Update on Sunny, Original Total Divas Name, WWE Executive Honored

It has been a rough couple of weeks for former WWE performer Tammy “Sunny” Sytch. She was arrested for driving while intoxicated last month and was placed in jail shortly afterwards. Sytch has had a long history of legal issues in recent years, but she had outstanding warrants for her arrest in this particular instance. In an update provided today by PWInsider, it was mentioned that Sytch has been extradited from Monmouth County Corrections in Freehold, New Jersey to the Carbon County Correctional Facility in Pennsylvania. Sytch will remain in jail for the time being. Sytch was inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame back in 2011. Be sure to stay tuned for any additional updates on Sunny’s status that may arise.
Given that WWE no longer refers to their female performers as “Divas,” it may seem strange to some that the Total Divas reality show on the E! network still goes by that name. However, that was not originally the name that was selected for the series. According to former WWE writer Brian Mann during an appearance on Post Wrestling’s Rewind-a-SmackDown show, the original name for the show was “Heels on Wheels.” The company even filed a trademark for that very term back in 2011. Discussions for the show that ended up becoming Total Divas came up when creative team members were pitching show ideas for the WWE Network. Total Divas premiered on E! in 2013 instead, and it still airs on the network to this day.
One person who has been influential in WWE over the years has been Michelle Wilson. Wilson is a name that some wrestling fans may not be familiar with, but she currently works as a member of the Board of Directors and as the Co-President of the company. It has just been announced that Wilson will be receiving a huge honor for her contributions. Multichannel News will be awarding Wilson with a spot in the 2019 class of “Wonder Women.” The 2019 class consists of eleven other females who have made a difference working in the media. Stephanie McMahon congratulated Wilson shortly after the news was broken. The luncheon for the event is taking place in the Marriott Marquis in New York later on today.

Congratulations to Michelle Wilson, @WWE’s Co-President, on being named to the 2019 class of Multichannel News’ #WonderWomen recognizing female leaders in media. Well-deserved, you are an inspiration to me and so many others! @MCNWonderWomen #MCNWW2019 https://t.co/5t7g3CVZxP
