Eve Torres Speaks - Divas Champion, Jiu-Jitsu Training & More

Eve Torres spoke with the Miami Herald at this week's WrestleMania XXVIII press conference and commented on being the WWE Divas Champion again. She feels her current reign will mean more than her first.

"It's kind of like the first time you really don't know how much it means to you, until you lose it," Torres said.

"When it is the first time, you almost don't know how to make the most out of it and to truly fight for it. I think any time you get the chance to represent the title and to earn the title, you learn how to represent it in the best way.

"You learn how to wear it with honor, fight for it with honor and really become the face of WWE for the divas. It's an amazing opportunity. You have to be ready for those opportunities when they come. Otherwise what is the point of having those opportunities? I have mine and plan on making it last. I plan on getting the most out of it."


Torres is grateful for the opportunity WWE has given her. She takes her position atop the women's division very seriously.

"All of the divas are given opportunities," Torres said. "It's kind of the way you go after them and what you do with them. I feel like I was able to seize the opportunity I was given, and now I am divas champion.

"You are representing the entire company. I think it shows the company has faith in you, and we have faith in ourselves."


Torres' background in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu has helped her stand out among the organization's other female talent. She trains on her time off.

"Jiu-jitsu is something I absolutely love," Torres said. "I never planned on going into MMA or anything like that. I literally do it for fun and for my own self defense. I think it's important for women to learn that. I think it’s very empowering and has helped with my confidence inside and outside the ring. I think that is why it's so meaningful for me."
