Doudrop and Eva Marie
WWE Chairman Vince McMahon impressed with Eva Marie and Doudrop pairing
Vince McMahon is reportedly pleased with the storyline brewing between Doudrop and Eva Marie after their introduction on WWE RAW a few weeks ago.
“We’re going to see a lot of Eva Marie and Doudrop, because Vince apparently loves the end goal. I was told he’s super impressed with Piper Niven so far,” says Mike Johnson of the PWInsider. (h/t Heel by Nature)
“The story I was told to me was, ‘he wasn’t sold on the idea, but let’s do it’. Then after that first week, where Piper stood up to her. He loved it, he loved the facial expressions. Obviously, I’m paraphrasing stories I heard from multiple people. There’s going to be a lot more storyline development with these characters in the weeks ahead.”
The former NXT UK Superstar Piper Niven debuted alongside Eva Marie after her long awaited return to face Naomi. Niven, now called Doudrop faced Naomi in singles action and beat her convincingly.
Tempers began to flare after their tag team loss in a MITB qualifying match to Asuka and Naomi. Both Marie and Doudrop have left their partners hanging in matches since then, causing the tensions to rise.
McMahon has been trying to shake things up in the women’s division with the re-signing of Zelina Vega on WWE SmackDown.
The pairing has shared some interesting chemistry over the last few weeks which could potentially set them for a significant rise on the red brand. Doudrop also comes with the experience of facing WWE Raw Women’s Champion Rhea Ripley on NXT UK in the past. She will be optimistic of eventually moving into singles action.
Marie, meanwhile has seen a lot of considerable ups and down since joining WWE. Her 4-year absence did not do much for her stock to rise, but that could be changing. The new gimmick of ‘EVA-lution’ could well be the start of something big.
We will have to see what plans are in store for the duo, with the WWE Draft upcoming next month.
