Welp. Time to dig this baby back up. 9 months late, but we're here. I've seen a bunch of people on twitter complaining about this and seemingly aiming their ire directly at Eva. Like if Eva told them that she'd only join if they fired Mickie and the IIconics... I mean she herself didn't do anything wrong but I can see why fans would feel those three have been done wrong, being cut for "budget cuts" to save room for someone who to be frank isn't good at anything and hasn't even been involved in the business at all in the four years she's been gone. It is really unfair.

Eva Marie was signed before the latest batch of releases. Let's make that clear now.
The problem is that she is an absolutely horrid wrestler and the exact opposite of what women's wrestling should be.

It's absolutely not Eva Marie's fault at all that she has a job and others don't.
But it does show how WWE thinks. Mickie, Peyton, and Billie all have more upsides than she does.

They bring back Eva Marie and push the likes of Nia and Tamina while women far more talented with far more upside get cut or can't even get on TV. It's so stupid.

This absolutely has Johnny Ace's fingerprints all over it. It's pretty telling the only women's division treated seriously in WWE is NXT. And even that's slipping since Raquel is a complete bust as champion SO FAR. I know the NXT tweet promoting her watchalong of her title win tomorrow got heavily ratioed and dunked on.

I don’t know why Johnny Ace and Bruce Pritchard are allowed to ruin women’s divisions again and again, but it’s getting hella annoying.

I've really never understood the dislike for Eva Marie. It's not her fault that she wasn't great in the ring - if anything quite the opposite given she wanted to improve and they basically wouldn't give her the chance to - and she has a pretty undeniable charisma about her.

Yeah, she asked multiple times if she could go to the PC to train... and they kept telling her no because Jojo the other person they hired to join Total Divas already went to the PC and they wanted at least one of them to still be on TV each week... so of course she was shit in the ring... They eventually relented but I think that was after Kendrick offered to teach her or Eva found Brian was willing to teach her... whichever way that worked. Furthermore she was at least competent in her NXT run... where the point was that she was basically the Diva in the Women's Revolution.

Furthermore she was at least competent in her NXT run... where the point was that she was basically the Diva in the Women's Revolution. Maybe she did ask for more training or whatever back in the day but at the same time in the four years she was out of the company do you know how many matches she's wrestled? Try zero. Doesn't exactly sound like someone who is really that dedicated or has any interest in improving. Yet they still hire her back while far more talented women who have been busting their ass for them in the mean time have been released or don't get used and can't buy a break. According to cagematch her last match was almost FIVE years ago. It was a loss to Becky Lynch on a July 2016 house show and she wasn't released until the following year so I guess they just didn't use her at for her last year there. Also on top of that it's not like she's a spring chicken either as she turns 37 this year. Ok she's hot so what. There's a lot women are in WWE or were recently that that look just as good, are much more talented, and can actually have a competent match and yet they can't be bothered. It makes no sense.

Eva Maria was the lone lady signing autographs at my WrestleMania Axxess time, and she was a total sweetheart to every single person who came up. I’ve always liked her, but even moreso after that.

Twitter roasted WWE for hiring Eva Marie back but firing Mickie, Billie, and Peyton for zero reason
And they earned it.

And Johnny Ace had nothing to do with any of this. Just for further reiteration, Eva Marie has been under contract and training since 2019 and Johnny Ace has nothing to do with her being hired or the others being fired.

With the state of the main roster womens divisions bringing back Eva Marie to fill out a roster spot seems more than appropriate and very indicitive of where those divisions are sadly headed.
