Career

Drew started in the wrestling business in January 1999 as a manager in IWF.[5] She also began training to become a wrestler around that time with Gino Caruso at ECPW and worked as a manager and an occasional wrestler in various federations on the east coast.[5] By 2003, she was working primarily as a wrestler.[5] She bounced around the independent circuit until September 2005. The same year Drew started wrestling for Ohio Valley Wrestling (OVW) relocating to Louisville, Kentucky.[6] In 2006, Drew was signed to a developmental contract by World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE).[6]

World Wrestling Entertainment

Ohio Valley Wrestling

Drew made her debut as Cherry Pie, valet of The Throwbacks (Deuce and Domino) in Ohio Valley Wrestling.[2] She became part of their 1950s gimmick, wearing poodle skirts and roller skates and chewing gum at all times.[5] In mid 2006, she dropped the "Pie" part of her name to become known as "Cherry".[2] At the end of 2006, Shawn Spears and Cody Runnels defeated The Throwbacks in a tag team match, and won the services of Cherry.[2][7] Cherry accompanied Spears and Runnels to ringside, and soon Spears began to have a crush on her, which began interfering in their matches.[2][8][9] Cherry turned on Spears and Runnels, however, and helped Deuce 'N Domino win the OVW Southern Tag Team Championship.[2][10]

SmackDown!

Cherry made her WWE debut on the January 19, 2007 edition of Smackdown! managing Deuce 'N Domino,[11] though she was rarely physically involved in their matches. On the April 20, edition of SmackDown!, Cherry was in the corner of Deuce 'N Domino when they captured the WWE Tag Team Titles.[12][13]

On March 7, 2008 edition of SmackDown! Cherry competed in a Swimsuit Contest, along with Maryse, Victoria, Eve Torres, and Michelle McCool.[14][15] On the March 28, 2008 episode of SmackDown! Cherry turned face by teaming with Michelle McCool to defeat Victoria and Maryse. She made her WWE singles match debut defeating Victoria with a rollup after a distraction from Michelle McCool on the April 18, 2008 edition of Smackdown. On April 27, 2008 the tenth annual Backlash pay-per-view saw Cherry made her pay-per-view debut in a 12 Diva Tag Team match, which her team lost.

On a "SmackDown after the bell video" on WWE.com she was dumped by Deuce N Domino for Maryse when they announced that they wanted nothing more to do with her.[16]
