Morasca made her professional wrestling debut on the March 12, 2009, episode of [[Total Nonstop Action Wrestling]]'s ''[[TNA Impact!]]'' program, in a backstage interview with [[Mick Foley]]. She then appeared in backstage segments with [[Kevin Nash]] and his alliance [[The Main Event Mafia]]. It was later revealed by [[Kurt Angle]] that Morasca was the financial backer to the Mafia, and the money she provided was used to lure [[Samoa Joe]] to the stable, establishing Morasca as a heel in the process. Morasca was regularly seen bickering with fellow Mafia valet [[Sharmell Sullivan-Huffman|Sharmell]], leading to a catfight backstage on the edition of May 28 edition of ''Impact!''.{{citation needed|date=October 2021}}

''Figure Four Weekly''{{'s}} [[Bryan Alvarez]], reviewing Victory Road for ''The Bryan and Vinny Show'', called it the worst women's match he had ever seen. Giving it a minus 5-star rating, he said he was unable to remember the last time he had done so because it had been so long since he had seen a match that bad.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.f4wonline.com/podcasts/bryan-and-vinny-show/july-31-2009-bryan-and-vinny-show-173741|author=Meltzer, Dave; Alvarez, Brian|title=July 31 2009 Bryan and Vinny Show|publisher=Wrestling Observer Figure Four Online|date=July 2009|archive-date=September 4, 2014|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140904230849/http://www.f4wonline.com/radio-archive/bryan-and-vinny?year=2009&month=7&limit=20&order=DESC}}</ref> Reviewing the match for [[WrestleCrap]], "Triple Kelly" Kelly Parmalee called it "the absolute worst wrestling match I have EVER seen in my life" and compared it negatively to "That [[Jackie Gayda]] Match" from the July 8, 2002, episode of ''[[WWE Raw|Monday Night Raw]]''.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://wrestlecrap.com/inductions/jenna-vs-sharmell-its-official-were-in-hell/|title=Jenna vs. Sharmell: It's Official, We're In Hell|date=December 26, 2012|publisher=WrestleCrap|access-date=July 2, 2021}}</ref>
