She was awarded a contract with WWE after co-winning the second series of the reality television show Tough Enough with Linda Miles.

Gayda turned villainous on an episode of WWE Velocity by pushing her co-winner Linda Miles off the top rope, causing her to lose her match against Ivory.

Commentator Jim Ross exclaimed that "mercifully, it's over" at the end of the match, expressing relief that the poor wrestling attempts had ceased.

[5] In early 2004, Gayda teamed up with Stacy Keibler, with the duo proclaiming themselves to be the WWE's hottest divas and thought they deserved to grace the cover of Playboy magazine.

On the October 7 episode of SmackDown!, Gayda found herself on the receiving end of Billy Kidman's BK Bomb.

Dawn gained her revenge during an arm wrestling contest on the November 4 episode of SmackDown!, headbutting Gayda and catfighting with her until Haas made the save.

On November 25, Gayda tried to gain revenge in a "Pilgrim versus Indian" match, but both women were disqualified for ignoring the referee's instructions.

Gayda lost the match, and her fiancé, as the relationship was broken when Haas revealed he had an affair with Dawn Marie.

She said her being there had nothing to do with a love affair, but rather that Jarrett had promised her a spot on the TNA Roster, but while she was stuck at home, she turned on the television to see Kim in her place.

On the January 28 episode of Impact!, Gayda came down to ringside during a Jarrett versus Jay Lethal match to hand an audiotape to Kim.

In April 2009, Gayda returned to WWE for one-night-only as a part of the 25 Diva battle royal at WrestleMania XXV.

[10] At the event Jackie and Celestial defeated Jennifer Blake and Mini Chessman in a tag team match.

On August 20, 2011, Haas became her husband's manager where he became the inaugural Family Wrestling Entertainment (FWE) Heavyweight Champion by defeating Jay Lethal and Eric Young.

He held the championship for four months before losing it to Young on December 17, the same night Jackie made her in-ring debut for FWE in a loss to Winter.
