Total Bellas, Episode 3: Bryan's Lament

This episode even manages to make JJ sad.

Tea can’t fix everything

The family continues to push Bryan to do SOMETHING, perhaps be the host of a little treehouse gardening show or whatever he likes, and Bryan’s all “YOU’RE NOT MY REAL MOMS!” and sinks deeper into the sadness sand.

Another weird part is when Bryan reveals he holds the record for the lowest score ever on WWE’s Ambition Test. The dude that spent 16 years punishing his body across the world only to become the WWE World Heavyweight Champion at Wrestlemania against all odds? Zero ambition.

Are the WWE bosses running things at the Stamford offices like Charlie and Mac did when they got jobs in a mailroom? Also, he’s been battling depression and anxiety since he was 25 years old and him and Brie have been hiding it from the rest of the family. Everything is terrible.

Trying to bond with Bryan, Nikki takes him to a girl tea party. It’s pleasant.

Nikki and John discuss language, conversing, and basic words. It’s excruciating.

Brie and Johnny Ace dump on JJ’s new dream of being a pro wrestler but surprisingly, Nikki’s is totally supportive because she knows he’s sick of working for mom.

And now that Brie is back she’s starting to see that Bryan’s one step away from being Michael Douglas in Falling Down so she’s finally on the same page as everyone else. Look, I started doing this because I thought it would be funny but seeing one of your favorite wrestlers legitimately spiral mentally is the worst. I hate this episode.

Now the whole family is crapping on JJ for being upset with his current job and being interested in pursuing other options. Non flip-flop options. So Kathy is mad at JJ, JJ is mad at Brie for not taking his side, John’s mad at Brie for throwing JJ under the bus, Johnny Ace is mad at family brunch for being a warzone, and Nikki just wants to get drunk, probably.
