5 Things We Learned From Total Bellas

5. John Laurinaitis Is Back

John Laurinaitis has been off WWE screens since 2012, transitioning to an off-screen role as a producer. He married the Bellas' mother Kathy earlier this year, officially making Laurinaitis part of the Bella family.

Kathy has already appeared frequently on Total Divas, but I would expect to see far more of Laurinaitis on E! screens in some form or other from now on. Ironically, from what we saw of Laurinaitis on the show, manufacturing reality TV-appropriate drama doesn’t seem to come easily to him.

This isn’t entirely unexpected, as Laurinaitis never exactly set the microphone on fire during his time in WWE. But acting skills have never been a pre-requisite for a successful reality TV career.

Kathy’s marriage to Laurinaitis means that every woman in the Colace family is paired up with a high profile wrestler or former wrestler. That’s a pretty unique dynamic, and ripe for reality TV exploitation. Laurinaitis isn’t going anywhere anytime soon.
