WWE dropped the storyline after suspending her for violating the company’s Wellness Policy. No one saw Marie on WWE television after the Wellness Policy suspension, and many wondered what was up between the two parties.

Marie revealed in August 2017 that she and WWE are mutually parting ways. She embarked on an acting and modelling career.

During an interview with Rolling Stones after her WWE release, Eva Marie talked about returning to WWE in the future. She has revealed she has a great relationship with Vince McMahon, Triple H, and Stephanie McMahon.

She even thanked them for allowing her to film two films while still under WWE contract and hinted at doing the same for them.

“It just so happens that the wrestling craft, you have to be able to give yourself 110 percent to that. And then with acting, you have to do the same, so we decided together that with the films going back to back. I’m going to put my efforts into acting and growing that way. And then you never know: All Red Everything could come back and snatch that title.” said Eva Marie.
