Natalie Eva Marie Nelson[7][8] (born September 19, 1984) is an American actress, fashion designer, model, and professional wrestler. She is best known for her tenures in WWE, from 2013–2017 and 2020–2021, where she performed under the ring name Eva Marie.
In 2013, she signed a contract with WWE and was assigned to the WWE Performance Center in Orlando, Florida to begin her training.[4] In July 2013, she made her main roster debut and became the manager of The Bella Twins later that month.[9] She also began starring in WWE's reality television series Total Divas as part of the main cast.[10] In mid-2015, she started to wrestle on WWE's developmental brand, NXT.[11] In April 2016, Marie returned to the main roster,[12] officially becoming a part of the SmackDown brand in July 2016.[13] She left WWE in August 2017.[14] That same year, Marie made her film debut in Inconceivable. The following years saw her taking on several other projects, which included appearances in multiple television shows and launching a fitness program, in addition to a fashion line, under her NEM brand. After signing a new contract with WWE in late 2020, Marie returned to the promotion in June 2021 on the Raw brand. In November, it was reported she had been released during a mass layoff, just as she had been written off TV to resume and focus on her acting career, similarly to her previous exit from the company.
