Kristal Marshall (born November 11 1983), is an American model and former WWE Diva best known for her work in World Wrestling Entertainment on its SmackDown! brand.

Career

Prior to working for World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE) Marshall appeared as a competitor in the 2004 Miss California pageant,[2] as a model for Deal or No Deal,[3] in music videos for 50 Cent and Ma$e,[3] in commercials for The Best Damn Sports Show Period, and was at one time a Barker Beauty on The Price Is Right.[4]

World Wrestling Entertainment (2005-2007)

Marshall first entered WWE as a contestant in the 2005 RAW Diva Search, in which she eventually finished fourth.[5] 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 of 2005, she joined the SmackDown! roster as a backstage correspondent,[6] interviewing the brand's superstars during the shows. Her first actual feud on the brand came against Jillian Hall. Marshall defeated Hall in debut match—a "Divas Uncovered" match—on the March 10 2006 SmackDown!.[7] 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.[8] She was aligned with Michelle McCool and the two feuded with Massaro and Jillian Hall,[9] leading to a Fatal Four Way Bra and Panties match at The Great American Bash,[10] during which Marshall was (legitimately) injured,[11] though she didn't miss any time. In September, the next years Diva Search winner, Layla El, arrived on the brand Marshall was put into a feud with her.[12] This one had Marshall aligned with Mike "The Miz" Mizanin against Layla and the Boogeyman.[13] Kristal competed in the first ever Extreme Strip Poker segment on ECW on October 10 representing SmackDown! alongside fellow smackdown diva Ashley.

In February 2007, Marshall began a storyline which had her as a close friend of Vickie Guerrero, who was mysteriously planning something,[14] and then flirting with SmackDown! General Manager Theodore Long.[15] After Marshall confessed her love for Long,[16] she convinced him to hire Guerrero as his assistant,[17][18] leaving her in charge of the show on occasion.[19] Eventually Long proposed marriage,[20] only to suffer a heart attack (kayfabe) during the in-ring wedding on September 21. She was later released from her WWE contract a few weeks later.[21].
