Career
World
Wrestling Federation/Entertainment (2001-2004)
Tough Enough
and Ohio Valley Wrestling (2001)
Nidia won a year's contract with the World Wrestling
Federation after she co-won the first season of Tough
Enough, a show meant both to be a "WWF Superstar" talent
search, and a semi-documentary of the difficulties of
being a trainee professional wrestler. Guenard
made a few appearances on WWF episodes in 2001 before being sent to
the Ohio Valley Wrestling (OVW) promotion, with whom
WWE had a talent-development agreement. While in OVW she had a scripted rivalry with Victoria.
SmackDown!
(2002-2003)
Nidia debuted on the SmackDown! brand on the June 6, 2002
episode, in a backstage segment with The Hurricane and Jamie Noble, which
Noble and Nidia then became an on-screen couple undergoing a trailer trash
gimmick. [2] They
were both playing as heels, with Nidia leading Noble to several
wins, due to interference during the matches. At the King of the
Ring she led Noble to winning the Cruiserweight
Championship from The Hurricane.[3] She
then began to feud with Smackdown! Diva Torrie Wilson leading to many solo and mixed tag team
matches with Guenard and Noble against Wilson and various other
cruiserweights,
including Funaki, Billy Kidman, Rey Mysterio, and Brian
Kendrick.[4][5][6][7][8]
On the January 16, 2003 episode of Smackdown! Nidia was kayfabe blinded by Tajiri during a match between Tajiri
and Noble, after which Tajiri spewed his "Green mist" onto her face. Storyline-wise,
this encounter resulted in a physical 'injury' to Nidia. After
recovering, Nidia started appearing at ringside with sunglasses on, to 'sell'
the after effects of her injuries. During this time, Noble would
throw Nidia in front of various opponents at a match's climax,
to both save himself and let him later accuse them of "hitting a
woman", etc. Later in this storyline, Rey Mysterio revealed to
Nidia that Noble was exploiting her in the aforementioned manner,
resulting in Nidia turning against Noble. The two feuded,
culminating in a match at No Way Out in which Noble had to wear
a blindfold. True to character, Noble cheated to win as he removed
his blindfold during the match.
Raw
(2004)
Nidia was drafted to the Raw Brand on March 22, 2004. Where she became a
face, who claimed to be excited that she was drafted to the Raw,
where she can wrestle for the Women's Championship. She made
her debut match on the March 29, 2004 episode of Raw, defeating Molly Holly. She
then tag teamed regularly with Stacy Keibler and Victoria
against heels Trish
Stratus, Gail Kim,
Molly Holly, and Jazz. Nidia was released from her WWE
contract on November 3, 2004 along with several other performers,
in a routine purge of talent.[1]
Post-WWE
