Eva Marie has always been a controversial figure in WWE, with many fans not wanting to see her on television. This was especially true during her return in 2021, which sparked a lot of backlash. However, it appears that WWE made significant changes to their original plans for her during that run.
While speaking to Ring the Belle, Eva Marie revealed that her 2021 WWE return was originally planned to be very different from what ultimately happened. She explained that the storyline was supposed to last much longer and focus on a partnership where she would act as a mentor.
The idea was for her and Piper Niven to be positioned against everyone else, with her playing a condescending but influential role. This dynamic would eventually lead to a major moment where her protg would stand up to her, creating a big payoff for the audience.
Eva Marie revealed that her role was initially meant to be more of a mouthpiece rather than actually wrestling in matches. She compared it to Vickie Guerreros managerial style, where she would do minimal wrestling while primarily building up her ally.
However, plans suddenly changed, and she found herself in a different position than expected. Despite the change, she accepted the changes and adapted to what was given to her.
Eva Marie was released from WWE back in 2021, and since then she has worked asmovie star and in other projects. Even Piper Niven previously admitted she missed working with Eva Marie. Regardless, Maries time in WWE will be memorable for one reason or another and thats never changing.
