In 2001, Sharmell joined WWF as a full-time in-ring performer and backstage interviewer. But her wrestling dream came crashing down as she suffered a serious knee injury. But in 2005, re-entered the wrestling world, this time with WWE.

It was also the year she tied the knot with Booker, and when she came to the WWE, she was introduced as the valet for her husband. During her time in WWE, Shannon was part of one of the storylines that the former WWE champion, Kurt Angle, says was one of the worst ones who took part in.

During the entire storyline, Kurt stalked Sharmell. Angle said that was the most embarrassing storyline, as he respected Booker and Sharmell. 

In 2006, after Booker T won the King of the Ring Tournament, he was crowned “King Booker” and Sharmell as “Queen Sharmell.” In 2007, the couple left WWE and debuted in TNA later that year.

After two years in TNA, Sharmell left the company and announced her retirement. With her husband, Booker, Sharmell has been involved in wrestling matches as well as business deals.
