Eva Marie's WWE push did not amount to anything

#2 Christie Hemmie

Christie Hemmie debuted on WWE RAW as a participant of the 2004 Diva Search and she promptly won the competition, earning a $250,000 contract with the company. At a time when WWE was looking for a foil to Women's Champion Trish Stratus, the Creative decided that Hemmie - who had little to no experience in the ring - would be the answer.

She would replace an injured Lita in the plans for Wrestlemania 21, setting up a match with Trish Stratus. A match that should have crowned a new player in the women's division ended up going Trish's way as WWE wasn't convinced of Hemmie's in-ring skills.

Hulk Hogan to manage WWE's top heel?

Hemmie would later move on to feuds with Victoria and Melina and also managed the Road Warriors for a while. With the need to improve her skills more apparent, WWE demoted her to the developmental territory OVW, which eventually led to Hemmie getting released from her contract.
