2 Names Rumoured To Be "Muscle" For Eva Marie's WWE Return
The Eva-lution looks set to add one of THESE two names to its ranks.
With Eva Marie now firmly back in the WWE fold, it looks as if All Red Everything could be having some muscle alongside her when she finally turns up live and in living colour on WWE programming.
As first reported by the usually reliable @WrestleVotes, WWE has plans to place either NXT's Mercedes Martinez or NXT UK's Piper Niven with Marie, seemingly to add a physical presence to the Eva-lution.
Hearing the plans for Eva Marie’s return include her having a “muscle” of some sorts by her side. The two names I’ve heard most discussed to pair w/ her are Mercedes Martinez -OR- NXT UK star Piper Niven.

This initial report was followed up by Sean Ross Sapp of Fightful adding how he’s heard it will be Niven who’ll be the one seen at the side of Eva Marie.
Niven is the plan I'd heard of as a few weeks ago, but plans do change, pal https://t.co/5Hf8VXkA7y

Having signed with WWE in 2013, the Red Queen remained with the company up until 2017, flitting between Total Divas, NXT, the main roster or just being completely absent from TV during that four-year run.
More recently, Eva Marie’s WWE return was confirmed last month when the 3 May episode of Raw ran a vignette hyping Eva and her Eva-lution. In the weeks since then, Raw has continued to air similar vignettes, all positioning Marie as a celebrity looking to help others – although she has yet to appear live on WWE programming as of yet.
