Latest on Eva Marie’s Training and Return to the Ring

New reports have provided the latest on Eva Marie’s training and return to the ring soon. As previously reported, the “Total Divas” star, and perceived failed wrestler, has been training with Brian Kendrick in hopes of being able to return to in-ring competition and not look so green and lost.

Eva Marie was a model hired to star in WWE and E!’s “Total Divas,” who was then thrust into matches way to early beginning in 2013. Eva Marie continued to compete in matches until 2014, failing to progress when she stepped between the ropes, even gaining some heat behind-the-scenes for how she worked and her attitude.

In an effort to get her more prepared for in-ring action and to gain her respect as a competitor, Kendrick has been intensively working with Eva Marie. As previously reported, Eva Marie and WWE have been posting videos of her training through different forms of social media.

Dave Meltzer of the Wrestling Observer Newsletter claims that Kendrick’s hopes is that fans and fellow talent alike will begin to respect her for going through this much training. He writes,

“Eva Marie, who has been out of the ring due to surgery, has been doing one-on-one training with Brain Kendrick to prepare for her return. As noted last week, WWE has ideas that Eva Marie and Lana can be big stars, and apparently Lana is a very good athlete. She’s been in a manager role from the start so nobody knows how good she can be in the ring, and I’m not sure in the ring is what they mean by big star for either, but obviously Eva will be reintroduced soon as a wrestler.

Kendrick said that he’s teaching her all styles, focusing on matches with Super Crazy and Tajiri from ECW (Super Crazy is one of Kendrick’s favorites because he was able to make it in the U.S., Mexico and Japan, as did Tajiri for that matter), old ECW tapes and All Japan women tapes. One person familiar with her training told us that he is about to get people to respect her.”

Editor’s Note:

I guess time will tell whether or not the training pays off. I hope it does for her sake. I don’t want to have to write a report after her in-ring return referencing how you can’t polish a turd and get anything better than…a turd.
