Eva Marie is finally back in WWE. She announced her return through a taped promo that aired on RAW last Monday. All Red Everything is ready to open a new chapter in her WWE career, which has seen many highs and lows.

Eva Marie first burst onto the scene in 2013 when WWE promoted her to the main roster following just two weeks of training at the Performance Center. She also starred in season one of WWE's reality show, Total Divas.

Despite her looks and athleticism, Eva Marie clearly had no in-ring skills. She participated in several matches alongside some of the best female wrestlers of all time but could never step up to their level.

The Red Queen became subject to harsh criticism forcing WWE to take action. The company took Eva Marie off WWE TV and sent her to train under former WWE Superstar Brian Kendrick's supervision.

Following her training, WWE sent Eva Marie to NXT, WWE's developmental brand at the time. She tasted some success there, defeating the likes of Billie Kay, Liv Morgan and Carmella. She also challenged Bayley for the NXT Women's Championship but lost.

The Red Queen's stint on NXT lasted a little less than a year. WWE then brought her back to RAW in early 2016 before drafting her to SmackDown. However, she never competed on the Blue brand. In August 2017, she announced her departure from WWE.
