After that she made several appearances in various newspapers, magazines and television programs in Canada,[citation needed] then became a glamour model, appearing on the cover and inside pages of Playboy Special Editions "Vixens" in June/July 2006. She was also on the cover of Playboy's "The Girls of Canada" 2007 Calendar. She also appeared on the special edition of Playboy called "Blondes, Brunettes and Redheads".

SmackDown!

On the September 22, 2006 edition of SmackDown!, Ouellet, known as simply Maryse, was shown on the TitanTron welcoming the Montreal viewers (in French) to the season premiere of SmackDown! on the new CW Network. In January 2007, Maryse returned to SmackDown! in more pre-taped vignettes welcoming viewers back to the show in both English and French. Maryse made her first actual TV appearance with her entrance theme on the May 21, 2007 edition of Raw to present Timbaland's new video "Throw It on Me" in which she had appeared. In October 2007, Maryse participated in the WWE European Tour with the SmackDown! brand, where she teamed with Michelle McCool in defeating Victoria and Katie Lea in a series of tag team matches.

By the time she began appearing regularly on SmackDown!, she adopted a snobby attitude, thus becoming a villain. On the March 7, 2008 edition of SmackDown, Maryse competed in a swimsuit contest, against Victoria, Michelle McCool, Cherry, and Eve Torres. In the end, Maryse and Eve got into a heated battle. On March 14, Maryse was the first eliminated from the swimsuit competition. On March 28, Maryse competed in a "Wet and Wild" match where she teamed with Victoria against Cherry and McCool in a losing effort. On a "SmackDown after the bell video" on WWE.com Deuce 'n Domino dumped Cherry (who had been their valet) and replaced her with Maryse. Maryse then insulted Cherry, only for Cherry to slap her. On the May 16, 2008 edition of SmackDown, she made her television in-ring debut in a losing effort to Cherry, though defeated her in a rematch with a roundhouse kick weeks later.[5] For weeks, Maryse teamed with Victoria and Natalya against Cherry, Michelle McCool and Maria. Maryse then suffered a minor broken nose after receiving a bulldog from Maria.[6]

Maryse lost in her first title match for the WWE Divas Championship against Michelle McCool at Unforgiven, resulting in a feud between the two Divas. She then came up short once again in title rematch on SmackDown! on the September 24 edition of ECW, Maryse defeated McCool in a non-title match. After being off television for a month, Maryse returned at Survivor Series to participate in the five-on-five SmackDown vs. Raw Divas Elimination match. Maryse was the sole survivor of the SmackDown team, but ultimately was eliminated by Beth Phoenix. On the December 26, 2008 edition of SmackDown!, Maryse beat Michelle McCool to become the new Divas Champion. On December 28, at a house show, Maryse injured her knee in a tag team match against The Bella Twins.[7]
