On this week's episode of Total Divas, Brie Bella goes back to Bridezilla mode and bans one of the Divas from coming to her wedding while Nikki Bella refuses to reveal her big secret to boyfriend John Cena!

In case you missed it or you just want to relive it, we've got the best moments from the show in a full PIC/GIF recap!

Brie and her fiancé Daniel Bryan are discussing their wedding planning, which includes going to see several potential locations in the coming week. Just when Bryan doesn't think he can be any more overwhelmed, Brie surprises him by asking if she can trim his beard for the wedding.

Bryan reluctantly agrees although Brie can sense that he isn't very comfortable with it. She decides to hold off for now and jokes that she'll do it while he sleeps.

Josie happily licks Bryan. The beard gets to stay! For now...

All of the Divas are busy getting ready for WrestleMania, the biggest WWE event of the year.

Being a part of WrestleMania is a huge step in a Diva's career and Nikki is extra excited about it. She wants that Championship!

Trinity gets a warm welcome back at the WWE. It's been a month since her eye injury and she's ready to pick up where she left off and pursue that Divas Championship!

Nikki, it looks like you've got some competition...

Stressed out over the big secret that she told Nattie about her previous marriage, Nikki decides it's time to come clean to John.

She pulls him aside at work, but as he talks about how busy he is, she decides it can wait...

Brie is at her final dress fitting with her mom and Nikki. Brie reminds Nikki that she needs to tell John her secret ASAP because she doesn't want any drama at her wedding.

Nikki gets a call from the WWE, informing her that the big shoot they're doing for WrestleMania was moved to Wednesday. As soon as she hangs up, Brie angrily informs Nikki that she can't go that day because she's already scheduled to view wedding locations in Sedona, Arizona.

The twins get into an argument about work commitments versus wedding planning and Brie openly states her feelings on the matter.

Nikki abruptly leaves after Brie gets on her case about being selfish. Uh-oh, looks like Bridezilla Brie is back...

It's the last day of rehearsals for a fitness DVD that Trinity is filming with some of the other Divas and she has a quick chat with WWE Chief Brand Officer Stephanie McMahon.

Trinity thanks Stephanie for the opportunity and tells her that she is ready to pursue the Divas Championship.

Nikki and Brie are getting their makeup done for the WrestleMania promo shoot. Things are still awkward between them since their last argument.

Brie gets a call from her mother, who has gone to Sedona in her place to look at the wedding locations. There are already several problems, including the fact that one of the places doesn't have any bathrooms.

Frustrated, Brie realizes this is the first of many challenges that she is going to have to face...

Putting her worries aside for the time being, Brie puts on a smile and joins the other Superstars and Divas for the WrestleMania shoot in the streets of New Orleans!

The Divas then head to New York, where they will be doing press stuff for WrestleMania prior to the big event. While at the gym, Nikki voices her concerns to Nattie about Brie, who isn't sure whether or not she should invite Summer Rae to her wedding.

Looks like Brie has another big decision to make...

In a meeting with the WWE Senior Director of Talent Relations, the Divas find out that Summer Rae will be the first Diva to be featured in a movie. She's going to be in The Marine 4!

Nattie isn't exactly happy about this.

That evening, they make the big announcement that everyone is waiting for: all of the Divas, including Eva Marie and Ariane, will be competing in the Divas Championship match against the current Divas Champion, AJ Lee.

Just like the other Divas, Nattie has her eye on the grand prize.

Brie and Daniel drive to Sedona to check out the wedding locations. Brie mentions that she is torn about inviting Summer to the wedding and Daniel says that she needs to focus on what will make her happy—not everyone else.

When they check into their hotel, Daniel is shocked to discover that their room costs over $700 per night! Brie insists that it's all for the wedding but Daniel is slightly concerned...

Back home, Nikki decides that she's ready to reveal her secret to John. He patiently waits...

...but Nikki freezes up and gives him some other excuse! She decides to wait until after WrestleMania...

Brie and Bryan are looking at potential locations for their wedding. The resort has a nice spot where they could exchange their vows!

Then they visit a ranch, which is very outdoorsy. It's perfect for Brie and Bryan!

There's an Emu!

As Brie starts going over the extensive plans she has for their wedding, which includes shipping furniture out and having trees uprooted, Bryan finally breaks down and tells her that she's being unreasonable.

While driving back, Bryan suggests that they forget about having a big wedding and get married in the woods by themselves instead. Wishful thinking, Bryan!

It's WrestleMania time! All of the famous WWE Superstars are arriving in New York City for press before heading off to New Orleans for the main event!

There's Hulk Hogan, who will be hosting WrestleMania!

The Divas wave down to the crowd!

In New Orleans, Nikki and Brie meet up with their mom and brother JJ for coffee. Nikki is nervous because the last time she saw her brother, he was angry when she told him that she'd been married before.

The four of them go for a walk and JJ and Nikki apologize to each other. They then make a pact that they will never keep secrets from each other again and that they will face all future challenges as a family.

When JJ asks Nikki how John handled the truth, she remains quiet. Everyone assumes she's told him her secret already but in reality, she's afraid to. Lies upon lies...

Back at the WWE facility, Brie pulls Summer Rae aside. She's made her decision:

Brie explains to Summer Rae that she stopped trusting her after the incident that involved Summer talking to Bryan behind Brie's back, as well as the fact that Summer Rae says bad things about all of the other Divas.

Summer Rae starts to cry and says that the reason she talks about the others is due to the fact that she's insecure and it's a defensive mechanism.

Deep inside, Summer Rae realizes that she's misunderstood by all of the other Divas and she needs to fix things. But can we really believe her?

In the final days leading up to WrestleMania, Eva Marie voices her concerns to Nattie. She's super nervous because this is her very first WrestleMania where millions of people around the world will be watching her every move.

Nattie only reinforces Eva Marie's fears:

Eva Marie begins to questions everything and wonders if she even belongs in the WWE.

Could this be the end of her career as a Diva?
