Evan Marie has opened up about her most famous segment.
The former WWE star spoke to Chris Van Vliet for a new interview. She talked about things such as accidentally joining the cast of Total Divas, dying her hair red for her WWE run, and more.
During the talk, the female star also opened up about her infamous wardrobe malfunction segment. Evan Marie recalled how she hadn't had much training before joining the main roster, and the storyline was that she always had an excuse for postponing her in-ring debut. The early ideas for that included her getting stuck in traffic or hurting her knee. While she doesn't remember who pitched the idea of the wardrobe malfunction segment, she was ready to do it without any hesitation:
"I can’t remember who exactly thought of that idea, but it was pitched to me. I’m obviously easy, I’m really am, especially because I’m a bad guy as is, so I have removed really quickly being the hero or being like, the one that doesn’t look silly. Because I think that also is a big component in going into WWE. Sometimes some superstars have a really hard time with [being the butt of the joke], or not being the man. I kind of let that sh*t go, because it was like, it’s fine, here we are, and it worked. People really did hate me."
It Came Off Pretty Good: Eva Marie
Eva Marie noted how WWE fans really hated her character, and they couldn't wait to talk shit to her. She then mentioned how the segment, which is on of the most watched YouTube videos of the company with over 47 million views, was hard to pull off on live TV:
"But the wardrobe one was gnarly, because it’s live television, so to make it realistic, we had to do like we did a run through with it, because the last thing that we needed me actually dropping my top. So cameramen were paranoid, freaking out, so I was securely taped, but it came off pretty good.”
The former NXT star later also praised Becky Lynch, who was supposed to face her on the night, for her performance during the segment.
