What’s the story?
Jackie Chan is no stranger to iconic films. Although best known for his ability to pull his own stunts in his films, he had a task unlike any other: facing a former WWE talent in his latest film.
The movie, “Skiptrace,” which also stars Johnny Knoxville, has added a familiar face to the silver screen; former WWE Diva Eve Torres.
In this film, Torres plays a character named Dasha, who gets into a scuffle with Chan, which most likely indicates that she plays a villainous role in the film based on her background in Mixed Martial Arts.
In case you didn’t know:
Eve Torres has a background in Brazilian jiu-jitsu and even teaches the martial art in Los Angeles. She has a background in modelling and dancing, which includes being a cheerleader for the Los Angeles Clippers.

After entering the 2007 Divas Search, she ended up winning the competition which earned her a WWE contract. She had her first match in 2009, and also served as an Executive Administrator role on Raw, which is a storyline role similar to what a current General Manager of the show does.
The Heart of the Matter:
In 2015, Eve Torres starred in the film “The Scorpion King 4: Quest for Power”, playing the role of “Chancara.” It was her first acting role that she starred in as a different character. She previously played herself in the movie, “Queens of the Ring.”
Recently, she was seen making a cameo appearance in the CW Television show, Supergirl.
What’s Next?
After an impressive 2016, which saw her starring in a film alongside Jackie Chan and appearing on an episode of “Supergirl”, Eve Torres is well on her way to a successful movie career, considering her background in both acting and modelling.
Sportskeeda’s Take:
Eve definitely has the look of a star. As she continues to take on roles whenever she can land them, it will only benefit her stock as she reaches to the next level in the film industry.
