* OldShame: Played with when it comes to the Diva Search. She claims she cringes while watching old segments from it, but is grateful to have got her start in WWE from it.



* PopCultureUrbanLegends: It's widely thought among fans that Eve's stoyline with Kane and John Cena was rewritten to capitalise on the XPacHeat she experienced when she kissed John. Notably Kane disappeared from the storyline the very next week so that Eve could be quickly turned heel.

Trope has been renamed to Chuck Cunningham Syndrome.


* WagTheDirector: According to Eve, when she announced that she would be leaving WWE in 2013, they were just going to have her {{Brother Chuck}}ed with hardly any fanfare. She claims she had to "work hard" to get the match that was her last one (Kaitlyn confirms that the match was supposed to be at the ''Royal Rumble'', but Eve had them change it to the anniversary show because it was in her hometown of Houston).

* ActorInspiredElement: Eve's StepfordSmiler persona in 2012, after the 'Hoeski' period ended, came from her own experiences in trying to be a face that the crowds weren't connecting with.


Added DiffLines:

** She opted to retire from WWE because she felt "like I was being controlled by other things that weren't just me or my skill set or my work ethic, and I didn't like that". She also felt she never really got to accomplish as much as she wanted to.

* ActingInTheDark: She had no idea that she would be added into the Divas' Championship match at the 2011 ''Royal Rumble'', only finding out on the morning of the event.


Added DiffLines:

* CreatorBacklash:
** She grew to hate being a {{Face}}, as she felt the fans weren't connecting with her, and thus enjoyed her heel turn a lot more.
** Subverted with her famous botch in the #1 contender's battle royal that led to Kaitlyn winning instead of her. Although embarrassed that she messed up the finish, she said that the resulting storyline was even more interesting than what likely would have happened before.

* RealLifeWritesThePlot: Eve was meant to become the #1 contender to Layla's title in a battle royal. However due to a goof, she got eliminated and {{Wrestling/Kaitlyn}} won instead. Thus the resulting storyline became Eve arranging to have Kaitlyn attacked so she could have the match in her place - leading to Kaitlyn becoming the new top face.

* AdvertisedExtra: ''Diva Dirt'' hyped up Eve's appearance on ''{{Series/Supergirl 2015}}''. She only appears at the beginning of the episode.



* FakeNationality: She plays a Russian in the movie ''Skiptrace''.
* PlayingAgainstType: She preferred being a heel, but didn't spend that long in the role. She was a heel for just one year before she retired, and had played a {{Face}} for the other five years of her career.

* WhatCouldHaveBeen: After her heel turn, there were rumours of a Kelly Kelly vs Eve match for ''Wrestle Mania''. Another rumour was that the returning Layla would side with Zack Ryder against Eve and a male superstar. Interestingly enough for this trope, both stories did happen but differently. Beth Phoenix and celebrity Maria Menounos were added to make it a tag match for ''Mania'' (though Eve and Kelly did have three singles matches on ''Raw'' and ''Superstars''). Eve and Layla feuded months after Layla's return, after Eve took the Divas' Championship from her (with no males involved).
