Indy darling Eva Marie to host a new series showcasing independent wrestling.

Having stepped away from WWE and the wrestling business back in 2017, Eva Marie is now set to host a new TV series centred on women in the pro wrestling industry.

It’s been announced that the former WWE diva will be hosting a NowThisOriginals series titled Faces & Heels.

The show will premiere on Thursday, July 30 over on Eva Marie’s Facebook page, with the focus to be on seven independent wrestlers who are trying to make a name for themselves in the wrestling business. Because who would know better about scratching and clawing on the indy scene that Eva Marie, right…?

Eva Marie has since taken to her Instagram page to promote Heels & Faces.

With no background in professional wrestling, Eva Marie spotted a WWE casting call back in 2013 and soon found herself inserted into the first season of Total Dives.

After just two weeks of formal wrestling training, the California native found herself shot straight to the Raw roster. Over the next several years, Eva would be used intermittently on the main roster and NXT – before the crimson-haired grappler officially parted ways with WWE in August 2017.
