Going by the earlier updates, Eva Marie is all set to play a managerial role on Monday Night Raw, starting from next week. She will be less seen in action and more on elevating new talents on the main roster, it appears. The latest updates around her confirm the same as these have potentially revealed who she might play the role of manager, for.
WWE NXT UK Superstar Piper Niven is reportedly the wrestler who is heading to WWE RAW with Eva Marie. WWE officials have considered Niven and NXT Superstar Mercedes Martinez to become Eva’s “muscle” on the red brand, per the updates from WrestleVotes. This certainly matches with the recent reports on Eva serving as a vehicle to help get another female Superstar over on RAW.

Reports also suggest this new pairing will be used as a new call-up over on the main roster while Eva Marie herself will try to get over as an in-ring talent and not just a manager. In more update, Andrew Zarian of the Mat Men Wrestling Podcast reported that Niven will be called up as the new pairing with Marie. The original plan was to call for the “Eva-Lution” to kick off on the June 21 RAW show, which is the night after the WWE Hell In a Cell pay-per-view.

But as per the confirmations from this week’s Raw, the return has been preponed for one week. It will rather happen on next week’s Raw, June 14 episode. While Eva Marie will make her first appearance on WWE TV since the summer of 2016, it’s yet to be confirmed whether Martinez or Niven will be accompanying her on the show.

Niven last wrestled in mid-March, teaming with Jack Starz for a win over Jinny and Joseph Conners in the first-ever NXT UK mixed tag team match. She had been involved in the NXT UK women’s division as she came up short twice against NXT UK Women’s Champion Kay Lee Ray in late 2020. Martinez is set to face Xia Li in the upcoming WWE NXT TakeOver: In Your House that takes place, this Sunday night. Perhaps, it wraps up her time with NXT if she is set to pair up with Eva Marie on Raw, next.
