Utilizing her skills honed while a dancer for the NBA’s Miami Heat, Layla won WWE’s 2006 Diva Search to gain entry into WWE.After making her first appearance that year at SummerSlam, the English-born beauty took her hot dance steps to ECW, where she wowed the WWE Universe as part of the Extreme Exposé Diva dance troupe.
By 2009, Layla joined forces with Michelle McCool to form Team Lay-Cool. The “Flawless” duo seemed inseparable, even going as far as referring to themselves as the self-professed "co-Women's Champions" when Michelle held the title.
But, it wouldn’t take long for Layla to enjoy her time in the spotlight.
With McCool at her side, Layla pinned Beth Phoenix on the May 14, 2010 edition of SmackDown to become the first ever British Women's Champion in a rare 2-on-1 Handicap Match for the Women’s Title.
Layla made history once again, as she helped Michelle defeat two-time Divas Champion Melina to unify the Divas and Women's Championships in a Lumberjills Match.
But things began to unravel between Layla and Michelle in 2011, culminating with a Loser Leaves WWE Match at Extreme Rules, which saw their friendship end and McCool leave the squared circle.
