After two years in WCW, Debra McMichael joined the then-WWF in 1998 and spent just over four years with the promotion. Far from a regular in-ring talent - only having nine matches during her tenure with the company - Debra was initially alongside Jeff Jarrett and Owen Hart, before then being involved on-screen with her then-husband 'Stone Cold' Steve Austin.

Debra's last WWE appearance of note saw her butting heads with Stephanie McMahon ahead of the 2002 Royal Rumble. There, the two embarked on a backstage brawl after arguing over whether Stone Cold or Triple H would be the winner of the eponymous Rumble match.

After a spell off TV, Debra was quietly released by WWE in June of that year. Of course, it would soon be made public that Debra and the Texas Rattlesnake's marriage was falling apart due to domestic abuse charges being levied at Austin. For the record, the WWE Hall of Famer pleaded a no contest on these charges and was given a year's probation, a $1,000 fine and ordered to carry out 80 hours of community service.

While Stone Cold would return to WWE TV in 2003, Debra would never again appear on WWE programming. The pair's divorce would be finalised in February '03, and Debra has largely remained out of the spotlight in the years since.
