InTotal Nonstop Action Wrestling (TNA) Finochio was first paired withKid Kash, after the two feuded (including a notably violent match between the two on April 27, 2003), as a valet and occasionally tag team partner. She was used as an equalizer for the likes ofDesire,Alexis Laree, andTraci Brooks.

Trinity defeated Desire on the June 23 Pay-Per-View in a stretcher match with assistance from Lograsso. At the2004 Victory Road pay-per-view Finochio defeatedJacqueline Moore in an open challenge.

After the NYC disbanded, Finochio entered into an angle with Brooks and TNA's Director of AuthorityDusty Rhodes, over the position of Rhodes' personal assistant. Brooks eventually won the job after her team ofThe Disciples of Destruction defeated Trinity'sPhi Delta Slam at the 2005Destination X. Trinity then became the manager ofMichael Shane, and again feuded with Brooks, as she had become the manager ofChris Sabin. The two ladies were the only on-screen female talent at the time. At the2005 Lockdown pay-per-view, Finochio executed aMoonsault from the top of a cage onto several competitors during an Xscape match. AtHard Justice, Trinity and Shane defeated Brooks and Sabin after Brooks turned on Sabin and Shane turned on Trinity. Finochio then left TNA, and rumors began to circulate that she was heading toWorld Wrestling Entertainment (WWE).

On March 17, 2013, Trinity returned to TNA as a heel at theKnockouts Knockdown pay-per-view that aired on September 6, 2013. At the PPV, the evil Trinity competed in a losing effort toODB.

After the match, Trinity started arguing with Beth. On April 1, Trinity defeatedSosay via submission, and was immediately attacked by Phoenix following the conclusion of the bout. Trinity lost a match to Beth Phoenix and was written out of OVW storylines for some time. During this stretch, it was reported that she would be moving toSmackDown! to manageOrlando Jordan. That idea was nixed and Jordan was released.

She returned to ECW television on the September 19, 2006 edition ofECW on Sci Fi when she appeared backstage greetingQueen Sharmell. OnOctober 31, 2006 edition ofECW on Sci Fi, Trinity won the first ever ECW Diva Halloween Costume Contest, beating Kelly Kelly andAriel.
