The two became involved in Big Show's feud with JBL, with Giovanni as the on-screen girlfriend of Big Show. The feud included a part where Joy was kidnapped and discovered, bound and gagged in JBL's limo trunk, as well as a backstage catfight between Amy and herself. After Weber's departure from WWE, Joy won the 2005 Rookie Diva of the Year contest at No Way Out.[1] After this win, she occasionally appeared on SmackDown! during backstage segments with other Divas or occasional bikini and lingerie contests before she was released from her contract in the summer of 2005.[1]
