While Eva Marie is known as a wrestling superstar, some would say that she has had more success with mainstream media than she has in the ring. Marie was quick to acknowledge this, and says that she has the same goals as Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson.
“After a few months [in WWE] I was like ‘OK, if I could emulate The Rock’s career that would be fantastic to make a crossover like how he’s done,’” Eva told International Business Times. “I really want to take the Eva Marie Brand and do both [wrestling and movies] for as long as I can.”
In addition to her duties both in WWE and in Hollywood, Marie has also launched her own clothing line, NEM Fashion.
“I really wanted to create something that not only was affordable, but trendy and feels good,” said Eva, who will donate a portion of the line’s profits to her NEM Foundation, which promotes self-love and positive body image for women.
“I myself have gone through a lot of trials and tribulations with insecurity and body dysmorphia, and stuff like that. So creating a clothing line, it’s not just about the clothes and fashion. Of course, I love the quality and things of that nature, but it’s also about self-love and promoting that for young women.”
Eva Marie has been away from WWE for a few months, as she has been filming “Inconceivable” with Nicolas Cage. But what can her fans expect to see when she finally returns to the ring?
“I’ve put in the work so I do think I’m ready to come back and shake things up because I think the WWE Universe is tired of seeing something repeated, meaning some people possibly going against each other. There’s not one person like Eva Marie, and I definitely think that I’ve shown that, and I think that’ll be a huge dynamic when I come back.”
