She finally returned to WWE television as a heel on July 7th, 2002 to side with Molly Holly and become then heel, Steven Richards' valet. She also wrestled in the Women's Division, becoming the WWE Women's Champion on November 17 at Survivor Series 2002.
She has since become a two-time Women's champion after defeating Molly Holly as a face in February 2004 on an episode of RAW.
On May 30,2005 Victoria attacked Christy Hemme following a swimsuit contest, citing jealousy at the opportunities Hemme had received. Her actions were met with applause by the audience.
