Stacy Keibler is an American actress, model, and former professional wrestler best known for her time in WWE (2001–2006) and WCW (1999–2001). Originally a Baltimore Ravens cheerleader, she transitioned into professional wrestling after winning a contest to become a WCW Nitro Girl. Her natural charisma and long-legged athleticism quickly made her a standout, leading to on-screen roles as a valet and manager for stars like Ric Flair and Shane Helms. When WWE acquired WCW in 2001, Keibler became one of the most recognizable Divas of the Ruthless Aggression era, blending in-ring competition with her signature charm and playful heel antics. She was often featured in high-profile segments, feuds, and entertainment-driven matches, solidifying herself as one of the biggest female stars of the early 2000s.
One of Keibler’s most memorable WWE moments came in 2002, when she auditioned to be Vince McMahon’s personal assistant, performing a sultry dance on his desk, which instantly became a classic WWE segment. Throughout her WWE career, she managed Test, The Dudley Boyz, and Randy Orton, while also competing against fellow Divas such as Trish Stratus and Torrie Wilson in a mix of wrestling matches and fan-favorite contests. Although she wasn’t a championship contender, her charismatic personality and entertainment value made her a key part of WWE programming. In 2006, Keibler left WWE to pursue acting, modeling, and television, later gaining mainstream fame on Dancing with the Stars. She was inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame in 2023, recognizing her influence in the company’s sports-entertainment era.
