History YMMV / EvaMarie

* GermansLoveDavidHasselhoff: She's actually quite popular with ''Total Divas'' audiences[[note]]Though she was hated at first due to her original portrayal as a GoldDigger[[/note]] due to a PeripheryDemographic [[note]]The show is watched by a surprising number of non-wrestling fans, Their lack of knowledge of the business combined with ExecutiveMeddling probably helps her look more sympathetic to them.[[/note]] but is near universally detested by actual wrestling fans.

** Largely undone however, similarly to Reigns ironically enough, by her violating the wellness policy and being suspended for 30 days after having the first four weeks of Smackdown Live's women division built around her. Like Roman the fans were less than pleased at a performer being given so much opportunity and then getting themselves suspended. This was amplified further when consensus was the women's division began to pick up steam and surpass RAW's the instant Eva was out of the picture, and considering that the [[Wrestling/{{Bayley}} three]] [[Wrestling/SashaBanks most]] [[Wrestling/{{Charlotte}} over]] women on the main roster are on RAW [[note]]The fourth Horsewoman, Becky, being on [=SmackDown=][[/note]] is no small feat (though to be fair the introduction of an actual title was just as much of a help in that sense). She also hasn't appeared on [=SmackDown=] since.

** Eva's suspension has lead many fans to joke that she took her gimmick so seriously she willingly got herself suspended to avoid wrestling.

* DeaderThanDisco: Time will tell for Eva herself but if nothing else she demonstrates exactly how unwelcome the idea of attractive women who have no noticeable talent for wrestling or acting are in modern day WWE (especially as many of WWE's female performers are already very good looking to begin with, AlexaBliss, BeckyLynch etc.)

* BaseBreakingCharacter: Almost universally despised beforehand, she's now moved into this as of her NXT re-debut. Half the base still hates her guts and thinks she has no place in a wrestling ring. Others are happy that she's at least trying to improve and support her. No less a mind than Wrestling/MickFoley vouched for her.

* FanNickname: {{Inverted|Trope}}, as it's a nickname coined by her detractors: Her mangled version of a Complete Shot has been referred to by a lot of internet wrestling fans as the "Complete Shit".

** Only for her to bounce back into being seen in better lighting thanks to WWE continuing her story-line even with the suspension. At Summerslam her cheesy narrator claimed she was unable to participate due to being on "vacation" and many still claim to find her story-line a surprising highlight of the draft. It helps that she apparently got suspended for failing to turn medical documents in on time as opposed to taking an illegal substance without anything to back it up.

* NarmCharm: Her absolutely over-the-top and ridiculous entrance that premiered at the first ''Wrestling/WWESmackDown'' after they reintroduced the brand split, where the entire arena was bathed in red light while a male old-school narrator-style voiceover described Eva in such a way that it made her sound like a MarySue. It got major heat from the crowd, but many watching at home admit to busting a gut laughing at it and that it was easily one of the best parts of the show. It was first tested out at NXT live events, albeit not as a voiceover; but with Eva forcing ring announcers Tom Philips and Edin Stiles to introduce her with it.

** Since being drafted to ''[=SmackDown=]'' even with it only being on for two weeks, Eva has actually gained some supporters for two reasons. One, as mentioned above her absolutely amazing entrance that is oozing with cheese and is blatant self-aware praise about Eva, along with her doing things like faking injuries and pulling her top down in order to get out of competing in matches. Second, in that it seems the WWE are actually taking her in the direction that fans wish they would take someone like Wrestling/RomanReigns in the sense that they're taking a genuinely loathed and inexperienced wrestler and pushing them as a cowardly heel instead of a forced face.

** The hatred of her by the fans has reached memetic levels a la Justin Bieber, generally portraying her as a ditz, such as getting wrestlers' names wrong.

** A popular meme during the brand split draft was that she had been drafted to Pornhub.

* XPacHeat: So much so that she could be the new TropeNamer. She's garnered more nuclear heat than Wrestling/VickieGuerrero or circa-2011 Wrestling/MichaelCole ever did. You know it's bad when Full Sail started chanting the name of her just-debuted jobber opponent. When she issued her title challenge to Wrestling/{{Bayley}} on the November 18 edition of NXT, the crowd was booing so loud that Eva couldn't get her words out and Bayley herself was trying to calm the fans down. There are two reasons for this: the first is, in the words of [[Main/ImageBoards Taimapedia]], her "propensity to make the first Wrestling/SinCara look botch-free", and the second is her lack of mic skills to make up for it. All the other recipients of XPacHeat currently in the WWE have one or the other, or maybe just a terrible character; Eva has ''all three'', making her more hated than the rest of them combined.

* RescuedFromTheScrappyHeap: She's ''attempting'' this by getting more training and competing at NXT. Her XPacHeat has died down a little and some would argue that she's transformed it partially into genuine heel heat. There can be audible "let's go Eva" chants during her matches at NXT anyway. There's also a few who find her LoveToHate. Unfortunately, many fans also say that she has reached a point where she is almost completely unrescuable from the heap — just like how ''WesternAnimation/StarWarsTheCloneWars'' couldn't completely save Jar Jar Binks.[[note]]Funnily enough, at least one fan has posited a theory that Eva is playing up how terrible she is and is actually better than she's letting on, similar to the idea that's caught fire in the ''Star Wars'' fandom about Jar Jar secretly being a trained Force user and Sith mastermind. Unfortunately for Eva, that sort of thing is much easier to believe about a CGI movie character than a real life inexperienced pro wrestler.[[/note]] Especially since internet [[SmartMark smarks]] typically aren't the type that forget or forgive very easily. Judging by her near-unanimous negative reaction upon her return to the main roster in 2016, her scrappy status looks to be set in stone.

* AuthorsSavingThrow: Attempted and failed. After weeks of badly executing the Sliced Bread, her finisher was switched to a Sliding Reverse STO. Not only is Xavier Woods doing a much better version as a mid match move, she nearly broke her ankle in the first attempt. See also: [[InvertedTrope Detractor]] [[FanNickname Nickname]].
