Probably Eva Marie herself.

Honestly, I know a lot of people are down on her, but I'll be very glad to have Nikki back on the shows. She can keep up just fine in the ring
and is plenty over, heel or face. It'll be an interesting dynamic to have her be full solo, with Bri retired.
I also wonder what her new finisher is going to be, since she can't do the Rack Attack anymore.
Keep up in the ring??? With who? I hope you don't think she's even in the same ballpark as Sasha, Bayley, Becky, or Paige or even has
anywhere near the potential of Charlotte who I still think has the chance to get better. If you wanna say she's on par with Jax, Bliss,
Carmella, Nattie...that's fair but she can not keep up with the upper echelon.

She's not as good at Charlotte, Becky, Sasha (or Bayley or Nattie). But she's better than Carmella, Bliss, Jax. I think she's
comparable to Paige - Paige is much younger and has more time to grow but, despite being on the main roster longer, hasn't had matches.
When I say 'keep up', I don't necessarily mean she's in the elite tier of workers in the division, but she's one of the
better non-elite talents they have. She's not dragging anybody down and, given that she's been training for her return with Bayley, might
have even improved. She could have stepped away along with her sister and just pursued modeling and real estate. I think she deserves credit for
busting her ass and working to get back in the ring.

Paige is at best only behind Sasha and Becky in terms of actual ability in the ring. To even put Nikki in that atmosphere hurts.

Maybe prime indy/NXT Paige, but there's nothing to prove she's on the elite level right now. Maybe she hasn't fully recovered from
an injury, maybe she's been lazy, maybe she can't keep a high quality of work with the WWE schedule, but just slightly below Becky/Banks
she ain't.
Becky/Charlotte at the Rumble, the WM Triple Threat, and the big Charlotte vs Sasha match from a few weeks ago are a league above Paige's Main
Roster work. The only thing I remember about Charlotte vs Paige was the controversial Reid promo and Paige vs AJ feud was decent and definently a
highlight for it's time but nowhere near as good as what the new batch have served up.
She ain't that far from Nikki.

IF you said "TKO" step up and collect
your internet cookie.
I do know that she did cause some people to think she was going to hit the Rack Attack and fear for her health, so kudos to her for that.
