10 Signs WWE Divas Division Is About To Change
7. Eva Marie Is Learning To Wrestle
You're probably thinking that there's one glaring exception to the strong Divas division: Eva Marie. Since being hired by WWE in 2013 just in time to appear on the first season of Total Divas, Eva hasn't done much of anything. She's been tossed in a few matches where her lack of ability became glaringly apparent and she's been yanked off TV injury-free numerous times (with the exception of when her breast implants exploded). In two years, she's better known for her career as a reality TV star than a wrestler.
Eva actually admitted to company brass Vince McMahon and Triple H that she wanted to do better and learn how to wrestle, so Brian Kendrick was put in charge as her trainer. This spring, she began uploading videos to her Instagram of her literally learning the ropes with Kendrick. For weeks and weeks, fans were treated to short clips of Eva doing suicide dives, a top rope crossbody, springboard DDTs, and even Sliced Bread #2.
It's been hard to take Eva seriously up until now. She's seemed like a pretty face and very little else. However, she's learning a very effective wrestling arsenal with moves that the Divas division rarely sees. If she's allowed to return to TV and pulls out some of these top rope maneuvers, Eva could become one of the most impactful Divas of the 2010s.
