World Wrestling Entertainment
SmackDown!
Marshall first entered World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE) as a contestant in the 2005 RAW Diva Search. She eventually finished fourth in contest, which was ultimately won by Ashley Massaro. Despite not winning the Diva Search, Marshall was signed to a development deal soon after the contest finished and sent to farm territory Deep South Wrestling. 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.
Marshall's first feud came against Jillian Hall. On the March 10th edition of SmackDown! Marshall defeated Hall in a "Divas Uncovered" match, her first actual match.
When fellow Diva Search contestant Ashley Massaro joined SmackDown!, Marshall turned heel, revealing a 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 (legitly) injured herself. 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 edition of SmackDown!, Marshall won the a "Trick-Or-Treat Battle Royal" over Jillian Hall, Michelle McCool, Ashley Massaro and Layla El when Mike "The Miz" Mizanin pulled El (whom he'd had issues with) off the ring apron. This led to a short teaming of Miz and Marshall in a short feud against The Boogeyman, who had begun to stalk them both.
Other media
During its initial run on NBC, Kristal Marshall was a model on Deal or No Deal, holding case number five. She has also been featured in commercials for The Best Damn Sports Show Period as well as music videos for artists such as 50 Cent and Ma$e.
