The return of Eva Marie was teased for weeks on Monday Night Raw and on June 14, she finally returned but she did not come alone.
Eva returned alongside Piper Niven of NXT UK. Niven stormed the ring and decisively beat Naomi on behalf of Eva Marie. On commentary, the team acted as though they had no idea who Piper Niven was and when it came time to announce the winner of the match, Eva Marie took the microphone and proclaimed that she was the winner.
