Eve Torres Gracie[8] (née Eve Marie Torres; born August 21, 1984)[9] is an American actress, Brazilian jiu-jitsu practitioner instructor, event manager, former professional wrestler, dancer and model. She is best known for her time in WWE under the ring name Eve Torres, or simply Eve and has served as an ambassador for the company since April 2014.

Torres began her career as a model and dancer. She danced for The Southern California Summer Pro League and went on to become a member of the National Basketball Association's Los Angeles Clippers Spirit Dance Team for the 2006–2007 season. She has also appeared on several television shows, including Show Me The Money, Sunset Tan, and Deal or No Deal.

In 2007, she entered the 2007 Diva Search and won, earning a contract with WWE. Torres first appeared on WWE programming as a backstage interviewer in 2008, and also appeared in non-wrestling contests such as bikini contests and dance competitions. She later became a full-time wrestler in 2009, and was involved in feuds with Michelle McCool, Layla and Natalya. She also managed the tag team of Cryme Tyme. After being traded to the Raw brand in late 2009, she managed Chris Masters before winning the WWE Divas Championship in April 2010. She held the championship for 69 days, before losing it in June. After acting as the valet for R-Truth in late 2010, Torres won the Divas Championship for the second time at the 2011 Royal Rumble in January. Her second reign lasted until April 2011. The following year, she was given the fictional role of "Executive Administrator" of Raw and WWE SmackDown, and later the Assistant General Manager of SmackDown. At Night of Champions, Torres won the Divas Championship, becoming the first person to win it on three occasions, and held the title until January 2013.

Following her Divas Championship loss, she retired from WWE to focus on her role as an instructor for the Gracie Women Empowered self-defense program. In 2014, she appeared on the television series Matador in a recurring guest role. In 2016, she appeared on the CBS program Supergirl.

Professional wrestling career

World Wrestling Entertainment/WWE

Diva Search and Ohio Valley Wrestling (2007–2008)

In May 2007, Torres entered World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE)'s Diva Search.[4][16] She was chosen by WWE officials as one of the eight finalists from a group of 50 women.[4] On October 29, 2007, in Philadelphia, live on Raw, she was crowned the 2007 WWE Diva Search winner, defeating finalist Brooke Gilbertsen and becoming an official WWE Diva.[16][17] Following her win, she began training for her wrestling debut in WWE's then-developmental territory, Ohio Valley Wrestling (OVW).[4]

Various feuds (2008–2009)

Vignettes promoting Eve's debut on SmackDown began airing on January 11, 2008.[18] Eve made her official debut on the February 1, 2008 episode of SmackDown, interviewing former World Heavyweight Champion Batista.[19] During early 2008, Eve participated in a contest to determine the top Diva on SmackDown, participating in a bikini contest, an obstacle course, and an arm wrestling competition before being eliminated.[20][21][22][23] Eve appeared at WrestleMania XXIV as a Lumberjill in the BunnyMania match between Maria and Ashley against Beth Phoenix and Melina.[6] Eve spent the rest of the year competing in contests, including a dance-off and a bikini contest, before participating in the Halloween Costume Contest on October 26 at the Cyber Sunday pay-per-view, where she was dressed as Raphael from the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles.[24][25] On the 800th episode of Raw on November 3, 2008, Eve made her televised in-ring debut in a 16-Diva tag team match, which her team lost, although she never tagged into the match.[26]

Her first main storyline began in early 2009, when she began a scripted feud with Michelle McCool after McCool attacked her.[4][27] On the February 6 episode of SmackDown, Eve made her singles match debut in a losing effort against McCool via submission.[28] Their feud continued for the next few months, with them competing against each other in singles and tag team matches.[6][29] Eve then moved into a feud with Layla in mid-2009.[4] After the pair competed in dance and arm wrestling competitions, Eve defeated Layla on the May 29 episode of SmackDown in a singles match.[30][31][32] On the June 18 episode of Superstars, Eve pinned Layla once again. After the match, they both shook hands.[33]

Around the same as her scripted rivalry with Layla, Eve became associated with Cryme Tyme (Shad and JTG), appearing in several backstage segments with them.[6][34] She also began accompanying them to the ring as their manager during their storyline rivalry with The Hart Dynasty (David Hart Smith, Tyson Kidd, and Natalya).[35] Eve and Cryme Tyme participated in multiple six-person mixed tag team matches against The Hart Dynasty, and Eve also faced Natalya in singles matches and tag team matches involving other Divas.[36][37][38] Her final match on SmackDown was on October 9, when she was defeated in a singles match by McCool.[39]

Divas Champion (2009–2011)

Torres after winning the WWE Divas Championship for the second time at the 2011 Royal Rumble

On October 12, 2009, Eve was traded to the Raw brand.[4] On the November 2 episode of Raw, she competed in her first match for the brand; a battle royal, which was won by Alicia Fox.[40] She then began a storyline romance with Chris Masters in December 2009, becoming his valet.[41][42] In January 2010, the WWE Divas Championship was declared vacant and a tournament was set up to determine the new champion. Eve made it to the semi-finals, before being defeated by the eventual winner, Maryse.[43][44] At WrestleMania XXVI, Eve was on the losing team in a 10-Diva tag team match, but the following night on Raw, she pinned Maryse in a rematch to earn the victory for her team.[45][46]

On the April 5 episode of Raw, Eve won a "Dress to Impress" battle royal to become the number one contender to the Divas Championship, and the following week on Raw, she defeated Maryse to win the championship for the first time.[47][48][49] She successfully defended the championship against Maryse at the Over the Limit pay-per-view in May.[50] At the Fatal 4-Way pay-per-view in June, Eve lost the championship in a fatal four-way match, when Alicia Fox pinned Maryse to win the championship.[51] On the July 5 episode of Raw, Eve invoked her rematch clause against Fox but was unsuccessful after Fox feigned an ankle injury.[52] As a result, she received another rematch at the Money in the Bank pay per-view, but lost again to Fox.[53][54] In mid-2010, she began acting as the valet for R-Truth.

At the Royal Rumble on January 30, 2011, the Raw General Manager added Eve to a two-on-one handicap match for the Divas Championship, turning it into a four-way match. Eve pinned Layla to win the match and become a two-time Divas Champion.[55][56] She retained the championship against Natalya in a Lumberjill match on the February 14 episode of Raw, and against Nikki Bella on the March 7 episode.[57][58] She held the championship until the April 11 episode of Raw, when she lost it to Brie Bella.[59]

Eve then formed an alliance with Kelly Kelly, and after Kelly won the Divas Championship in June, Eve accompanied her to the ring during her matches.[60][61] Eve and Kelly began feuding with The Divas of Doom (Beth Phoenix and Natalya), and after Phoenix won the Divas Championship from Kelly, Eve defeated Natalya to earn a match against Phoenix for the championship.[62] She faced Phoenix at the Vengeance pay-per-view, but was unsuccessful in capturing the title.[63] On the October 31 episode of Raw, Eve won a battle royal to become the number one contender to the Divas Championship.[64] She received her championship match at the Survivor Series pay-per-view, but lost a Lumberjill match to Phoenix.[65] She later described the match as her favorite.[66]

Authority figure (2011–2012)

Eve moved into a storyline with Zack Ryder in December 2011, and the pair won a mixed tag team match against Natalya and Tyson Kidd on the December 26 episode of Raw.[67] On the January 9, 2012, episode of Raw, Eve agreed to a date with Ryder, beginning a storyline relationship.[68] Eve quickly became involved in the storyline between Ryder, his ally John Cena, and Kane, the latter of whom began targeting Ryder. After injuring Ryder, Kane turned his attention to Eve, and tried to attack her until he was stopped by Cena. On the February 6 episode of Raw, Eve suffered a legitimate broken nose when Beth Phoenix clotheslined her during a match. The following week, John Cena saved Eve from being kidnapped by Kane, and Eve kissed him in thanks. Ryder witnessed it, and she later told Ryder she hoped they could be friends. On the February 20 episode of Raw, Eve turned into a villainess for the first time in her career, after she confessed backstage to The Bella Twins that she had never liked Zack Ryder, and had disingenuously used him for publicity and planned to take advantage of Cena the same way. Cena overheard her revelation and scorned her as she begged for forgiveness.[69] Eve justified her actions by stating she was not a "damsel in distress" and was proud of her beauty allowing her to seduce men. She wrestled her first match as a villainess on the March 2 episode of SmackDown, defeating Natalya.[70] Ryder returned on the March 5 episoder of Raw, confronting Eve over her recent actions, but she managed to seduce him into forgiving her.[71] At WrestleMania XXVIII, Eve and Beth Phoenix lost to Kelly Kelly and Extra correspondent Maria Menounos in a tag team match. Later that night, she accompanied Ryder to the ring for the Team Johnny vs. Team Teddy match, where she distracted Ryder, costing him and Team Teddy the match. Afterwards, Eve delivered a low blow to Ryder.[72]

As a result of her actions during the match, John Laurinaitis appointed Eve the Executive Administrator of Raw and SmackDown.[73] As her first order of business as Executive Administrator, on the April 30 episode of Raw, Eve fired the Bella Twins backstage.[74] Despite her new authority figure role, she continued to participate in matches throughout mid-2012.[75][76][77] On the August 10 episode of SmackDown, Eve asked SmackDown General Manager Booker T if she could be his assistant, but Kaitlyn was given the job instead. Eve threatened Booker that she would tell the Board of Directors about his discriminatory hiring practices, and was given a match against Kaitlyn the following week to determine who would become his assistant, which Eve won, and got the job.[78]

Divas Champion and retirement (2012–2013)

In August, she began a storyline where she acted friendly and nice, diminishing her heel characteristics.[79] As part of this apparent personality change, she shook hands with her rival Kaitlyn following a match and teamed with her and Layla on the September 10 episode of Raw.[80] At the Night of Champions pay-per-view, Kaitlyn was attacked and injured by a masked figure backstage, and as a result, Eve replaced Kaitlyn in a match against Divas Champion Layla. Eve won the match, becoming the first ever record three time Divas Champion. After Kaitlyn revealed that her attacker was blonde, Eve accused Beth Phoenix, and attacked her on the September 24 episode of Raw. The following week, Eve suspended Phoenix, pending an investigation into Kaitlyn's attack, howerver Phoenix's suspension was reversed by Booker T, and Eve blamed Teddy Long for telling her to suspend Phoenix. It was later revealed that Kaitlyn was attacked by Aksana, on Eve's orders. On the October 8 episode of Raw, Eve defeated Kaitlyn via submission to retain the Divas Championship. Following the match, Eve attempted to re-injure Kaitlyn, but was stopped by Layla. The following week, she defeated Layla to retain the championship. The three-way feud led to a match at the Hell in a Cell pay-per-view, where Eve retained the Divas Championship against Layla and Kaitlyn in a triple threat match.[81] Eve continued to feud with the duo, facing them in tag team matches with multiple partners, and defeating Kaitlyn at Survivor Series to retain the championship.[82][83][84] At TLC: Tables, Ladders & Chairs, Eve stopped Kaitlyn from winning a number one contender's match, and defeated winner Naomi to retain the title later that night.[85] Kaitlyn won a non-title match against Eve, and won the subsequent title match by disqualification on December 18, however Eve retained the championship.[86][87] A rematch occurred on the January 7, 2013, episode of Raw, in which Eve successfully defended the championship after losing by count-out. The following week, on the special "20th Anniversary" episode of Raw, Eve lost the Divas Championship to Kaitlyn.[88] Following the loss, Eve immediately quit WWE in the storyline.[89]

In reality, Torres had asked for her release from the company in December 2012 to focus on her role as an instructor for the Gracie Women Empowered Self-defense program.[90] She returned to WWE for one night only, on December 9, 2013, presenting the Slammy Award for Diva of the Year to The Bella Twins.[91] Since April 2014, she has served as an ambassador for the WWE.[92]
