It feels like a lifetime ago when I first stepped foot into the electrifying world of WWE. The lights, the crowd, the adrenaline pumping through my veins - it was like nothing I had ever experienced before.
I remember the excitement and nerves that consumed me as I made my debut alongside Marc Mero, my husband at the time. The fans didn't know what to make of me, a former model and actress, stepping into the ring as a manager. But I was determined to prove that I belonged, that I was more than just a pretty face.
As the weeks and months passed, I began to find my stride in WWE. I embraced the challenge of being in the spotlight, of captivating the audience with my presence and charisma. The more I performed, the more I fell in love with the world of wrestling.
I'll never forget my first match in WWE, when I stepped into the ring as a competitor for the first time. The rush of adrenaline, the roar of the crowd, the thrill of facing off against another wrestler - it was an experience like no other. I knew in that moment that I had found my true calling.
But with success came scrutiny and criticism. Being a woman in a male-dominated industry, I faced countless challenges and obstacles along the way. There were those who doubted my abilities, who questioned my place in the ring. But I refused to let their words bring me down. I was determined to prove them wrong, to show the world that I was a force to be reckoned with.
As my career in WWE continued to soar, I found myself at the center of some of the biggest storylines and rivalries in the company. From my iconic feud with Luna Vachon to my memorable matches against the likes of Jacqueline and Tori, I left my mark on the wrestling world in more ways than one.
Looking back on those early days in WWE, I can't help but feel a sense of nostalgia and pride. I may have started out as a manager, but I proved that I was so much more than that. I was a wrestler, a fighter, a champion in every sense of the word. And as I continue to pave the way for future generations of women in wrestling, I know that my time in WWE will always hold a special place in my heart.
