Videos promoting Eve's debut on ''[[WWE SmackDown|SmackDown]]'' began airing on January 11, 2008. The promo aired for three weeks before Eve made her official debut on the February 1, 2008 episode of ''SmackDown'' interviewing former [[World Heavyweight Championship (WWE)|World Heavyweight Champion]] [[Dave Batista|Batista]]. During early 2008, Eve participated in a "Diva Competition" contest to determine the top Diva on ''SmackDown'', participating in a bikini contest, an obstacle course, and an [[Professional wrestling match types#Arm wrestling match|arm wrestling]] competition before being eliminated. Eve appeared at [[WrestleMania XXIV]] as a Lumberjill in the BunnyMania match between [[Maria Kanellis|Maria]] and [[Ashley Massaro|Ashley]] against [[Beth Phoenix]] and [[Melina Perez|Melina]]. Eve spent the rest of the year competing in similar contests, including a dance-off and a bikini contest, before participating in the Halloween Costume Contest on October 26 at the [[Cyber Sunday 2008|Cyber Sunday]] [[pay-per-view]], where she was dressed as Raphael from the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. On the 800th episode of ''Raw'' on November 3, 2008, Eve made her televised in-ring debut in a 16-Diva tag team match, which her team lost although she was never tagged in.
