Mickie James recently spoke with Renee Paquette on Oral Sessions podcast and spoke about Eva Marie returning to the company while others were fired.

According to James, what important is the fact that not everyone has to be a ‘five-star’ pro wrestler and as long as Marie has a strong gimmick and sell tickets, it should be fine.

She said: “I know she’s been down in NXT working and stuff. I don’t think wrestling was ever her thing. I still believe there’s a role for everybody and not everybody has to be a five-star wrestler and have dream matches.If their character is strong and they can sell tickets and ratings, then it works. Fans are like, ‘You just had these budget cuts and let all these people go and then you debut someone else?’ They always debut new talent after WrestleMania, so it falls in line. “

The former WWE Women’s Champion praised Marie and admitted that she respects her for having millions of followers. The fact that she was able to rebrand herself and her endeavours outside the squared circle have earned her respect.

Marie is returning with a new gimmick and WWE with a vignette promoteed the ‘Eva-lution.’ Eva Marie last made her appearance in WWE back in 2017 and she had parted ways with the company in August of that year.
