It has been nearly a month since WWE first started to air vignettes for the return of Eva Marie. Since then, several videos have aired which have pushed the notion that she will serve as a manager or a motivator to a fellow talent. This seems to be the exact case.
According to a report by Fightful Select, the plan as of now is not for Eva Marie to return as an in-ring competitor. Fightful has been told that the plan is to use her as a vehicle to help get another female talent over. This plan has been in the works long before her vignettes started to air and confirms that her return is in no way a response to WWE recently releasing other female talent.
There is no word on who the female talent is that Eva Marie will be paired up with.
There have been various reports of her training at the WWE Performance Center and she even gave a shout out to Norman Smiley for his coaching. Once rumors started to swirl that Eva Marie would be back, she had previously stated that she would return to WWE when the time was right and if it made sense.

This week’s IMPACT certainly had the Knockouts division going after one another. The advertised match for tonight’s show had Tenille Dashwood in singles action against Kiera Hogan.
Dashwood teamed up with Taylor Wilde at Under Siege and the duo defeated Susan and Kimber Lee. Wilde is still not feeling being in a tag team and has one goal since coming out of retirement and back in the ring for the first time in a decade. That goal is to become Knockouts Champion. Wilde is also not about cheating and both Dashwood and Kaleb with a K have proven that’s how they roll.
Dashwood let Wilde know about her one-one-one match against Hogan and said if she is victorious that may open up them as a team to go after the Knockouts Tag Team Titles. Although Wilde still wasn’t on board, Dashwood would go on to face Hogan and come out with a victory.
After the match, chaos erupted. Tasha Steelz attacked Dashwood behind as she was trying to celebrate. Kaleb would then get involved to try and even the odds. Things then began to break down as Susan, Kimber Lee, and Knockouts Champion Deonna Purrazzo rushed to the ring. It then became a five-on-one scenario as the five women in the ring were attacking Dashwood.
Just when we think that Dashwood doesn’t have any allies in the division, out comes Wilde. She went right after Purrazzo to signify she is coming for the title. The numbers advantage was still too much which caused Havok to make her way out. Havok recently lost to Purrazzo and was unable to capture the title at Under Siege.
Lastly, Rosemary and the rest of Decay made their way out to the stage to end the segment to show their solidarity with Havok, Wilde, and Dashwood. Purrazzo and the rest of the gang ran for safety.
With the majority of the Knockouts division partaking in this segment, the women were not done for the evening. Jordynne Grace had a one-on-one match against her friend and tag team partner, Rachael Ellering.
As the match goes on, Ellering begins to build momentum. She hits a jumping European uppercut and follows it up with a senton to get a near fall. After avoiding a Vader Bomb by Grace, both women exchange pin attempts until Ellering finally gets the three count for the win.
After the match, the two embrace. The team lost the Knockouts Tag Team Titles at Under Siege after only holding the gold for a few weeks. Grace was the one to ask for this one-on-one match in an attempt to get things back on track. She Tweeted after the match that she is 100% fine…not sure if that is convincing.
Lastly, there was an updated promo for the upcoming Slammiversary event that takes place in July. Just like IMPACT did last year, they put together a promo of the event teasing names of recently released WWE talent. In that included Chelsea Green, Mickie James, and The IIconics. Previously only showing the Australian flag to hint at The IIconics, we now have the “II” symbol showing up in the vignette.
On last week’s NXT UK, Meiko Satomura replaced Xia Brookside in the gauntlet match, and went on to earn another shot at the NXT UK Women’s Championship.

The week before this, Amale attacked Brookside, seemingly to replace her in the five-woman match. However, this clearly backfired as Satomura replaced the star. NXT UK management then revealed that the pair would be going head-to-head once Brookside had recovered from her injuries.
The time came for the two to face off on this week’s NXT UK. The bout between the two women got off with a frenzied start, and Brookside grabbed Amale by the hair and dragged her across the ring.
The action between the pair spilled over to the outside of the NXT UK ring, and this is when Amale gathered more momentum. The French Hope rammed her rival into the ring apron, before throwing her back into the ring and attempting a pin. Brookside kicked out. Amale got another near-fall when she hit Brookside with a savage strike to the face.
This brought Brookside back to having the upper hand in the match. She hit Amale with a series of strikes, followed up with a sharp dropkick which she followed up with headscissors. This combo sent Amale crashing to the mat.
Amale recovered from this, and came back with more strikes on her opponent. She then attacked her rival with a powerful-looking spinebuster slam to pin her rival and take home the win.
This was the only women’s match on NXT UK this week. However, a vignette was shown of Aoife Valkyrie. In the clip, the star mused over Satomura ending her previous winning streak. As the NXT UK Superstar explored woodland, she claimed that she was coming for Satomura in the future, and vowed to beat her.
