WWE Rumor Review: Potential face turn for Roman Reigns, The Rock's in-ring return, Hell in a Cell Match on RAW

#3 WWE's plans for Eva Marie to return with an ally

WWE confirmed Eva Marie's return to the company in May last year, airing vignettes to promote it. There was quite a bit of speculation surrounding how she would be presented, either as a heel or a babyface.

WrestleVotes reported on their Twitter handle that plans for Marie included her having a "muscle" character of some sort by her side. The two names discussed for the reported role were Mercedes Martinez and Piper Niven.

While Martinez has since been released, Niven eventually debuted on the main roster alongside the returning Eva Marie. This report was confirmed when the former NXT UK star showed up on RAW, albeit with a new name - Doudrop.

Since defeating Naomi on Marie's behalf in June, Doudrop has gone from strength to strength on RAW. She turned babyface a few months later and feuded with the former Total Divas star, even defeating her twice.

Eva Marie is no longer with WWE, but Doudrop is doing well. She recently faced Becky Lynch for the RAW Women's Championship at the Royal Rumble. While she did not win the title, the Scottish star had a strong showing.
