WWF/WWE career
A former performer for the Glorious Ladies of Wrestling (GLOW) promotion, Moretti was originally brought into the WWF (now the WWE) as a manager for D-lo Brown and Mark Henry. Her nickname "Ivory" was apparently derived from the fact that she was a caucasian managing two African American wrestlers - a reference to the song "Ebony and Ivory", which was sung by Paul McCartney and Stevie Wonder. She was their manager for a short time before quietly transitioning to other storylines, while retaining the Ivory nickname.
Moretti was a heel for most of her wrestling career, attacking many popular female performers in various storylines. Eventually she was "captured" by the conservative wrestling faction Right to Censor and "reprogrammed" to further the group's anti-WWF message. During her time with Right to Censor, her ring attire was changed to be less suggestive - wearing the formal black and white suits of the rest of the faction's members, as well as a long skirt. When the faction disbanded, she soon joined The Alliance, despite never having worked for WCW or ECW. After the Alliance broke up she was still a heel, but later sided with the fans and turned face.
Though still employed by WWE, her in-ring role has been significantly decreased and Moretti has primarily been used as a commentator on various WWE programs. Due to her new role in WWE, Moretti is free to work on the independent circuit.
