WWE SummerSlam 2004 is most remembered for Randy Orton defeating Chris Benoit to become the youngest WWE World Champion.
However, earlier in the night, a different kind of competition took place as WWE Divas battled in Diva Dodgeball.
Speaking on Cafe De Rene with Rene Dupree, Joy Giovanni, who was on Team Diva Search, reflected on the evening.
"We were told to not socialize with you guys when we came. We were told that we were not allowed to leave our cubby hole locker room. With anyone. I'm sure [not talking to men] was the undertone, but anyone, even the women. We came off as being stuck up, but we were told, 'You are not allowed to be out of this room, period. Unless someone comes and gets you, don't leave.' That's what happened. You know how it is. They stir the pot. I took a different approach. I grew up around guys, had guy friends, was around sports teams, I knew that if you didn't want to get hit on by the guys then you be one of the guys. You be their friend, keep that line strong. I didn't have problems with anyone because it wasn't like that in my small group when we hung out," she said.
Giovanni was released by WWE in July 2005.
