After training in the company's Power Plant wrestling school, McCullum made her professional wrestling debut in 2000 under the ring name Midajah as part of a group of fitness models (Tylene Buck, April Hunter, Shakira (Kim Kanner) and Pamela Paulshock) known as the nWo girls.[4] Midajah and Shakira soon transitioned into being the valets of Scott Steiner, who subsequently nicknamed them his "Freaks".
