Eva Marie left WWE back in 2017 after a year on the sidelines following her suspension for violating the company's Wellness Policy.
The WWE Universe was surprised to see The Red Queen advertised on RAW a few weeks ago. She is now set to make her return in the near future.
The main event scene of the women's division is much more competitive than the one that Marie left almost four years ago with the addition of the Tag Team Championships. It's currently unclear where Marie will fit in on Monday Night RAW, but she has already shown that she has a new Eva-Lution storyline that could allow her to align herself with several current superstars.
When Marie finally makes her return to WWE, there are several reasons why she could return as either a heel or a face on Monday Night RAW.
#5. Eva Marie should return as a heel since she already has heat with the WWE Universe
Eva Marie joined WWE back in 2013 after winning that year's Diva Search. Instead of winning a WWE contract, the winners of the 2013 Diva Search were given a place on Total Divas when season one made its debut on the E! Network.
Marie later debuted on TV and was then pushed into several different feuds in the women's division despite not having a lot of experience in the ring. Many fans were then vocal about the fact that Marie had skipped the usual training that many other women were forced to go through.
Eva Marie garnered heat from both the WWE Universe and her fellow female wrestlers throughout her time on TV and as part of Total Divas.
Before Marie left the company, she had a short-lived storyline on SmackDown where she tried to play on the heat that she had from the WWE Universe. This storyline saw Marie finding ways to avoid having to wrestle, which worked well for her until her suspension.
The WWE Universe remembers this version of Eva Marie and it has meant that the former Total Divas star has already gained a lot of that heat once again before making her return.
If Marie returned as a heel, she could garner heat the same way she did on SmackDown, especially if she makes her return in front of a live audience.
#4. Eva Marie should return to WWE as a face to turn over a new leaf
Eva Marie isn't the same character that she was on WWE TV back in 2017. The four years Marie spent in WWE allowed her to push forward in her acting career and she has now opted to make her return.
This time around, Eva Marie has pink hair, which means that she will no longer be known as The Red Queen and use the "All Red Everything" slogan.
WWE has gone through a lot of changes since Marie was last contracted to the company, and it's clear that the star herself has as well. If Marie returned as a heel, fans would assume that she's the same person that she was four years ago and wouldn't be interested in allowing her to show her progress.
There are also several women in the company who were not there four years ago when Marie was released. As such, she could easily be handed a clean slate in a feud with any of these stars.
#3. Eva Marie should return to WWE as a heel with a personal instructor/motivational speaker storyline
Eva Marie has only been seen in short video packages on WWE programming over the past few weeks, where the star has shown off her promo ability.
The former Total Divas star has also already shown glimpses of the character that she could be handed upon her return. Marie's training regime has become a huge part of her new character and she's made it clear that she wants to inspire other women to follow in her footsteps.
The Eva-Lution could be all about Marie teaching other women on the roster to be like her and to follow in her footsteps to achieve some impressive results.
This personal trainer storyline has been done in WWE several times and can easily allow Eva Marie to be framed as a heel character. This character and storyline would also allow the former star to capitalize on the heat that she already has from the WWE Universe but push it into a new direction.
#2. Eva Marie should return to WWE as a face and show off her in-ring ability
Eva Marie's in-ring ability was called into question several times throughout her first run in WWE. The former model and actress was forced to go through training while the WWE Universe waited in order to critique what she was able to achieve.
This put Marie under a microscope and made it hard for her to move forward in her career since the WWE Universe was not prepared to allow her to show signs of improvement.
Over the past four years, Eva Marie has made a lot of progress away from prying eyes. If she's able to show that she's a credible threat in WWE, then many fans will change their opinion. Marie just has to prove that she can fit in with the current Women's Division and it's a throwback to the Diva Era.
Eva Marie will have spent time training ahead of her return. If she can have one fantastic match upon her return, then it could spark a new beginning for the star.
#1. Eva Marie should return as a heel and pick up where she left off with the women in WWE
Several women have remained in WWE following Eva Marie's exit, which would easily allow her to step into a heel feud upon her return.
The likes of Natalya, Charlotte, Lana, and Naomi all remain on Monday Night RAW and could be part of a feud with Eva Marie when she makes her return.
It's unclear whether or not WWE will bring Marie's past into her new character since she has returned with the same name and it was only four years ago.
If the company was to extend the character, she could step into a feud with one of the women who remember Marie from her first run. This would either allow Marie to return as a heel or transition into a face slowly over time.
It would also allow Eva Marie to address the character that she once was and show that she isn't the same person. Marie can show that she has gotten better inside the ring and on the mic, which would definitely help her silence the detractors.
