WWE

Main roster (2013–2015)

In 2013, Marie signed with WWE and was assigned to the WWE Performance Center in Orlando, Florida, to begin her training. In May, she was announced as part of WWE and E!'s new reality show entitled Total Divas that would feature behind the scenes footage of select WWE Divas and a look into their personal lives.[12][17] Marie made her main roster debut on the July 1 episode of Raw, in a backstage segment along with her fellow Total Divas co-stars.[9] Marie accompanied Natalya to the ring on the July 4 episode of Superstars, where she defeated Naomi.[18]

Eva Marie, along with the cast of Total Divas appeared on MizTV on the July 22 episode of Raw, where she slapped Jerry Lawler, claiming to make a name for herself and establishing herself as a heel in the process.[19] Upon the debut of Total Divas program in July 2013, The Bella Twins began feuding with their co-star on the show, Natalya, with Marie becoming Brie's valet.[11][20][21][22][23] She also was her partner at Summerslam Axxess in a tag team match against Natalya and Maria Menounos.[11][24][25][26][27] The cast of Total Divas then transitioned into a scripted feud with WWE Divas Champion AJ Lee, who mocked the show and cast, turning both The Bellas and Marie faces in the process.[23][28] Marie competed in six-woman tag team matches,[29] including when Marie gained an upset victory over Tamina Snuka by pinning her, garnering her first pinfall victory.[30] Continuing their feud into November, the Total Divas defeated the "True Divas" (Alicia Fox, Aksana, AJ Lee, Kaitlyn, Rosa Mendes, Tamina Snuka and Summer Rae) in a traditional elimination tag team match at the Survivor Series pay-per-view,[31][32] and again on the subsequent Raw.[33]

Marie made her return to WWE after a nearly three-month absence on the February 14, 2014 episode of SmackDown, defeating Alicia Fox in her first singles match on WWE television.[34] The match, however, was cut from the broadcast.[35] After returning in early 2014, Marie began regularly participating in tag team matches, including getting a win over AJ Lee and Tamina Snuka.[36][37][38][39] On April 6, Marie made her WrestleMania debut when she participated at WrestleMania XXX in the 14-woman "Vickie Guerrero Invitational" match for the WWE Divas Championship, which was won by defending champion AJ Lee.[40][41] In late May, Marie was placed in a feud with the returning Summer Rae when Rae cost Marie a tag team match,[42] leading to Marie defeating Rae in her in-ring return after an interference by Fandango and Layla on the May 26 episode of Raw.[43]

Eva Marie was then placed in a feud with Divas Champion AJ Lee, facing AJ in two non-title matches on SmackDown and Raw, which AJ won.[44][45] In July, Marie became a heel when she became involved in Stephanie McMahon's ongoing storyline with The Bella Twins by regularly participating in handicap match as a part of McMahon's punishment against Nikki, including picking up the win for her team after a DDT.[46] Marie also participated in a staged match which ended in a beat down when Marie and Fox attacked Nikki.[47][48] Marie made her first appearance on NXT on August 7, where she was defeated by Bayley.[49] She faced Divas Champion AJ Lee in non-title bouts on the August 11 episode of Raw and August 15 episode of SmackDown.

On November 9, after a month of inactivity, Marie wrote on her Instagram account that she was recovering from an injury.[52] In the Total Divas episode "Twin Leaks", which aired on January 18, 2015, this injury was revealed to be a rupture in her breast implants.[53] Marie returned on the March 9 episode of Raw, accompanying Summer Rae to her match against AJ Lee.[54] She went on another hiatus shortly after in order to train with former WWE Tag Team Champion Brian Kendrick.[8]

On the January 13, 2016, episode of NXT, Marie competed in a number one contender's battle royal, which was won by Carmella.[69] On the February 10 episode of NXT, Marie attempted to get her revenge on Carmella by attacking her and Bayley with Nia Jax, until Asuka made the save.[70] Marie and Jax subsequently went on to defeat Bayley and Carmella in a tag team match on the February 24 episode of NXT.[71] After a brief hiatus, Marie made her return on the April 27 episode of NXT, facing off the NXT Women's Champion Asuka in a losing effort.[72]

Return to main roster (2016–present)

On the March 28 episode of Raw, Marie made her return to the main roster as a face helping her fellow Total Divas co-stars over an assault against Lana's then-allies; Naomi, Tamina, Emma and Summer Rae.[73] As a result, a 10-Diva tag team match between the Total Divas team (Brie Bella, Alicia Fox, Natalya, Eva and Paige) and the newly dubbed team B.A.D. & Blonde (Naomi, Tamina, Lana, Emma, and Rae) was announced for the WrestleMania 32's pay-per-view pre-show.[74] At the event on April 3, Eva's team won after Naomi submitted to Brie Bella.[75][76]
