Joy Giovanni

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. Her elimination was aired on the September 13 episode of *Raw*.

Giovanni debuted for *SmackDown!* on November 18 as a massage therapist, and also acted as special guest bell ringer. On November 14, she and The Big Show hosted a 'Thanksgiving' party, only to be confronted by Luther Reigns. 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. Joy got into a catfight with Amy Weber on December 16, after Joy gave John Bradshaw Layfield a candy cane. On January 6, 2005 edition of *SmackDown!*, Joy refused to sign Carlito's petition, resulting in him spitting an apple at her face. On the same episode, Kurt Angle was tricked into walking into Joy's locker room by Amy Weber, only to scare her during her shower which caused her to run out in a towel and into Big Show's arms. He chased Angle to the ring in defense of Joy and attacked him. It was revealed to be a ploy by The Cabinet to get Big Show and Angle angry at each other.

Following this, Joy began another feud with the villainous Amy Weber. The two became involved in Big Show's feud with John "Bradshaw" Layfield, with Giovanni serving as a friend and later the on-screen girlfriend of Big Show. The feud included a part on January 13, where Joy was kidnapped and discovered, tied and gagged in JBL's limo trunk by Kurt Angle. During this time Joy and Amy were scheduled for a wrestling match at the order of Theodore Long, which started from a backstage catfight between Amy and herself. As Big Show attacked the entire group, Kurt Angle bragged about the whole thing and being the mastermind behind it as well.

On January 20, Kurt Angle was forced to issue an open apology to Joy, but when the Big Show came out, Angle tried to leave the ring only to be get ushered back by The Cabinet. It turned out to be another ploy, as Angle and The Cabinet all attacked Big Show. 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. On February 21 at a live event, Joy competed in a bikini contest which was won by Torrie Wilson. After winning the contest, Joy and her fellow *SmackDown* wrestlers would become involved in brief feuds with Dawn Marie and Melina.

Following these feuds, she occasionally appeared on *SmackDown!* during backstage segments with other wrestlers or occasional bikini and lingerie contests, including one on April 7, where she and other wrestlers competed in a Viva Las Vegas bikini match, which Torrie also won. She was released from her contract due to budget cuts on July 6, 2005.

Giovanni returned at WWE's WrestleMania XXV, making her official in-ring debut in a 25-Diva battle royal to determine the first Miss WrestleMania alongside various other past and present WWE Divas, but was eliminated second by the Bella Twins.
