Former WWE talent Eva Marie joined the promotion in 2013 after a temporary stint within the Performance Center, quickly appearing on the WWE reality show, “Total Divas,” while wrestling on the predominant roster at the identical time. Recently, the previous wrestler admitted that not only did she never plan on becoming a wrestler, but she also newly sober on the time she was hired.
“I used to be actually five weeks out of rehab before I got to WWE,” she admitted during an interview on “Daria & Toni Unwrapped.” “First time in rehab, but not my first time with sobriety. So I got sober after I turned 23, and I had three years of sobriety.” She then admitted that she experienced a relapse, and that her drug of selection was cocaine.
Circling back to her sobriety journey later within the interview, Marie expressed that she felt that she was living a double life for a very long time. Eventually, she ended up using “Total Divas” as a platform to talk publicly about her personal struggles, especially so it couldn’t be used against her. “There isn’t a shame in our past, and for those who own your story, who’s going to examine you?” she proclaimed.
After participating within the 2013 “Diva’s Search,” Marie’s first WWE run lasted from 2013 until 2017, when she was released. She later rejoined the corporate in 2021 but was gone again by the next 12 months. Together with WWE, Marie has appeared on “Celebrity Big Brother” and “American Ninja Warrior Junior.”
