Like most wrestlers of her generation, Love had accomplished a lifelong dream by landing a WWE contract. However, just as she was earmarked for a main roster call-up in early 2006, an untimely injury ruined her moment in the sun. “I tore my ACL training, 10 days before I was supposed to debut [on “WWE Raw”],” Love rued. “So that put me out, actually before I was even medically cleared, so that was in January ’06, I tore it. I had surgery on March 1.”

“August 2006, I was brought to “SmackDown” to possibly do something,” Love continued. “I was placed in the crowd, and it was the first segment of the show. So, they were doing dark match “Velocity.” That’s when Booker [T] was doing his King Booker thing and he knighted Finlay and [William] Regal in the ring. My segment was supposed to be next. Then I got pulled from the floor by the guy who sat next to me. He said Vince [McMahon] rewrote the entire show as soon as it started, and my segment and the match that my segment was coming from were cut. He rewrote the whole show. Then it was like, ‘Well, we’ll probably have you back next week,’ and then that never happened.” Once her “WWE SmackDown” debut was abruptly put on hold, Love was told that she would receive another opportunity the following week. As fate would have it, she would be released not long after.

“I was supposed to go on a Tuesday to SmackDown because they were doing ECW before Smackdown, but then the Thursday prior, I got released,” Love revealed. Shortly after her WWE release, Love made a tour across the indies before landing a contract with TNA.
