Promos of Eve coming to SmackDown began airing on January 11, 2008. The promo aired for three weeks before Eve made her official debut on the February 1, 2008 edition of SmackDown interviewing former World Heavyweight Champion Batista.[11] During spring, Eve participated in a "Diva Competition" contest to determine the top diva on SmackDown, the contest was won by Michelle McCool. Torres appeared at WrestleMania XXIV as a Lumberjill in the BunnyMania match between Maria and Ashley against Beth Phoenix and Melina.

Eve then continued to participated in contests including the Halloween Costume Contest on October 26, 2008 at Cyber Sunday, Torres was dressed as Raphael from the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. On November 3, 2008, the 800th episode of Raw, Eve made her televised in-ring debut in a 16-Diva tag team match, which her team lost although she was never tagged in. Her first main storyline came on the January 2, 2009 episode of SmackDown, when Torres was attacked by Michelle McCool. On the February 6 episode of SmackDown, Torres made her singles match debut in a losing effort against McCool via submission. On April 5, Torres competed in a Divas battle royal at WrestleMania XXV, but the match was won by Santina Marella.[12] After feuding with Layla for several weeks and competing in dance and arm wrestling competitions, Eve defeated Layla on the May 29 episode of SmackDown in a wrestling match.[13][14][15] On the June 18 episode of WWE Superstars, once again, Eve pinned Layla. After the match, they both shook hands.[16]

Around the same as her scripted rivalry with Layla, Eve became associated with Cryme Tyme, appearing in backstage segments with them.[17] She also began accompanying them to the ring as their manager during their storyline rivalry with The Hart Dynasty.[18] Eve and Cryme Tyme participated in a six-person mixed tag team match against The Hart Dynasty (David Hart Smith, Tyson Kidd, and Natalya), which Cryme Tyme lost, and the following week, Eve defeated Natalya in a singles match.[19][20][21]
