Encyclopedia

and valet
, best known for her work on World Wrestling Entertainment
(WWE)'s Raw
and SmackDown! brands and in Total Nonstop Action Wrestling
(TNA) as a TNA Knockout
. She was awarded a contract with WWE after co-winning the second series of the reality television show
Tough Enough
.
II contract, she worked several matches on the Raw
and SmackDown! brands. Gayda turned heel
on an episode of Velocity
by pushing the co-Tough Enough II winner, Linda Miles
, top rope causing her to lose her match against Ivory
. Gayda then began teaming up with Ivory and taking on Miles and Trish Stratus
in a series of tag team matches. In one of her first TV matches (a tag team match with Christopher Nowinski
against Trish Stratus and Bradshaw
on the July 8, 2002 edition of Raw
from Philadelphia, Pennsylvania
), botched several moves, the most infamous of which was a second-rope-bulldog by Stratus, which Gayda sold too late.
She was sent to Ohio Valley Wrestling
for further training. While in OVW, she joined the stable known as "The Revolution", in addition to managing
The Basham Brothers
and Chris Kanyon
. On June 16, 2003 she returned to WWE as Miss Jackie, managing Rico
. She would later turn face after Rico's face turn.
, with the duo proclaiming themselves to be the WWE's hottest divas
and thought they deserved to grace the cover of Playboy magazine. This provoked a feud
with SmackDown! divas and the Playboy co-cover girls Sable
and Torrie Wilson
. At WrestleMania XX
, Gayda and Keibler were defeated by Sable and Wilson in an Playboy evening gown match.
In the second WWE Draft, Gayda and Rico were traded to SmackDown! brand, where they eventually teamed up with Charlie Haas. In September 2004, 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 the September 30 episode of SmackDown!, 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 an intergender tag match at No Mercy
pitting Gayda, Haas, and Rico against Dawn and The 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 of SmackDown!, Gayda found herself on the receiving end of Billy Kidman's BK Bomb. She sold her injuries through the October tour of Europe by wearing a neckbrace, only returning to action on the October 28 episode of SmackDown! 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 the November 4 episode of SmackDown!, headbutting Gayda and catfighting with her until Haas made the save. Dawn's ally Heidenreich
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 on December 2, this time while wearing Christmas
outfits. General Manager Theodore Long
finally announced a final encounter at Armageddon
, 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 numerous vignettes with the other divas until she and Haas were released from WWE on July 5, 2005, along with many other WWE wrestlers.
promotions
, including Ballpark Brawl, where Gayda was referred to as Just Jackie and defeated Traci Brooks
, Nattie Neidhart
, Jamie D
, and April Hunter
on August 13, 2005. She also teamed with Hunter in a loss to Neidhart on August 14, 2005.
In October 2005, the book entitled Divas Uncovered (a book that went behind the scenes with the divas, much like WWE Unscripted) was released. Gayda, who was previously on the cover, was still featured in the book, despite her release.
, Gayda made her debut lashing out at Jeff 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. At Turning Point, the same thing happened in the main event match, but Gayda was restrained by officials. On the December 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 won TNA's Knockout of the Year 2005 on the January 14, 2006 edition of Impact!. At Final 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 the January 28 edition of Impact!, Gayda came down to ringside during a Jarrett versus Jay Lethal
match, to hand an audio tape to Kim. She then left, with a confused Kim soon following.
Jarrett then hired Alex Shelley
to video tape Gayda at her home, for blackmail. Shelley complied, returning a week later with a videotape. On the February 18, 2006 edition of Impact!, 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. At Sacrifice Jackie announced that she was pregnant, so Kim kayfabe
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.
In April 2009, Gayda returned to WWE for one-night only as a part of the 25 Diva battle royal at WrestleMania XXV
. She had apparently retired from professional wrestling after her match.
On August 30, 2010, Mexican promotion Perros del Mal Producciones
announced that Gayda, under the ring name Miss Jackie, would wrestle for the promotion on September 16, on the same card as her husband Charlie Haas
. At the event Jackie and Celestial defeated Jennifer Blake
and Mini Chessman in a tag team match. She appeared again on February 11, 2011, on the Viva La Lucha PPV, teaming with NY Knockout Nikki to take on Christina Von Eerie
and Jennifer Blake (a match that she won for her team, via crossbody into a pin).
