[5] Giovanni participated in World Wrestling Entertainment's 2004 Diva Search and although she finished in third place in the competition, WWE signed her to a contract just a few days after her elimination.

She was later confronted by Luther Reigns again, who tried to force Joy to go on a date with him, causing Big Show to come down and make the save.

[7] On January 6, 2005 edition of SmackDown!, Joy refused to sign Carlito's petition, resulting in him spitting an apple at her face.

[7] After Weber's departure from WWE in February 2005, their feud was dropped suddenly and Joy would go on to win the 2005 Rookie Diva of the Year contest at No Way Out after beating out Michelle McCool, Rochelle Loewen, and Lauren Jones.

[7] After winning the contest, Joy and her fellow Smackdown wrestlers would become involved in brief feuds with Dawn Marie and Melina.

In preparation for WrestleMania 21, Giovanni took part in numerous promo videos, including a Taxi Driver parody.
