This past Monday on the February 20 edition of Raw, we bore witness to the inherent wickedness of Eve Torres.

As she told the Bella twins at the outset of the show, she never had any intention of pursuing an intimate relationship with “The Broski.”

To make matters worse, she duped Zack Ryder into falling for her for the sole purpose of “using” him.

Primarily, he sacrificed life and limb for the diva, which was a direct result of him wanting to protect her from the destructive clutches of Kane.
