World Wrestling Entertainment (2006 - 2007)
In May 2006, Malawski signed a deal with World Wrestling Entertainment and was assigned to their developmental territory Deep South Wrestling. She made her Deep South in-ring debut at the June 27, 2006 TV tapings as simply Shantelle, where she lost against Krissy Vaine when Vaine grabbed her tights. On September 9, 2006, Malawski defeated Vaine at Deep South Wrestling Grand Park Slam event in Six Flags Over Georgia.

On August 13, 2007 Malawski was released from her developmental contract.[8] Following the release, she did not return to the independent circuit and was actually done with professional wrestling until TNA contacted her, as she had concentrated on pursuing a college degree instead.[7] In the February 2008 edition of WWE Magazine, she appeared in the section Sexy Superfan of the Month, appearing under the name of Shantelle M. six months after her dismissal from her WWE contract.

On June 19, she challenged Kong in the $25,000 challenge.[11] She was announced under the name Taylor, and despite losing, she was the closest out of any of the contestants to defeating Kong.[11] On the July 3 episode of Impact!, Taylor defeated Raisha Saeed and earned the right to face Kong again the following week in the $25,000 challenge, this time with the TNA Women's Knockout Championship also on the line.[12] The following week, now using the name "Taylor Wilde", she defeated Kong in the $25,000 challenge and won the championship.[5][13] Wilde then retained the title in a rematch at the 2008 Victory Road pay-per-view against Kong.[14]
