Eva Marie has finally returned to WWE following months of speculation. She should soon make her debut on Monday Night RAW.
The Red Queen spent four years in WWE between 2013 and 2017. She then parted ways with WWE to focus on her career elsewhere. During her first run, Eva Marie starred on WWE's reality show Total Divas. She had the chance to work on storylines with some of the biggest names in history, such as Natalya and The Bella Twins.
Despite lacking wrestling skills, Eva Marie competed in 108 matches during her first WWE run. She has a 50% winning percentage, including some major victories against a few top superstars.
Eva Marie defeated five former women's champions. Although a few of them have left WWE, others are still on the roster and are ready to settle the score with the returning superstar.
Here are five top superstars who Eva Marie surprisingly defeated in WWE.
#5. Eva Marie Def. Carmella
Carmella and Eva Marie know each other very well. They squared off several times in singles and tag team matches on NXT. Despite being a talented wrestler, Carmella never beat Eva Marie one-on-one.
The Princess of Staten Island took on The Red Queen six times in singles bouts and lost. Eva Marie is now on Monday Night RAW while Carmella is on SmackDown. They might not cross paths again soon, but it could happen in the years to come.
Carmella is no longer the rookie Eva Marie defeated on NXT. She has gained much more experience and established herself as one of the top WWE female superstars. The Princess of Staten Island is now a former WWE SmackDown Women's Champion and a former Ms. Money in the Bank.
Mella's latest victory came against Ruby Riott on last week's episode of SmackDown. She has expressed her desire to recapture the SmackDown Women's Championship since debuting her new bombshell gimmick.
#4. Eva Marie Def. Alexa Bliss
Eva Marie has returned to Monday Night RAW, where Alexa Bliss is terrorizing the women's division alongside her friend Lilly. Being on the same brand, Bliss could now find the opportunity to get back at Eva Marie, whom she has never defeated.
Eva Marie and Alexa Bliss shared the ring just three times before The Red Queen left WWE in 2017. Only once did they go one-on-one. They squared off at NXT Louder Than Life Festival 2015, where Eva Marie came out victorious.
Both superstars were drafted to SmackDown in 2016. Alexa Bliss went on to become one of the top superstars on the main roster. She captured the SmackDown Women's Championship twice and the RAW Women's Championship three times. She is also a two-time Women's Tag Team Champion.
Alexa Bliss is one of the most talented women on the WWE roster. It would be interesting to see her square off once more against Eva Marie. Based on what Bliss has achieved in WWE, it would be a shocking surprise if Eva Marie could beat The Goddess again.
#3. Eva Marie Def. Bayley
Eva Marie and Bayley are no strangers to one another. They had a heated rivalry over the NXT Women's Championship, which The Role Model held, in 2015.
The two superstars squared off ten times on NXT. Bayley emerged victorious in nine bouts but tasted defeat in one match. Bayley's loss against Eva Marie came in a tag team match where she teamed with Carmella to take on The Red Queen and Nia Jax.
Eva Marie and Bayley reignited their feud immediately following The Red Queen's return. Eva Marie referred to herself as a "super role model" in a video package that aired on Monday Night RAW.
Bayley, who is known as The Role Model, was quick to respond. She suggested the returning superstar call herself "Super Dumb" instead. Eva Marie replied with a tweet saying:
"Silly, DING-DONG, Don’t be upset that the student has become the master. Sincerely your SUPER Role Model."
Bayley also shared her thoughts on Eva Marie's return in an interview with Sportskeeda's Rick Ucchino:
"We have a past, we have a history, I've wrestled Eva Marie so many times, and I've actually had a lot of fun with her, she's one of my favorite people to be in the ring with. But that don't mean I'm gonna let you come in here and try to be the role model of WWE because there's only one! There's THE one, and it's Bayley."
Would you like to see Bayley and Eva Marie battle once more in a WWE ring?
#2. Eva Marie Def. Alicia Fox
Eva Marie and Alicia Fox have a long history. They squared off in the ring many times and teamed up a lot as well. However, they only went one-on-one twice in their careers.
The two superstars faced each other in a dark match on SmackDown in February 2014, where Eva Marie emerged victorious.
Their second singles match, however, came as part of a plot by Stephanie McMahon. During her feud with Brie Bella, The Boss' daughter wanted to punish her rival's twin sister Nikki. She appointed her as a special guest referee in a match between Alicia Fox and Eva Marie.
As expected, Fox and Marie teamed up to attack Nikki Bella instead of wrestling with each other. Their match officially ended in a draw.
Alicia Fox has been absent from in-ring competition since the Royal Rumble. Fox was present on stage with WWE's active superstars at WrestleMania 37 last month during WWE Chairman Vince McMahon's opening speech.
Although WWE has moved Alicia Fox's profile to the Alumni section on its official website, her return is not impossible. She could go after the self-proclaimed 'Super Role Model' to settle the score.
#1. Eva Marie Def. AJ Lee
Eva Marie and former Divas Champion AJ Lee engaged in a heated rivalry in mid-2014. They exchanged victories over one another across four singles bouts.
In June 2014, Eva Marie squared off against AJ Lee twice. To no one's surprise, The Red Queen lost both bouts. However, a surprise came a month later, when Eva Marie defeated AJ Lee in two consecutive matches.
As Paige distracted Lee, Eva Marie rolled up The Black Widow to earn her first victory over the then-Divas Champion. Her second win came via count-out after Lee went out to chase Paige and failed to return to the ring before the referee's ten count.
AJ Lee retired from pro wrestling in 2015. In her last match, she teamed up with Naomi and Paige to defeat The Bella Twins and Natalya.
The former Divas Champion is unlikely to return to WWE anytime soon. Therefore, the WWE Universe might never witness the two superstars square off again. Eva Marie's victories over AJ Lee remain some of her biggest achievements in WWE.
