Shelly Martinez

Shelly Leonor Martinez (born February 9, 1980) is an American model, actress, retired professional wrestler and valet.

In April 2005, she signed a contract with WWE, and was assigned to their developmental territory, Ohio Valley Wrestling (OVW).

[7] By July of that year she had begun training and wrestling in their primary developmental territory OVW, using simply "Shelly" as a ring name.

[12] She was involved in a scripted rivalry with Alexis Laree, with Shelly and Phoenix attacking her on several occasions and the pair wrestled her in handicap matches.

Shelly and Phoenix also appeared together on the January 27, 2006, episode of Heat as part of The Heart Throbs (Romeo Roselli and Antonio Thomas) "Throb-o-Meter" section, dancing in the ring with the team and teasing a kiss, before being interrupted by Trevor Murdoch.

It began at the television tapings on February 1, when Burchill had picked her up to perform a piledriver, but instead carried her backstage after looking at her panties.

[2] As part of the feud, Shelly and Phoenix competed against each other in several matches, including a street fight at the television tapings on April 19.

[16] On the May 6 episode of Velocity, Shelly appeared as Burchill's valet for his match against Road Warrior Animal, and was referred to as his "buxom wench".

[17] Returning to OVW, she became involved in Seth Skyfire's ongoing feud with Mike "The Miz" Mizanin and Roni Jonah.

[25] Ariel made her ECW in-ring debut against Francine on September 26 in an "Extreme Catfight", which ended as a no contest due to interference from both Thorn and Mahoney.

[30] On February 6, 2007, Ariel and Thorn joined Elijah Burke, Matt Striker, and Marcus Cor Von in forming The New Breed stable.

[38][39][40] At the Final Resolution pay-per-view in January 2008, the mystery masked wrestler was unveiled as Martinez after attacking Hemme again.

[48] At Sacrifice, the "Makeover Battle Royal" was won by Gail Kim, and Roxxi Laveaux had her head shaved.

The same night, Salinas and Héctor Guerrero were in the corner of LAX as they won the TNA World Tag Team Championship.

[49] As part of LAX's feud with Beer Money, Inc., Salinas wrestled their manager Jackie Moore on Impact!

[50] She participated in a gauntlet battle royal match for the number one contendership to the TNA Women's Knockout Championship, but was unsuccessful, and a few weeks later lost a three-on-one handicap match to Awesome Kong and The Beautiful People (Velvet Sky and Angelina Love).

[53][54] This storyline was put in place as a way to take Martinez off television, as she had quit TNA following being denied a pay rise.

[62] On May 10, 2014, Martinez and J. T. Dunn competed in the 2014 WSU Queen and King of the Ring tournament, losing to the team of Candice LeRae and Joey Ryan.
