Eva Marie’s WWE career in 2016 (draft pick #51)
One of the biggest moments of Eva Marie’s WWE career came in April 2016 when she teamed with four of her fellow Total Divas cast members – Alicia Fox, Brie Bella, Natalya & Paige – to defeat Emma, Lana, Naomi, Summer Rae & Tamina on the WrestleMania 32 kickoff show.
Three months later, the fitness model-turned-WWE Superstar became involved in an ongoing storyline on SmackDown Live after being sent to the brand in the 2016 draft.
Every week, she would find an excuse for why she could not compete in a match against Superstars including Becky Lynch and Naomi. The storyline was supposed to lead to Marie participating in a six-woman tag team match at SummerSlam 2016, but she was suspended by WWE for violating the company’s Wellness Policy.
Eva Marie’s career in 2019
One year after her initial push on SmackDown, Eva Marie mutually agreed to part ways with WWE in August 2017.
Speaking to Pro Wrestling Sheet’s Ryan Satin in October 2018, the former Total Divas star revealed that she wants to return to the squared circle one day and face the likes of Ronda Rousey and Alexa Bliss in title matches.
“I feel like I do have unfinished business there. Ultimately, everyone – I think it would be silly if you didn’t say this – but, you know, you want the title.”
Nowadays, Marie is concentrating on her acting career and modelling during her time away from wrestling.
