#3 Eva Marie was a model before WWE

Eva Marie is well known in the WWE Universe for her run between 2013 and 2017. Of course, she returned to WWE in 2021 and was placed in a storyline with newcomer Doudrop.

Before WWE, Eva Marie was a sportsperson and secured a degree in Business Management. She moved to Los Angeles and eventually became a fitness and fashion model.

Eva Marie spoke with Naluda Magazine in 2016 about her time before WWE:

"I’ve been an athlete my entire life. I have always been into fitness. I was a soccer player in college and sports have always been a part of my life. Now fitness is part of my profession as a WWE Diva. As for beauty, I’ve always been intrigued by how fashion and beauty is used as a form of expression. Dying my hair red helped me figure out my character – a bold, fiery, determined and strong woman."

Eva's first taste of television with WWE came on the hit reality show Total Divas. Marie became an actor and social media influencer following her initial departure from WWE.
