The Truth Behind Eva Marie's WWE Transformation
The former All Red Everything speaks on changing her look before returning to WWE Raw.
Switching her image up was a big part of Eva Marie's WWE return this spring, with the former 'All Red Everything' swapping her trademark hair colouring for pink when her Eva-Lution vignettes started airing in May.
The Raw wrestler spoke on this in a recent interview with TV Insider's Scott Fishman, stating that she wanted to switch things up in order to stand out more:-
“All red everything was definitely something that put me on the map. It’s the best decision I ever made because it really made me stand out from the other girls. When you look back at that time, nobody really had colored hair. I was the only girl on the roster that had this crazy-colored hair. Now looking at the roster, it’s a Crayola box. Coming back, the pink is a little bit in that red wheelhouse but different. It’s Eva Marie 2.0. Still vibrant and colorful, but different yet the same. Mixing the old with the new.”
Though she had been away from WWE television for close to five years before she returned, Eva has largely picked up where she left off, playing a variation of the old meta-troll gimmick used to draw mega heat through feuds with beloved NXT stars Asuka and Bayley.
Eva's ongoing partnership with Doudrop has drawn a split response from fans and critics. For now, this matters little: Vince McMahon is reportedly a huge fan.
