Shelly Martinez (born February 9, 1980) is an American model and professional wrestler currently working for World Wrestling Entertainment on its ECW brand under the ring name Ariel.
Ohio Valley Wrestling
In April 2005, Martinez signed a developmental contract with World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE). By July of that year she was placed in WWE's primary developmental territory, contra for further training. Shelly debuted in OVW as the co-manager for Aaron Stevens along with Beth Phoenix, a group which broke up within the year. While training in OVW Shelly participated in numerous feuds with the likes of Beth Phoenix, Serena, Sosay, and Fuji Cakes. Martinez beat Mickie James to win her debut singles match at an OVW house show on October 29. In late December, Shelly and Beth Phoenix revived their "co-manager" gimmick to accompany Aaron Stevens to the ring at several WWE SmackDown! house shows for tryout matches. They also appeared together on the January 27, 2006 episode of WWE HEAT as part of The Heart Throbs "Throb-o-Meter" section, dancing in the ring with The Heart Throbs and teasing a kiss, before being interrupted by Trevor Murdoch.
At the February 22, 2006 OVW TV Tapings, Shelly came to ringside and attacked Sosay during an Elijah Burke vs Robbie Dawber match. Around this time she started a gimmick of being "obsessed" with Paul Burchill who, at the time, was using a pirate gimmick on SmackDown!. As such she started dressing in pirate garb.
On the May 6, 2006 edition of WWE Velocity, Martinez appeared as buxom wench Shelly to manage Paul Burchill in his pirate gimmick for Burchill's match against The Road Warrior, however the angle was dropped after one match.
Martinez then became involved in Seth Skyfire's ongoing feud with Mike "The Miz" Mizanin and Roni Jonah

I saw her the first time on HEAT when she accompanied Pirate Paul Burchill to the ring. She looks better as a vampire
