Former WWE star Eva Marie recently appeared on the INSIGHT with Chris Van Vliet, where she opens up about her infamous wardrobe malfunction segment before her match vs. Becky Lynch on the August 9, 2016, episode of SmackDown.
“So that whole kind of storyline was fun. There’s always going to be an excuse for me not to get in the ring. One I got stuck in traffic. The other one I hurt my knee, and then the wardrobe malfunction. 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 s*** go, because it was like, it’s fine, here we are, and it worked. People really did hate me. There’s a sign, and I can’t remember what city it was, it was like, if Eva Marie’s here, we riot. Or just this crazy little section of this is Eva Marie’s section or something so obnoxious, but it was fun, because they couldn’t wait to just talk s*** to me when I came out.”
Furthermore, Eva Marie shared that the segment came off pretty good, and even the cameramen freaked out on live WWE TV. She also mentioned that Becky Lynch played her part well. Marie continued,“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.”
“I do, yeah. But the way that I’m holding it looks like, Oh, my God, it’s really happening, but I’m taped up. So if I literally let my hands go, it’s just flapping in the wind. It basically just clips off and it just falls forward. And how it kind of came off on TV looked great. It liked how it just really did look like this is happening, like her top is literally falling off, and Becky played off it great.”
