Eva Marie’s heavily-advertised return to WWE television will take place on tonight’s Monday Night Raw, and the company officially announced hours before that she’ll compete against former SmackDown Women’s Champion Naomi in her first bout. Marie hasn’t been in any type of match since a July 2016 live event against Becky Lynch. A month later she was hit with a 30-day suspension for a WWE Wellness Policy violation, prompting her to disappear from television. She wouldn’t announce her departure from the company until the following July but would start talking about a return in interviews roughly two years later.
The New Face of Monday Night Raw is in the building ! Feels amazing to be back 💨🚀🔥⚡️-@WWE
