Eva Marie and The Brian Kendrick Talk About Improving Her In-Ring Skills

Eva Marie

– 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:

“Iโ€™ve 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 thatโ€™s ever happened to me.”

Kendrick revealed he learned about Eva through William Regal and commented on what he expected:

“The thing was, I didnโ€™t know what to expect. When I talked to Mr. Regal, he said, โ€œBest of luck.โ€ I didnโ€™t know if he was being sarcastic. I said, โ€œIs she bad?โ€ He told me, โ€œHonestly, we donโ€™t know. She just hasnโ€™t done enough in wrestling to tell if sheโ€™s good, bad or anything. Sheโ€™s inexperienced.โ€ I knew I was going to have to take her from the ground up. I didnโ€™t know how much effort sheโ€™d put into it. I thought sheโ€™d put in one or two days a week, based on other people that Iโ€™ve trained, but sheโ€™s insisting on going at least five days a week. Weโ€™re going for our sixth day tomorrow. Sheโ€™s the most driven person Iโ€™ve 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 donโ€™t think itโ€™s something to prove, but I think the WWE Universe might not know that I tried out to be a Diva first. Thatโ€™s what I wanted to do โ€” wrestle. Everything else that happened โ€“ โ€œTotal Divasโ€ and the main roster โ€” came along so quickly. When I come back, I want to showcase what Iโ€™ve learned. Itโ€™s 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. Iโ€™m so excited to come back.”
