Career
World Championship Wrestling (1999-2001)
She joined WCW's Nitro Girls in 1999 as Nitro Girl Storm. She soon left them to became a valet for The Artist called Paisley. She feuded with Tammy Lynn Sytch and wrestled her several times. Sullivan was then part of the pop music group Diversity 5 with other former Nitro Girls.
World Wrestling Federation (2001-2002)
When WCW was purchased by Vince McMahon in mid 2001, Sharmell was brought along to be a backstage interviewer for the WWF (now WWE). She was later sent to the WWF's developmental territory, Ohio Valley Wrestling. Sharmell suffered an injury in April 2002 that took her off TV for a long time. She was eventually released in August 2002.
Sharmell's Return (2005)
Sharmell returned to WWE as a Face Diva. Sharmell Sullivan married wrestler Booker T in February 2005. She returned to WWE television's SmackDown! brand alongside her husband in April 2005. They immediately got into a feud with Kurt Angle, where Angle called Sharmell a "gutter slut" and started stalking her, claiming that's what he liked. The feud ended when Booker T beat Angle at Judgement Day 2005. Afterward Angle tried to handcuff Sharmell to the ring, but Booker T stopped him and handcuffed him instead. Angle got beaten by Booker, then slapped repeatedly by Sharmell, who finished by kicking Angle in the groin. Angle was drafted to the RAW roster of the WWE.
Sharmell was involved in a short feud with MNM and Jillian Hall, as part of a storyline where MNM member Melina was trying to show her dominace over the other SmackDown! Divas. Melina defeated Sharmell.
After this small feud Sharmell began to show frustration over Booker T's weak win/loss record at the time. She began providing assistance to Booker T during his matches, which usually lead to a win, assistance Booker didnt want.
Heel Turn (2005)
Sharmell turned heel when she started interfering with Booker T's matches. Tripping Rey Mysterio gave Booker T a chance to have a shot at the WWE United States Championship title which was held by Chris Benoit at the time. Sharmell's assistance and aid to Booker T made Chris Benoit lose his title against Booker T when Sharmell gave Chris Benoit a low blow when Booker T and the referee were both distracted. Thus Booker T became the new WWE United States Champion. Booker T doesn't know that he's winning because of his wife's assistance.
