Aksana was employed by WWE for five years. In that time, she failed to stand out from the other WWE Divas. In fact, the only real difference she had was her thick Eastern European accent. Other than that, she was a completely nondescript Diva. Maybe its because the Divas Division is still in a state of flux, or maybe its because she was never given any kind of storyline, other than being enamored with Theodore Long for a while. What matters is that Aksana never did anything of use on the main roster, and thus she prevented other, more skilled women, from appearing on regular WWE programming. Aksanas career highlights are few and far between. In fact, one of her most memorable moments (in the worst possible way) was when she botched a knee drop and broke Naomis orbital bone. She was fired shortly after that, having spent five years on WWE programming drifting aimlessly in the Divas Division without ever showing much wrestling skill. So even though she was a female bodybuilder, she couldnt translate that prowess into a successful wrestling career. She was just another pretty face who failed to stand out, yet ended up taking a spot on the main womens roster and not making anything substantial out of it.
