Could we see the return of Eva Marie?
Eva Marie is one of the more controversial figures to come into the WWE in the past 15 years. She first made her presence known in 2013 as one of the core members of Total Divas. There was instant heat on Marie from the moment she stepped foot into a WWE ring. Fans felt that she was a woman from the diva’s era that didn’t mesh well with the current generation of talent.
Eva stayed with the company for five years, with her even going back down to NXT for more training. Just when it seemed that the Total Divas star was improving inside of the ring, Marie left the company in 2017.
Fast forward to 2020 and Eva Marie made her return. This time it was with Doudrop (aka Piper Niven) and the alliance between those two women didn’t last long. However, Eva had a highly memorable segment during her second stint. But not in a good way. It was an Alexa’s Playground segment where the former WWE Women’s Champion’s doll tripped Eva Marie. Yes, you read that correctly.
Nevertheless, Eva’s second stint didn’t last long as she was released in 2021. It’s been four years since her release and the 40-year-old hasn’t done anything in the wrestling world since. However, that doesn’t mean Eva is done with wrestling. In a interview with Ring The Belle, the former WWE star stated that she would come back in a heartbeat if given the opporunity.
"So, because words mean a lot, and I feel like you can speak whatever you want into existence. I love WWE. I'm very grateful to WWE. I love the WWE Universe. I mean, I feel like you can't get enough of the Evaution. I would love to come back and stir things up. There's nothing better than going out there and ruffling some feathers. So, yeah, the possibility, for sure, it's always possible."
It would be surprising if Eva Marie made a WWE return, but anything is surely possible. The former WWE star hasn't done anything wrestling related since her release, which likely gives WWE less incentive to rehire her. If Eva got some more experience under her belt by working the independent scene then it would've really showed her dedication to professional wrestling. But as I previously stated, anything can happen and we could see the beginning stages of Eva Marie’s WWE return. Obviously, we’ll just have to wait and see what happens in the future.
