Eva Marie Says She’s Open to a WWE Return

Eva Marie was interviewed by toofab.com and sort of “teased” that she’d be open to returning to WWE, I guess. Though she is still listed as part of WWE’s roster on WWE.com, it was reported last month that she is pretty much done with wrestling.

Would you return for a WWE event in the future?

Oh my goodness, for sure. WWE, for me, is where it all started. You never know, I could show up on a Monday Night Raw, I could come down to SmackDown Live and snatch that title real quick. Never leave me out, you never know what’s creeping around the corner, if you know what I mean.

Do you think we’ll see you pop up on “Total Divas” ever?

You never know. It’s definitely a possibility. I love that show and I think everybody needs a little bit of Natalie Eva Marie in their life, so why not spread it everywhere.

She also sort of made it clear that WWE was just a stepping stone for her to get into “Hollywood” and credited The Rock with helping her get her role:

Why was now the right time to venture into the acting world?

It’s always been something I was definitely interested in and the opportunity came about at the perfect time. Luckily, for me, when I started WWE, my husband and I were like, if I can get in front of The Rock’s agent and manager, that would be a dream. He’s made the transition from WWE into Hollywood so fantastically. He is the guy right now.

A year later, it just so happens that it fell into place and I ended up having a meeting with his agent, then his manager, then I talked with Dwayne for an hour and everybody signed off on me and I signed with his exact team. I was with the right people so I could go in and audition for this film. I read the script, I went into the audition and ended up meeting with the producer, the director and it all worked out and now we’re here.

Did The Rock give you any advice?

Yes, he’s awesome. I literally couldn’t ask for a better mentor. He’s done exactly what I’m trying to do, he gets it. Going into an audition or putting yourself on tape, it’s not the easiest thing to do especially because an audition is usually a camera and one person and then you have to bring to life this character. His advice to me is do the work, always put 110% effort into whatever it is that I’m doing, especially when it comes to these auditions and bringing these characters to life.
