house show to win the OVW Women's Championship.[2][11] The following night, however, Crawford lost the championship back to Phoenix, who won an
eight-woman elimination match.[2][11] Crawford's championship win is unrecognized by OVW, and the promotion considers Phoenix's two reigns as champion as a single, uninterrupted reign.[2][12] Crawford continued to

The Bella Twins,
Eve Torres, Gail Kim, and Kelly Kelly.[33] She challenged
Melina two weeks later for the championship, but was unsuccessful.[34] Melina then vacated the Divas Championship due to injury, and a tournament was set up to determine the new champion in early January 2010.[35] Fox defeated Kelly Kelly in the first round of the tournament, but later lost to Gail Kim in the semi-finals.[36][37] Fox was on the winning team in a 10-Diva tag team match at

In May 2010, Fox began a storyline with
Zack Ryder, after he requested that she and Gail Kim be ringside on several occasions to watch his matches, so he could impress them and find a new valet.[41] During his match with
Evan Bourne on May 10, Fox interfered on Ryder's behalf, but was stopped by Gail Kim.[42] The following week, Bourne and Kim defeated Ryder and Fox in a mixed tag team match.[43] After the match, Fox attacked Ryder in order to collect a "bounty" from the
Raw guest host,

On June 20, 2010, at the
Fatal 4-Way pay-per-view, Fox competed in a
fatal four-way match for the
WWE Divas Championship, which also involved
Gail Kim,
Eve Torres, and
Maryse. Fox pinned Maryse to win the championship for the first time, and as a result became the only
African American wrestler to win the title.[8][9] In her first title defence, on the July 5 episode of Raw, Fox successfully defended the championship against Eve after feigning an ankle injury[45] and as a result, Eve was granted a rematch at
Money in the Bank by Raw's anonymous
General Manager, where Fox was again able to retain the championship.[46][47] In August,
Melina returned from an injury and attacked Fox, after the latter declared herself to be undefeatable and the greatest champion in history.[48] After defeating Fox in a non-title match on Raw,[49] Melina was granted a title shot, on August 15, at
SummerSlam, which she won, ending Fox's reign at 56 days.[50]

Various feuds (2011–2013)
On April 26, 2011, Fox was drafted back to the
SmackDown brand as part of the
2011 supplemental draft[57] and in her first match back for the brand she was defeated by

Kharma, following the loss.[58][59] On the May 27 episode of SmackDown, in her return, Fox and
Tamina Snuka defeated the team of
Kaitlyn and
AJ Lee,[60] which later transitioned into a
feud between the two sets of Divas, with Fox and Tamina regularly winning tag team matches and allying with
Rosa Mendes.[61][62] The alliance between Fox and Tamina ended on the August 11 episode of WWE Superstars, when Fox defeated Tamina in a singles match.[63]
After a tag team match, which they lost, on the August 19 episode of SmackDown, Fox was attacked by Natalya, which provoked a feud between the two.[64] She began acting as a
face while wrestling alongside several different Divas to face Natalya and
Beth Phoenix, collectively known as
The Divas of Doom, in tag team matches,[65] and also regularly competing against them in singles matches.[66][67] As part of the
storyline, Fox also prevented Natalya and Phoenix from attacking other Divas, including
Kelly Kelly[68] and AJ.[69] The storyline continued sporadically throughout the first half of 2012, with Fox losing tag team[70] and singles matches to Phoenix and Natalya.[71][72]
Fox spent the remainder of 2012 and early 2013 competing in sporadic matches, usually on the losing side.[2] In mid–2013, Fox appeared on the rebooted NXT, entering a tournament to determine the inaugural
NXT Women's Champion, where she defeated
Bayley in the first round, but lost to
Paige in the semi-finals.[73][74]
"Foxsana"

Since January 2014, Fox formed a tag team with
Aksana, later dubbed "Foxsana".[76][77][78] On April 6, Fox competed at
WrestleMania XXX in the 14-
Diva "
Vickie Guerrero Invitational match" for the
WWE Divas Championship, which was won by the defending champion
AJ Lee.[79] After that, Fox started a feud with the newly crowned WWE Divas Champion
Paige, losing to her in a series of matches on Raw,[80]Main Event,[81] and WWE Superstars.[82] Her losses provoked a storyline, in which she lost her temper after matches, taunting the
ring announcers, ringside crew, and crowd and defacing the ringside area.[83][84] Fox was eventually able to defeat Paige on Raw on May 19 in a non-title match and celebrated by taking
Jerry Lawler's crown afterwards.[85] Her victory set up a title match between the two at
Payback, on June 1, which Fox lost.[86] Following a further loss to Paige on June 9, Fox attacked tag team partner Aksana, before defeating her in a match on SmackDown, officially disbanding Foxsana.[87][88] Fox subsequently entered into a feud with
Nikki Bella after being appointed by
Stephanie McMahon to berate her in a series of handicap matches. Meanwhile, Fox continued to throw temper tantrums during her matches throughout the summer, and even tormented
Tom Phillips in a number of backstage segments on the WWE App.[89]
After a hiatus, Fox returned to WWE television, on the September 29 episode of Raw, where she defeated AJ Lee, with the help of her former rival Paige[90] and subsequently, formed an alliance with her, and went on to pick up another win over AJ on October 20.[91] However, when Fox inadvertently cost Paige a title match at
Hell in a Cell,[92] Paige dissolved the alliance by attacking her the following night on Raw.[93] This prompted a traditional four-on-four
elimination tag team match, with each captaining a side, at the
Survivor Series pay-per-view in November, where Fox's team won the match with a clean sweep.[94] In January 2015, Fox developed a rivalry with Naomi, during which she formed a brief alliance with The Miz and Damien Mizdow, and the trio went on to defeat Naomi and

Women's revolution (2015–2017)
On June 15, 2015, Fox was a part of the Divas that
Paige tried to rally on Raw in an attempt to take a stand against
The Bella Twins and join her, but no one accepted the offer.[98] Three days later on SmackDown, Fox assisted
Brie Bella in her match against Paige, and thus aligning herself with The Bella Twins and formed "Team Bella".[99][100] After weeks of Team Bella outnumbering Paige,
Naomi, and
Tamina,
Stephanie McMahon called for a "revolution" in the
WWE Divas Division by introducing the debuting
Charlotte and
Becky Lynch as Paige's allies, and NXT Women's Champion
Sasha Banks aligning with Naomi and Tamina, leading to a brawl between the three teams.[101][102] The three teams would ultimately face off, on August 23, at
SummerSlam in a
three team elimination match. Team Bella would first eliminate
Team B.A.D. when Brie Bella pinned Tamina, however Team PCB would win the match after Brie was pinned by Becky Lynch.[103][104] On the August 25 episode of Tough Enough, Fox made a special appearance on the finale of the

on-screen relationship with
Cedric Alexander by kissing him before his match against
Noam Dar, in which Alexander was defeated. Dar dedicated his victory to Fox.[126] Two weeks later on Raw, Fox accompanied Alexander in a rematch against Dar, where he was victorious. Dar attempted to seduce her again afterwards.[127] On January 10, 2017, an incensed Fox threw a backstage fit after Alexander severed ties with her on 205 Live, following her interference during his match with Dar, which eventually costed him the match.[128] Subsequently, Fox became Dar's new valet. During this time, she began receiving gifts during matches on 205 Live, which Dar passed off as his. On one occasion, Fox was seen eating the flowers gifted to her at ringside, slowly displaying traits of her "crazy" gimmick again. It was eventually revealed that the sender of these gifts was
Rich Swann, who subsequently turned down Fox as an act of revenge against her for Cedric Alexander, as she threw another fit.[129] On June 4, Fox and Dar were defeated by
Rich Swann and
Sasha Banks in a mixed tag team match at
