Modeling career

Prior to working for World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE) Marshall appeared as a competitor in the 2004 Miss California pageant,[4] as a model for Deal or No Deal,[5] in music videos for 50 Cent and Ma$e,[5] in commercials for The Best Damn Sports Show Period, and was at one time a Barker Beauty on The Price Is Right.[6]

Professional wrestling career

World Wrestling Entertainment (2005–2007)

Marshall first entered WWE as a contestant in the 2005 Raw Diva Search, in which she eventually finished fourth.[7] Despite not winning the Diva Search contract, Marshall was signed to a development deal soon after the contest finished and sent to Deep South Wrestling, WWE newest "farm territory" at that time.[1] In December 2005, she joined the SmackDown! roster as a backstage correspondent,[8] interviewing the brand's superstars during the shows.

Her first actual feud on the brand came against the heel run of Jillian Hall. Marshall defeated Hall in debut match—a "Divas Uncovered" match—on the March 10, 2006 SmackDown!.[9] When Diva Search winner Ashley Massaro joined the SmackDown! brand, Marshall was turned heel and put into an angle where she was jealous of Massaro's Diva Search win.[10] She was aligned with Michelle McCool and the two feuded with Massaro and then-babyface, Jillian Hall,[11] leading to a Fatal Four-Way Bra and Panties match at The Great American Bash,[12] during which Marshall was legitimately injured,[13] though she did not miss any time. In September, the next years Diva Search winner, then-babyface, Layla El, arrived on the brand, and Marshall was put into a feud with her.[14] This one had Marshall aligned with Mike "The Miz" Mizanin against Layla and the Boogeyman.[15]

In February 2007, Marshall became a face again and began a storyline which had her as a close friend of then-babyface, Vickie Guerrero, who was mysteriously planning something,[16] and then flirting with SmackDown General Manager Theodore Long.[17] After Marshall confessed her love for Long,[18] she convinced him to hire Guerrero as his assistant,[19][20] leaving her in charge of the show on occasion.[21] Eventually Long proposed marriage,[22] only to suffer a (kayfabe) heart attack during the in-ring wedding on September 21. She was released from her WWE contract a few weeks later.[23]

Total Nonstop Action Wrestling (2009–present)

On October 18, 2009, at Total Nonstop Action Wrestling's Bound for Glory Marshall, dubbed as Kristal Lashley, debuted as a member of the crowd cheering on her husband Bobby Lashley during his match with Samoa Joe.[24] She then started an angle with Scott Steiner where Steiner kept harassing her in the crowd during his and Lashley's matches.[25][26] On the November 5 edition of TNA Impact! Marshall accompanied Lashley to the ring but was sent backstage by the referee where Steiner would try to kidnap her but would get stopped by Lashley.[27] She made her TNA in-ring debut on the December 12 edition of Impact! teaming with Lashley in a losing effort against Steiner and Awesome Kong in a mixed tag team match. On the January 4, 2010, Monday night edition of Impact! Bobby and Kristal Lashley requested for their kayfabe immediate release from TNA Wrestling, turning heel in the process. [28]

Personal life

She is currently dating TNA wrestler Bobby Lashley.[2] The couple had a son named Myles in July 2008.[29][30]
