As soon as Gayda was awarded theTough Enough II contract, she worked several matches on theRaw andSmackDown! brands. On theJune 8,2002 episode ofVelocity,Gayda pushed the co-Tough Enough II winner,Linda Miles, off the top rope and causing her to lose her match againstIvory. establishing Gayda as aheel. Five days later onSmackDown!,the evil Gayda made her in-ring debut and teamed up with Ivory in a losing effort to Miles andTrish Stratus. However, in another one of her first TV matches (a tag team match withChristopher Nowinski against Trish Stratus andBradshaw on theJuly 8,2002 edition ofRaw from Philadelphia, Pennsylvania), Gayda botched several moves, the most infamous of which was a second-rope-Bulldog by Stratus, which Gaydasold too late.

She was sent toOhio Valley Wrestling for further training. While in OVW, she joined thestable known as "The Revolution", in addition tomanagingThe Basham Brothers andChris Kanyon. On June 16, 2003 she returned to WWE asMiss Jackie, managingRico.

Various Feuds and SmackDown (2004-2005)[]

In early 2004, Gayda teamed up withStacy Keibler, with the duo proclaiming themselves to be the WWE's hottestDivas and thought they deserved to grace the cover of Playboy magazine. This provoked afeud withSmackDown! divas and the Playboy co-cover girlsSable andTorrie Wilson. AtWrestleMania XX, Gayda and Keibler were defeated by Sable and Wilson in aPlayboy evening gown match.

In the secondWWE Draft, Gayda and Rico were traded toSmackDown! brand, where they eventually teamed up with Charlie Haas. InSeptember2004, Haas and Gayda were engaged, and their relationship was eventually incorporated into their on-screen characters.Dawn Marie announced the engagement of Gayda and Haas on theSeptember 30 episode ofSmackDown!, implying in the process that she and Haas were"more than just friends." This led to a catfight between Gayda and Dawn, which in turn led to anintergender tag match atNo Mercy pitting Gayda, Haas, and Rico against Dawn andThe Dudley Boyz. Gayda's team won the bout, yet Dawn Marie predicted that the relationship would not last very long. From that moment onwards, Dawn Marie tried her hardest to split the couple up. On the October 7 episode ofSmackDown!, Gayda found herself on the receiving end ofBilly Kidman'sBK Bomb. Shesold her injuries through the October tour of Europe by wearing a neck brace, only returning to action on the October 28 episode ofSmackDown! in Omaha, Nebraska, which saw Gayda hit the ring during a Halloween costume contest between Dawn and Torrie Wilson,spearing Dawn and tearing the clothes from her body. A vengeful Dawn then screamed to Gayda that it was not over. Dawn gained her revenge during an arm wrestling contest on theNovember 4 episode ofSmackDown!,headbutting Gayda and catfighting with her until Haas made the save. Dawn's allyHeidenreich then decimated Haas, dismissing Gayda's attempts to protect Haas by shoving her to the mat. On November 25 Gayda tried to gain revenge in a "pilgrim versus Indian" match, but both women were disqualified for ignoring the referee's instructions. The two divas fought once again onDecember 2, this time while wearing Christmas outfits. General ManagerTheodore Long finally announced a final encounter atArmageddon, appointing Haas as referee. Gayda lost the match, and her fianceé, as the relationship was broken when Haas revealed he had an affair with Dawn Marie. He then rejected Marie afterwards, saying he did not want either woman.

Gayda began wrestling as a singles performer. She appeared in numerousvignettes with the other divas until she and Haas were released from WWE onJuly 5,2005, along with many other WWE wrestlers.

Total Nonstop Action Wrestling (2005-2006)[]

On theNovember 26,2005 edition ofImpact!, Gayda made her debut lashing out atJeff Jarrett. Jarrett was shocked and frightened by Gayda's unexpected appearance and soon ordered her backstage. He was heard saying,"It's not what you think." After being pushed by Jarrett, Gayda slapped him and then went after his valet,Gail Kim. The following week, Gayda came out again to confront Jarrett. After pushing and slapping, the two had to be pulled apart by officials. AtTurning Point, the same thing happened in the main event match, but Gayda was restrained by officials. On theDecember 31 show,Don West tracked down Gayda for an interview. She said her being there had nothing to do with a love affair, but rather that Jarrett had promised her a spot on the TNA Roster, but while she was stuck at home, she turned on the television to see Kim in her place. She said she had a big secret about Jarrett that TNA Management would love to hear, but did not reveal what it was.

Gayda wonTNA's Knockout of the Year2005 on theJanuary 14,2006 edition ofImpact!. AtFinal Resolution, she ran into Raven after he lost his match. She told him that they had something in common, they were both being screwed by TNA Management. On theJanuary 28 edition ofImpact!, Gayda came down to ringside during a Jarrett versusJay Lethal match, to hand an audio tape to Kim. She then left, with a confused Kim soon following.

Jarrett then hiredAlex Shelley to video tape Gayda at her home, for blackmail. Shelley complied, returning a week later with a videotape. On theFebruary 18,2006 edition ofImpact!, she told Jarrett that he had won and that she would leave. Jarrett refused to comply and used the tape Shelley compiled of Gayda as blackmail to get her to join his stable. Jackie became the manager of Planet Jarrett. She feuded with Gail Kim in mid-2006. AtSacrifice Jackie announced that she was pregnant, so Kimkayfabe fired her. She has not appeared with TNA since and her photos have been removed from the Knockouts portion of the website. Shortly before her pictures were removed from the TNA website it was confirmed that Gayda parted ways with TNA.
