Eve is another one of the Divas who came from a Diva search. Thank god for those Diva searches because they brought in a lot of new talent that might not have been exposed to wrestling. The Paige's of the world will always find the WWE. Eve was (and still is) an actress, dancer, model, and Brazilian-Jiu Jitsu instructor before she came to the WWE. Those are some awesome skills to bring to the ring.
Eve started out as a TV personality on WWE, but quickly shifted to wrestling to become a Diva champion. Her versatility as an actress and overall talent put her in many different positions as both a wrestler, and in fake administrative roles (for acting purposes). It's always funny how they'll hire a wrestler to play the Executive Administrator or something like that. I guess no one wants to see real Executive Administrators on screen.
