Debut (2008)
Frost made her first appearance in Ohio Valley Wrestling (OVW) as a production assistant in November 2008. During her first appearance she was carried out after being attacked by Pat Buck during a falls count anywhere match against Rob Conway. She was not seen again until Derby City Wrestling's final event Christmas Chaos 2008 during a match between Theta Lambda Psi against the team of Ben Eclipse (Benjamin Bray/Bennie the Producer) and Jesse Mercer where she came out to counter the interference of TLP's Reggie. DCW soon folded after that event and Devorah was used in various non wrestling roles within OVW. During this time period she would be best known for being the "tip girl" for Top Shelf Talent (Pat Buck and JD Maverick) during their regular pre match ritual.
On May 17, 2009, Frost—now under the moniker Epiphany—made her official wrestling debut as part of an eight female tag team match refereed by Sojourner Bolt at OVW's Future Talent Showcase 2009 event. Epiphany, along with Bailey Parker, Adrienne and former Belle Von Black (Belle Lovitz), was on the losing side against the team of CJ Lane, Taryn Shay, Jessica Cheyanne and Odessa Firechild. After that event Epiphany began touring full time with OVW competing in tag matches with various partners ranging from former DCW foe Moose and Omar Akbar to team "Von Black" teammates Adrienne and Bailey Parker during house shows.
Women's Champion (2009)
Things finally came to a head at OVW's Trial by Fire event on June 28, 2009. After getting the pinfall in her tag match with partner Andrew "the Director" Lacroix of The Network against Hog Wild and Taryn Shay she would make her presence felt later that night during a women's tag match taking out rivals CJ Lane and Jessica Cheyanne and then turning her attention to former partners Adrienne and Bailey Parker establishing her dominance and challenging the other females to take her on during OVW television. During the weeks following, Epiphany took out each female during one on one matches or attacking them during matches for which she was not scheduled. This behavior continued until OVW's Futureshock 2009 event on July 26 when Melody made her return to put a stop to Epiphany's interference. On the August 12, at the OVW TV Tapings, Epiphany defeated Melody to win the OVW Women's Championship. Her reign, ended on the October 7 OVW TV Tapings against Team Blossom.
Various Storylines (2010–present)
After time off Epiphany made her returned to the women's division as a spectator for match 1 of what would be a best of 3 series between Taryn Shay and C.J. Lane for contendership for the OVW Women's Title. She teamed with Taryn Shay and beat Josie and C.J. Lane on OVW episode 544. During the OVW episode 546 it was reported by Josie that Epiphany had attacked Shay in order to take her spot in a contendership match, which she would go on to lose via disqualification. She then got herself named the special referee for the Women's Title match between Josie and Shay on OVW episode 548, resulting in Epiphany giving the match to Shay by DQ and brawling with Josie. On OVW episode 550, Josie challenged Epiphany to a title match, which ended in a no contest when the remaining girls on the roster interfered in the match: Taryn Shay and CJ Lane on behalf of Epiphany and Team Blossom on behalf of Josie.
In 2011, Epiphany was regularly used in backstage segments. She had her first match on episode 624 in a eight-Diva tag team match, teaming with C.J. Lane, Taryn Shay and Sojo Darling in a losing effort to The Blossom Twins and Smother's Twisted Daughters (Izza Belle and Jessie Belle Smothers). In September, she was put into a storyline relationship with Benjamin Bray, which lead to a Battle Royal between all divas on the episode 629, whom Solo Darling won. Epiphany scored her first victory in a singles match against Hannah Blossom in a dark match, which after she attacked both twins on episode 637. [1] On episode 638, Lady JoJo and Epiphany formed alliance, which JoJo asked Epiphany to help her retain the Women's Championship on the Saturday Night Special on November 12. Epiphany agreed, and then faced Taeler Hendrix, whom she lost to after a distraction from Lady JoJo. [2]
