WWE Planning To Push Eva Marie Over Lana?

Eva Marie is set for a huge push in the near future because WWE officials see a lot of potential in her, according to the Wrestling Observer Newsletter. She is being credited for working very hard in training with Brian Kendrick at WWE's Performance Center and working NXT live events as well as TV matches. It was noted that the push WWE originally wanted to give to Lana is about to be switched to Eva Marie.

Pushing Eva Marie seems to make a lot of sense from WWE's perspective because she's been one of the stars of Total Divas for the past two years and is one of the more recognisable female talents on the roster. The current storyline this season is that the women are mad at her for taking two years to finally wrestle and getting training on her own. The storyline plan will likely be something where she's the woman that everybody shunned for a couple years (she was signed in 2013) and made fun of for being awful, but then she works hard to gain people's respect, while turning into a superstar. Eva Marie has also recently signed a deal with super agent Brad Slater, who is also The Rock's agent. That's why a few months ago The Rock wrote a long Instagram message about her when she wished him a happy birthday a few months ago.

"Thank you to my homegirl Eva Marie for this very cool birthday message. What impresses me most about her is that she has a certain drive and determination that can only come from someone who knows what it's like to have been down and to have struggled. Eva's struggle has clearly created a fierce focus in her which is so cool to see and here's the best part... she's willin' to put in the daily hard ass work to achieve and accomplish all of her goals in -- and outside of the ring. It's a real pleasure working with and mentoring this woman. Road is long and we're just gettin' started.. Plus I gave my word to our agent @bslater9 that I'll make sure she always handles her business like a straight up G. #FutureWWEDivaChamp #OD #LetsGetToWork"

If she's got WWE in her corner and The Rock backing her, as long as she puts in the work to wrestle she's going to get very far in WWE.
