WWE issued a short statement on the departure of Eva Marie. As we noted earlier, it was no secret that she was likely not returning to the company. Back in March, reports surfaced saying that her contract would not be renewed so none of this comes as a shock.
Here is WWE’s statement:
“Eva Marie and WWE have mutually agreed to contractually part ways as of today, Aug. 4, 2017.”
Marie has not appeared on WWE live event programming since her suspension last August. She did film some material for Total Divas during and after the suspension but over the last few months, the feeling was that she was already looking towards a career in Hollywood.
She signed on with The Rock and Dani Garcia’s “7 Bucks Entertainment” and was recently featured in the movie “Inconceivable” with Nicholas Cage. For those of you that missed it, click here for Marie’s statement on her departure.
