In a moment during RAW that could be classified as a "surprise that probably shouldn't be a surprise," Eva Marie was revealed as the final member of Team Total Divas which will compete at WrestleMania against Lana, Naomi, Tamina, Emma and Summer Rae. Team Total Divas is comprised of Brie Bella, Natalya, Paige, Alicia Fox, and Eva Marie. Several members of the other team have also been featured on Total Divas in the past, notably Naomi and Summer Rae, though they are no longer cast members. While the Total Divas group has also been called Team Bella, it's been pretty clear that the group was put together because of their partnership on the E! reality show. Because of this, the Eva Marie surprise really shouldn't have been that unexpected. Even so, social media blew-up with negative comments the minute Eva walked out on the RAW stage. The WWE's Twitter account didn't help matters when they wrote "she's baaaaack" prompting many of us to wonder when has she really ever "been there"? https://twitter.com/WWE/status/714643074857701376 Eva has been working hard at the WWE Performance Center and as part of NXT following a much publicized round of training with Brian Kendrick in California (which was documented on Total Divas). Despite the hours of work Eva has put in, she is still obviously a work in progress which is where the criticism of her placement on the WrestleMania card comes in. Many fans were wondering why Eva was used rather than someone like Bayley, easily the top women's wrestler in NXT. However, it would probably be a mistake to have Bayley debut in a 10 person tag team match that really, when it comes down to it, doesn't mean a whole lot. Bayley's main roster debut should be a bigger deal than that.
