Eva Marie Releases Statement on WWE Retirement and Future Plans

08/31/2017 03:57 pm EDT

Yesterday, Eva Marie caught the wrestling community by surprise when she announced her sudden retirement. Her exit left fans questioning what could have been as Marie carried the unique ability to draw fan reactions.

While we may never see here in a wrestling ring again, Marie did make an Instagram post that answered more questions than her limited Twitter account could.

It sounds like Marie will be the newest WWE Superstar to give Hollywood a sincere try. Here's an excerpt:

"And finally...the hustle won't stop! After shooting back to back films, more are coming and I can't wait to share with you soon. #Love #AllRedEverythingForever"

Last month, in an interview with TooFab Magazine, Marie was coy when discussing her future in WWE.

"Oh, my goodness, for sure. WWE, for me, is where it all started. You never know, I could show up on a Monday Night Raw, I could come down to SmackDown Live and snatch that title real quick. Never leave me out, you never know what's creeping around the corner, if you know what I mean."

TooFab followed up by inquiring if she's planning on returning to Total Divas:

"You never know. It's definitely a possibility. I love that show and I think everybody needs a little bit of Natalie Eva Marie in their life, so why not spread it everywhere."

Before being suspended for violating WWE's wellness policy Marie had become a heat magnet for fans. In her short time on the main roster, she was the most fervently booed female on WWE's roster. WWE took advantage of this and began to troll their audience by having Marie fake injuries to avoid actually competing in the ring. For a brief time, it was brilliant.

Marie could have been a lot of fun in WWE, but it looks like we'll never see it. She'll be remembered as one of the most remarkable employees in recent WWE history despite hardly ever wrestling. As a cast member for the first six season of Total Divas, Marie is one of the show's matriarchs. However, it looks like her time there is done as well. Best of luck to Eva and her future endeavors.
