Eva Marie returned to WWE television on Raw, having departed the company in 2017. Her return came in the form of a video vignette in which she asks fans, “do I have your attention?” and “this is Eva-Lution.” Since then, it has been revealed that “Eva-Lution” wasn’t just a throwaway line, and it is going to be a part of her gimmick as the company filed a trademark application for the term on Monday.
Marie is expected to receive a big push, and she has been hard at work at the Performance Center working on her in-ring abilities, which is something she was criticized for in the past. Her return attracted a lot of attention on social media, with the name trending on Twitter for a considerable amount of time. Many fans were pleased to see her making her WWE comeback, and she would trend on Twitter well into Tuesday. However, at the same time, many questioned the logic of releasing Chelsea Green, Mickie James, Peyton Royce, and Billie Kay and then having Marie return. It should be noted though Marie had been re-signed with the company since October last year, and the company was waiting for the right time to re-introduce her.
Marie initially joined WWE in 2013, having signed a developmental contract, and quickly got a role on the E! reality show Total Divas. This also led to her being rushed to the main roster. She’d eventually disappear from television to train with Brian Kendrick to improve her in-ring ability. She’d go on to appear on NXT in 2015 and then returned to the main roster in 2016. She’d depart the company due to focusing on other projects, and competed on Celebrity Big Brother, became an ambassador for Monster Energy’s Reign brand, and launched a fashion range with Ryderwear in Australia.
