World Wrestling Entertainment
In 2003, Loewen appeared on World Wrestling Entertainment's Raw brand, escorting Lance Storm and Val Venis to the ring on the December 8 episode. After getting signed by WWE the following year, Loewen made her second appearance on Raw, as a model who tried to get a job as a diva through Raw General Manager Eric Bischoff. Loewen was then moved to the SmackDown! brand. Her first appearance was with the recently hired Lauren Jones as they complimented John Cena on his new belt. On the next SmackDown! taping Cena entered into a Rap contest against Kenzo Suzuki, and he invited Loewen and other SmackDown! divas Michelle McCool and Lauren Jones to join him at ringside.[4]

In one incident Loewen, Dawn Marie, Michelle McCool and Jones distracted fellow wrestler Amy Weber while Joy Giovanni sneaked up behind her and proceeded to pour her milkshake all over Weber much to the amusement of the other wrestlers.

This would be one of Loewen's last appearances with WWE as she left the company a few weeks later.
