==Professional wrestling career==
=== Total Divas and Main Roster (2013–2015)===
In May 2013, Nelson was announced as part of WWE and E!'s new reality show entitled Total Divas that would feature behind the scenes footage of select WWE Divas and a look into their personal lives.
Nelson made her main roster debut under the name Eva Marie on the July 1 episode of Raw, in a backstage segment along with her fellow Total Divas co-stars Jo-Jo, Natalya, The Bella Twins (Brie and Nikki Bella), and The Funkadactyls (Cameron and Naomi). Marie was announced as Natalya's protégé on the July 4 episode of WWE Superstars, during a match in which she accompanied Natalya to the ring where she defeated Naomi.
Eva Marie, along with the cast of Total Divas appeared on MizTV on the July 22 Raw, where she slapped Jerry Lawler, claiming to make a name for herself and establishing herself as a heel in the process. Two weeks later, Marie appeared in a backstage segment with The Bella Twins and Natalya, in which Marie complimented Brie on her win over Natalya the previous week, aligning herself with the Bella Twins. At SummerSlam Axxess, Marie made her in-ring debut in a diva tag team match alongside Brie Bella against Natalya and Maria Menounos in a losing effort with Natalya pinning Marie. Following this match, Marie began accompanying Brie to her matches. On the August 26 Raw, Marie accompanied Brie Bella to a successful singles competition match against Natalya, until AJ Lee interrupted and declared war on the Total Divas against the "real" hard earning Divas, turning the Bellas and Marie face in the process.
Marie made her televised in-ring debut on the October 7 edition of Raw, teaming with JoJo and Natalya to defeat Alicia Fox, Aksana and Rosa Mendes in an six diva tag-team match. Marie teamed up with The Bella Twins against Lee, Aksana and Tamina Snuka on the November 4 Raw, where Eva and The Bellas emerged victorious when Marie got an upset victory over Snuka by pinning her, garnering her first pinfall victory. The Total Divas defeated The True Divas (Alicia Fox, Aksana, Divas Champion AJ, Kaitlyn, Rosa Mendes, Tamina Snuka and Summer Rae) in a traditional survivor series elimination tag-team match at the Survivor Series pay-per-view and again on the subsequent Raw.
Marie made her return to WWE after a nearly three-month absence on the February 14, 2014 episode of SmackDown, defeating Alicia Fox in her first singles match on WWE television; however, the match was cut from the broadcast. On the February 26 episode of Main Event, Marie teamed up with Natalya against Alicia Fox and Aksana, but lost the match when Aksana pinned Natalya. On the March 7 episode of SmackDown, Marie teamed up with Natalya in a tag team match against AJ Lee and Tamina Snuka, which they would win. On the March 26 episode of Main Event, Marie teamed up with Natalya, The Funkadactyls (Cameron and Naomi) and Emma in a losing effort to the team of Rae, Fox, Aksana, Layla and Snuka. On April 6, Marie made her WrestleMania debut when she participated at WrestleMania XXX in the 14-Diva "Vickie Guerrero Invitational" match for the WWE Divas Championship, which was won by defending champion AJ Lee. On the May 23 episode of SmackDown, Marie teamed up with Nikki Bella in an losing effort to The Funkadactyls (Cameron and Naomi) when Marie was pinned by Cameron after special guest referee Summer Rae made a fast-count. On the following episode of Raw, Marie defeated Summer Rae after an interference by Fandango and Layla.
Marie began regaining her villainous persona as she faced off against Divas Champion AJ Lee in a pair of non-title matches, and losing both times. On the July 8 episode of Main Event, Marie became a heel when she participated in a six–on–one handicap match with Rosa Mendes, Summer Rae, Naomi and Natalya against Nikki Bella as part of Stephanie McMahon's punishment against Nikki, where she picked up the win for her team after a DDT. On the July 18 edition of SmackDown, Marie and Fox were scheduled to face each other in a match officiated by Nikki, but both Divas would end up attacking Nikki in the ring. On the August 11 edition of Raw, Marie pulled off an upset victory over reigning Divas Champion AJ Lee after a distraction by Paige, but she would be attacked by AJ after the match ended.
On November 9, after a month of inactivity, Marie wrote on her Instagram account that she was recovering from an injury. In the Total Divas episode "Twin Leaks", which aired on January 18, 2015, this injury was revealed to be a rupture in her breast implants. Marie returned on the March 9 episode of Raw, accompanying Summer Rae to her match against AJ Lee. She would go on another hiatus soon after in order to train with former WWE Tag Team Champion Brian Kendrick.
=== NXT (2015–2016) ===
Marie appeared on the June 3 episode of NXT, stating that she was looking forward to competing in the NXT women's division, while the NXT audience was heavily booing her. In a backstage segment with NXT General Manager William Regal on the June 24 episode of NXT, Regal said he needed to see some proof that Marie was ready to compete in the women's division, and she responded saying, "No problem, that's what I'm going to do." On the July 15 episode of NXT, Marie announced she will be making her in-ring debut next week. On the following week, Eva Marie made her official in-ring return and defeated Cassie. On the August 26 episode of NXT in Brooklyn, Eva Marie defeated Carmella, and she would defeat Billie Kay on the following week's episode.
==== Return to main roster (2016-2017)====
On the March 28 episode of Raw, Marie made her return to the main roster as a face helping her fellow Total Divas co-stars over an assault against Lana's then-allies; Naomi, Tamina, Emma and Summer Rae. As a result, a 10-Diva tag team match between the Total Divas team (Brie Bella, Alicia Fox, Natalya, Eva and Paige) and the newly dubbed team B.A.D. & Blonde (Naomi, Tamina, Lana, Emma, and Rae) was announced for the WrestleMania 32's pay-per-view pre-show. At the event on April 3, Eva's team won after Naomi submitted to Brie Bella.
On the July 19 episode of SmackDown LIVE, Marie was drafted to the SmackDown brand as part of the 2016 WWE Draft. Marie turned heel on the following week's SmackDown, debuting a new long introductory entrance while confronting the brand's female talents. Through August, Marie began faking multiple unfortunate events in order to avoid in–ring competition, until on August 18, when she was suspended for 30 days after violating the company's wellness policy.
On March 27, it was reported that Marie's WWE contract would not be renewed. Prior to the report, Marie began pursuing interests outside WWE and had also began to remove WWE references from her social media.
=== Return to WWE (2020–2021) ===
In October 2020, PWInsider reported that Marie had signed a contract with WWE. On the May 3, 2021 episode of Raw, a vignette aired advertising her return under a character of a "celebrity who wants to help other people", in which she promoted "the Eva-Lution". 
After several weeks of vignettes, Marie returned on the June 14 episode of Raw, originally announced to face Naomi, only for an unnamed protégé to wrestle and defeat Naomi on her behalf. The following week on Raw, Marie subsequently renamed her protégé as Doudrop, but later that night, Doudrop turned on Marie during a tag team match against Asuka and Naomi.
