in Los Angeles, California. It can be availed on pay-per-view television, online and even gaming consoles. For more information, click here.
