Kristal Marshall (born November 11, 1983), better known simply as Kristal, is an American model and professional wrestler currently working for World Wrestling Entertainment on its SmackDown! brand.

Career

Prior to working for World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE) Marshall appeared as a competitor in the 2004 Miss California pageant, as a model for Deal or No Deal, in music videos for 50 Cent and Ma$e, in commercials for The Best Damn Sports Show Period, and was at one time a Barker Beauty on The Price Is Right.

World Wrestling Entertainment

2005

She first entered WWE as a contestant in the 2005 RAW Diva Search, in which she eventually finished fourth. Despite not winning the Diva Search, Marshall was signed to a development deal soon after the contest finished and sent to Deep South Wrestling (WWE's newest developmental facility at that time). In December of 2005, she joined the SmackDown! roster as a backstage correspondent, interviewing many of the brand's superstars during episodes of SmackDown! and pay-per-view events

2006

Marshall's first actual feud on the brand came against Jillian Hall. Marshall defeated Hall in her first match - a "Divas Uncovered" match - on the March 10, 2006 SmackDown!.

When fellow Diva Search contestant Ashley Massaro joined SmackDown!, Marshall turned heel, revealing a (kayfabe) bristling jealousy towards Massaro over her win in the 2005 Diva Search. She aligned herself with Michelle McCool and the two feuded with Massaro and Jillian Hall. This led to a Fatal Four Way Bra and Panties match at The Great American Bash, during which Marshall was (legitimately) injured. Despite her injury, she maintained her feud and gained victories over both Massaro and Hall in singles matches.

When 2006 Diva Search winner Layla El arrived on SmackDown! Marshall immediately warned her about trying to make a name for herself. On the October 27, 2006 edition of SmackDown!, Marshall won a "Trick-Or-Treat" Battle Royal over Jillian Hall, Michelle McCool, Ashley Massaro and Layla El when Mike "The Miz" Mizanin pulled Layla (who he'd been having issues with) off the ring apron. This led to a short term teaming of Miz and Marshall in a short feud against Layla, during which Miz and Marshall found themselves being "stalked" by The Boogeyman. This feud ended after The Boogeyman moved into a feud with Finlay and Marshall was placed back into her role as a backstage interviewer.

2007

Beginning in February 2007 Marshall began a storyline which had her as a close friend of Vickie Guerrero, who was mysteriously planning something, and then flirted with SmackDown! General Manager Theodore Long. On the April 27, 2007 edition of SmackDown!, Marshall confessed her love for Long then sealed it with a kiss. Marshall and Long then went on to be a couple as Marshall helped Long search for an assistant so they could spend more time together. She suggested Guerrero, who would be interviewed and hired for the position on the May 18, 2007 edition of SmackDown!. On the June 22, 2007 SmackDown!, Long (kayfabe) asked Marshall to marry him in the ring. With tears in her eyes, she ran away to her dressing room. When later approached backstage, she asked to see the ring again and agreed to marry him.
