– We’ve noted how Eva Marie has been working on her in-ring skills with former WWE Superstar The Brian Kendrick at his school in California. WWE recently spoke with the two and Eva revealed how the pairing came to be:
“Iโve been out for six months because I had to get surgery. That bummed me out, because I really wanted to perfect my craft. When I come back, I really want to show the WWE Universe how much Eva Marie wants to be here. So, I reached out to Triple H and Mr. McMahon and said I would love the opportunity to just train, so that I could learn the craft. Hunter put me in contact with Brian Kendrick, which is the best thing thatโs ever happened to me.”
Kendrick revealed he learned about Eva through William Regal and commented on what he expected:
“The thing was, I didnโt know what to expect. When I talked to Mr. Regal, he said, โBest of luck.โ I didnโt know if he was being sarcastic. I said, โIs she bad?โ He told me, โHonestly, we donโt know. She just hasnโt done enough in wrestling to tell if sheโs good, bad or anything. Sheโs inexperienced.โ I knew I was going to have to take her from the ground up. I didnโt know how much effort sheโd put into it. I thought sheโd put in one or two days a week, based on other people that Iโve trained, but sheโs insisting on going at least five days a week. Weโre going for our sixth day tomorrow. Sheโs the most driven person Iโve ever dealt with.”
Kendrick has had Eva watching matches such as Super Crazy and Tajiri in ECW so her style will have some lucha influence when she returns, Eva said. She also commented on if she has something to prove when she comes back:
“I really donโt think itโs something to prove, but I think the WWE Universe might not know that I tried out to be a Diva first. Thatโs what I wanted to do โ wrestle. Everything else that happened โ โTotal Divasโ and the main roster โ came along so quickly. When I come back, I want to showcase what Iโve learned. Itโs for the people that have believed in me. I do it for them, to make them proud and happy and have their support. Plus, I love wrestling. This is why I joined WWE. Iโm so excited to come back.”
