Eva Marie announced her shocking return to WWE this past week on Monday Night RAW.
The former Total Divas star appeared during a vignette on Monday's broadcast on the USA Network. She revealed her upcoming return to RAW, declaring an upcoming "Eva-Lution" ahead of her return to the WWE Universe.
This marked the first time Eva Marie had been seen on WWE television since 2016 when she was a member of the SmackDown Live brand. While pursuing outside interests in film and TV, Eva Marie was released from her WWE contract in February 2017.
Now that "All Red Everything" has returned to WWE, it has led many to discuss what WWE creative will have planned for Eva Marie going forward on Monday Night RAW.
Will Marie be a full-time wrestler, a manager, a presenter or something completely different? Let's take a closer look at five directions for Eva Marie upon her WWE RAW return.
#5 Feud with Asuka on WWE RAW
Asuka has certainly had an interesting past 12 months on WWE television to say the least. She was awarded the RAW Women's Championship after Becky Lynch announced her pregnancy and vacated the title on Monday Night RAW.
This led to Asuka spearheading the RAW women's division for the remainder of the year. She feuded with the likes of Sasha Banks, Bayley, Zelina Vega, Mickie James, and Rhea Ripley over the title.
However, Asuka is currently without gold on WWE television. The Empress of Tomorrow lost the RAW Women's Championship at WrestleMania 37 Night Two when she was defeated by Rhea Ripley in an excellent encounter.
Asuka will receive another opportunity to reclaim the RAW Women's Championship at WrestleMania Backlash when she faces off against Rhea Ripley and Charlotte Flair in a triple threat match.
Should Asuka be unsuccessful in her pursuit of the title, perhaps she could then transition into a feud with Eva Marie on WWE television?
One major criticism of Eva Marie from the WWE Universe in the past has been centered around Marie's lack of in-ring experience and quality.
Perhaps matches and feuds with Asuka could help elevate Eva Marie to the next level in terms of in-ring work and help establish the former Total Divas star to the current WWE audience.
#4 Challenge for the WWE Women's Tag Team Championships
WWE Women's Tag Team Champions Nia Jax and Shayna Baszler have quickly become regular fixtures of both Monday Night RAW and Friday Night SmackDown in recent months.
Jax and Baszler are currently in their second reign as WWE Women's Tag Team Champions. They reclaimed the titles during the Royal Rumble Kick-Off show in January, defeating previous champions Asuka and Charlotte Flair.
During their two respective reigns, Nia Jax and Shayna Baszler have defeated the likes of Sasha Banks and Bayley, Naomi and Lana, Tamina and Natalya, and The Riott Squad to successfully defend their titles.
After defeating so many teams, one must wonder who is left for Nia Jax and Shayna Baszler to face on WWE television? Perhaps their next opponents could be the returning Eva Marie and a tag team partner of her choosing.
Eva Marie is yet to hold a championship during her WWE career, despite competing for the NXT Women's Championship previously during her time on the black and gold brand.
One direction for Eva Marie's return could see the former Total Divas star pair up with another female WWE Superstar on the Monday Night RAW roster to challenge Nia Jax and Shayna Baszler.
#3 Challenge Rhea Ripley for the WWE RAW Women's Championship
WWE RAW Women's Champion Rhea Ripley has certainly made an impact since debuting on the red brand earlier this year.
Only weeks after making her debut on RAW, Ripley defeated Asuka at WWE WrestleMania 37 Night Two to capture the RAW Women's Championship for the first time in her career.
The Nightmare is currently scheduled to defend her RAW Women's Championship against Asuka and Charlotte Flair in a triple threat match at WrestleMania Backlash later this month.
Should Rhea Ripley successfully defend her RAW Women's Championship, perhaps the former NXT star could shift her attention to Eva Marie.
Eva Marie has never held a singles title in WWE and having the former Total Divas star change that would certainly stir up some controversy on social media.
One of Eva Marie's greatest WWE matches came in NXT in 2015 when she challenged Bayley for the NXT Women's Championship. The storyline heading into the match was that "WWE officials" wanted Marie to win the championship for promotional and corporate purposes.
This led to various referee interferences and slow counts, seemingly indicating that Eva Marie would win. Despite the adversity, Bayley was able to defeat Marie and retain the NXT Women's Championship.
WWE could present a similar angle on Monday Night RAW, except this time it would pit Eva Marie against Rhea Ripley for the RAW Women's Championship.
#2 Become the manager for WWE RAW's Angel Garza
WWE Superstar Angel Garza is well known for chasing the affections of various females on Monday Night RAW. The Lethal Lothario has attempted to hand a rose to names such as Charly Caruso, Sarah Schreiber, and briefly The Bachelor's Demi Burnett on WWE television.
However, could the next name that Angel Garza turns his attention to be none other than Eva Marie?
Eva Marie's return to WWE has been somewhat of an open secret for the past few months. It was reported as far back as October 2020 that the former Total Divas star had re-signed with WWE.
During that period of time, Angel Garza began cutting promos and participating in vignettes in which he alluded to being a secret admirer of a mystery female. Some at the time speculated that the mystery female who had captured Garza's attention was Marie.
Now that Eva Marie has officially returned to WWE television, perhaps Angel Garza will once again begin discussing how he is admiring a mystery female from a distance. This could lead to Eva Marie becoming a valet or manager for the former NXT Cruiserweight Champion every Monday on RAW.
#1 Feud with WWE Superstar Alexa Bliss and Lilly
WWE WrestleMania 37 Night Two saw Alexa Bliss shockingly turn on her partner "The Fiend" Bray Wyatt in the opening match of the show against Randy Orton.
Since her shocking betrayal, Bliss has participated in a variety of strange "Alexa's Playground" segments on Monday Night RAW. During these segments, the former RAW Women's Champion introduced the WWE Universe to her "friend" known as Lilly.
Lilly is an incredibly creepy stuffed toy which slightly resembles Alexa Bliss' look and attire. This past week on Monday Night RAW, Alexa Bliss stated that Lilly and herself have finally selected their first victim in the RAW women's division.
While Bliss did not name specifically who Lilly had selected, the former partner of The Fiend did drop several hints as to who should be quickly looking over their shoulders going forward on WWE television.
Alexa Bliss revealed that Lilly's favorite color is red. Many within the WWE Universe have suggested this could be a hint that Bliss and Lilly have the recently returned Eva Marie in their crossheirs.
Billed for several years on WWE television as "All Red Everything", Eva Marie is synonymous with the color red. Could this mean that the former Total Divas star is set to feud with Alexa Bliss and Lilly on WWE television? Only time will tell.
