WWE: Why Eve Will Become the New Stephanie McMahon

Ever since she turned on Raw several months ago, WWE diva Eve Torres has emerged as the most promising female heel in the promotion since Stephanie McMahon was running amok all over WWE television in 1999-2002.

Indeed, at this point, Eve seems to be poised to be Stephanie's natural successor. No doubt WWE's booking team, mindful of what a red-hot heat magnet Stephanie was during the Attitude Era, would like to see the former Diva Search winner emulate even just some of the success the "Billion Dollar Princess" had.

With this in mind, here are just some of the reasons we think Eve is all set to become the new Stephanie McMahon...

Promo Skills

Similar to Stephanie, Eve is an extremely good and capable public speaker. The star is gifted with a confidence and strength on the mic that most of the other divas in the company simply lack.

Make no mistake about it: You will never see Eve stumble over words or deliver her scripted lines in a woefully wooden manner (Kelly Kelly, we're looking at you). Like Stephanie before her, the former Diva Search winner is a natural performer, and this aids her greatly in her quest to climb to the top of WWE. 

Her Character Is Easy to Hate

Stephanie managed to get over in 2000 by portraying herself as an obnoxious and incredibly spoilt rich girl who would throw a tantrum and start lashing out and insulting everyone whenever she failed to get her way on something. In response to this, fans despised her and jeered the woman vociferously, making her one of the top heel acts in the company.

Eve's current character is also thoroughly detestable. She openly admits to using gullible men like Zack Ryder to aid her career, berates the other divas every she chance she gets and sucks up to Raw and SmackDown GM John Laurinaitis non-stop. Unsurprisingly, the fans can't stand her either.

She Has the Support of Higher-Ups in WWE

Per recent reports, WWE owner Vince McMahon has been extremely impressed with Eve's performances on Raw and SmackDown since she turned heel a few months ago.

With Vince McMahon's support thrown behind her, Eve seems virtually guaranteed to garner even more screen time in WWE and become as high-profile as Stephanie was during her stint as a heel.

She Is Bursting with Personality

Stephanie succeeded as a heel in 2000 because of her heel charisma, wacky facial expressions (something she inherited from her dad) and willingness to act as awful as possible to garner a negative crowd reaction. 

For her past, Eve is also bursting with personality and radiates charisma. More so than any other woman in the company, in fact. Whether she is strutting down to the ring or showering John Laurinaitis with over-the-top compliments backstage, we definitely get a strong sense of her sneaky, obnoxious heel character and her willingness to do virtually anything to succeed.

She Has Been Shown to Be Power Mad

One of the staples of Stephanie's heel character was how she bossed everyone around and acted like she had far more power and control over the company than she actually did.

Unsurprisingly, it was shown to drive the other (babyface) wrestlers absolutely crazy and frequently led to them viciously disparaging her in promos and backstage skits, much to the delight of the fans.

As we take a look at the evolution of her character, we can recognize that Eve has been portrayed in a very similar manner, as she boorishly orders around the other women and gets them to do her bidding.

Her association with John Laurinaitis has garnered her a decent amount of power, and the former Diva Search winner intends to use every since bit of it to her advantage.

This was most notable last night when WWE posted a video of the diva taking it upon herself to fire the Bella twins after the two sisters made some mildly insulting remarks towards her in a backstage conversation.

Yup. She's gone mad with power, alright...
