Eva Marie was recently released from WWE after returning to the company in June. After being off-screen for more than a year, the former Total Divas star was initially released from WWE back in 2017.

Marie was suspended in the summer of 2016 for violating WWE's Wellness Policy and was then released from the company a year later. Marie has since worked on several movies and piqued Vince McMahon's interest.

Marie returned to WWE back in June in her new look. She was accompanied by NXT UK star Piper Niven aka Doudrop.

After a short-lived alliance with Doudrop and a brief feud with Alexa Bliss, Marie was attacked by Shayna Baszler and sidelined to work in a movie.

Once again, while on hiatus from the company, Eva Marie learned of her release last night as part of the most recent budget cuts on November 4th.
