WWE are looking to expand their reality series footprint as part of their partnership with Bunim-Murray production, who produce Total Divas and Total Bellas on the E! Network, according to a report from PWInsider.com.
The report notes that there have been two concepts floating around over the past several weeks, with the first being a series similar to Total Bellas, but instead focused on The Miz and Maryse, with the series focusing on their in-ring exploits, as well as their personal lives and adventures as a married couple in Hollywood and that the series would feature the couple’s best friends from real life, including WWE SmackDown Live superstar Dolph Ziggler, who is very good friends with both The Miz and Maryse.
The second series being discussed notes that the show would be something of an amalgamation of Tough Enough, Diva Search and the competition era of WWE NXT, with the concept seeking out the next female WWE star. The idea that has been passed around would be that the series will place its competitors on the road with the WWE as they all travel together via a tour bus, with weekly competitions leading to eliminations, before one final winner is crowned and earns a WWE contract.
The report notes that while neither series is 100% set in stone as of now, these are the two projects that have been worked on and that the concepts are not being developed with the idea of them being WWE Network exclusives, but rather something that could be sold to a broadcast partner.
