From Diva To The DA’s Office: WWE’s Debra Shares Surprising Journey

Former WWE manager Debra may have spent years helping heels but now her life is dedicated to putting the bad guys of real-life behind bars. Appearing at Monopoly Events’ For The Love of Wresting, Debra shared the unlikely path her life took after leaving wrestling.

“I ended up going to University of Alabama and I received a Bachelor [degree] and then I received a master of science in criminal justice. From the University of Alabama, now I currently work for the District Attorney’s Office in New Orleans Louisiana so it’s been an interesting journey from wrestling to what I do now.”

Though Debra’s days in the wrestling inustry are in the past, the former WWE Women’s Champion had fond memories of her time. When asked by SoCal Val, Debra recalled being ‘Queen Deborah’ in WCW and working with Mick Foley as highlights of her career.

Debra also talked about the ‘puppies,’ the of-the-time description of her breasts that was brought up regularly on TV. While WWE’s stance of the sexualization of women has changed over the past decade or so, Debra simply chalked up her work with the puppies as “it was the Attitude Era.”

Today, the puppies are no longer a factor in Debra’s working life, but the legacy she built with fans continues to last to this day. Any would-be ne’erdowells should be wary of breaking the law in New Orleans, or find themselves face-to-face with the former WWE Women’s Champion.
