Jacquelyn Suzanne Gayda-Haas (born November 3 1980) is a former American professional wrestler and valet, best known for her work in World Wrestling Entertainment's RAW and SmackDown! brands and in Total Nonstop Action Wrestling (TNA) as a TNA Knockout. She was awarded a contract with WWE after co-winning the second series of the reality television show "Tough Enough".

Career

World Wrestling Entertainment

2002-2003

As soon as Gayda was awarded the "Tough Enough" II contract, she worked several matches on the RAW and SmackDown! brands. She was sent to Ohio Valley Wrestling for further training. While in OVW, she joined the stable known as "The Revolution", in addition to managing The Basham Brothers and Chris Kanyon. On June 16, 2003 she returned to WWE as Miss Jackie, managing Rico [ [http://www.onlineworldofwrestling.com/results/raw/030616.html Raw results - June 16, 2003] ] .

2004-2005

In early 2004, Gayda teamed up with Stacy Keibler, with the duo proclaiming themselves to be the WWE's hottest divas. This provoked a feud with "SmackDown!" divas Sable and Torrie Wilson. At WrestleMania XX, Gayda and Keibler were defeated by Sable and Wilson in an evening gown match.

In the second WWE Draft, Gayda and Rico were traded to "SmackDown!" brand, [ [http://www.onlineworldofwrestling.com/results/raw/040322.html WWE Draft Lottery - March 22, 2004] ] where they eventually teamed up with Charlie Haas. In September 2004, Haas and Gayda were engaged, and their relationship was eventually incorporated into their on-screen characters. Dawn Marie announced the engagement of Gayda and Haas on the September 30 episode of "SmackDown!", implying in the process that she and Haas were "more than just friends." This led to a catfight between Gayda and Dawn, which in turn led to an intergender tag match at No Mercy pitting Gayda, Haas, and Rico against Dawn and The Dudley Boyz. Gayda's team won the bout, [cite news | author = PWI Staff | title = Pro Wrestling Illustrated presents: 2007 Wrestling almanac & book of facts | work = "Wrestling’s historical cards" | publisher = Kappa Publishing | date = 2007 | pages = 116 ] yet Dawn Marie predicted that the relationship would not last very long. From that moment onwards, Dawn Marie tried her hardest to split the couple up. On the October 7 episode of "SmackDown!", Gayda found herself on the receiving end of Billy Kidman's BK Bomb. She sold her injuries through the October tour of Europe by wearing a neckbrace, only returning to action on the October 28 episode of "SmackDown!", which saw Gayda hit the ring during a Halloween costume contest between Dawn and Torrie Wilson, spearing Dawn and tearing the clothes from her body. A vengeful Dawn then screamed to Gayda that it was not over. Dawn gained her revenge during an arm wrestling contest on the November 4 episode of "SmackDown!", headbutting Gayda and catfighting with her until Haas made the save. Dawn's ally Heidenreich then decimated Haas, dismissing Gayda's attempts to protect Haas by shoving her to the mat. On November 25 Gayda tried and gain revenge in a "pilgrim versus Indian" match, but both women were disqualified for ignoring the referee's instructions. The two divas fought once again on December 2, this time while wearing Christmas outfits. General Manager Theodore Long finally announced a final encounter at Armageddon, appointing Haas as referee. Gayda lost the match, and her fianceé, as the relationship was broken when Haas revealed he had an affair with Dawn Marie. He then rejected Marie afterwards, saying he did not want either woman.

Gayda began wrestling as a singles performer. She appeared in numerous vignettes with the other divas until she and Haas were released from WWE on June 8 2005, along with many other WWE wrestlers.

Independent circuit

Gayda has since worked for several independent promotions, including Ballpark Brawl, where Gayda was referred to as Just Jackie and defeated Traci Brooks, Nattie Neidhart, Jamie D, and April Hunter on August 13 2005. She also teamed with Hunter in a loss to Neidhart on August 14 2005.

In October 2005, the book entitled "Divas Uncovered" (a book that went behind the scenes with the divas, much like "WWE Unscripted") was released. Gayda, who was previously on the cover, was still featured in the book, despite her release.

Total Nonstop Action Wrestling

On the November 26 2005 edition of "iMPACT", Gayda made her debut lashing out at Jeff Jarrett. Jarrett was shocked and frightened by Gayda's unexpected appearance and soon ordered her backstage. He was heard saying, "It's not what you think." After being pushed by Jarrett, Gayda slapped him and then went after his valet, Gail Kim. The following week, Gayda came out again to confront Jarrett. After pushing and slapping, the two had to be pulled apart by officials. At Turning Point, the same thing happened in the main event match. However, Jackie was restrained by officials. On the December 31 show, Don West tracked down Jackie for an interview. She said her being there had nothing to do with a love affair, but rather that Jarrett had promised her a spot on the TNA Roster, but while she was stuck at home, she turned on the television to see Gail Kim in her place. She said she had a big secret about Jarrett that TNA Management would love to hear, but didn't reveal what it was.

Jackie won TNA's Knockout of the Year 2005 on the January 14 2006 edition of "iMPACT". At Final Resolution, she ran into Raven after he lost his match. She told him that they had something in common, they were both being screwed by TNA Management. On the January 28 edition of "iMPACT", Jackie came down to ringside during a Jarrett vs. Lethal match, to hand an audio tape to Gail Kim. She then left, with a confused Gail soon following.

Jarrett then hired Alex Shelley to video tape Jackie at her home, for blackmail. Shelley complied, returning a week later with a videotape. On the February 18 2006 edition of "iMPACT", she told Jeff Jarrett that he had won and that she would leave. Jarrett refused to comply and used the tape Shelley compiled of Gayda as blackmail to get her to join his stable. Jackie became the manager of Planet Jarrett. She feuded with Gail Kim in mid-2006. At Sacrifice Jackie announced that she was pregnant, so Kim kayfabe fired her. She has not appeared with TNA since and her photos have been removed from the Knockouts portion of the website.
