Brock Lesnar is an interesting individual who likes to keep his life outside the arena private. Similar to him, one of his closest partners has also kept his personal life away from all media.

As The Beast has earned a vast fandom with his astonishing performances, many are interested in knowing what is happening in his life. When Lesnar left WWE, he became a major part of the new brand ECW under WWE.

Lesnar’s closest partner was Paul Heyman and while restarting ECW, Heyman had brought many new talents for WWE’s then developmental territory, OVW aka Ohio Valley Wrestling. Surprisingly, one of the newest female OVW superstars was obsessed with the current Special Counsel.

Shelly Martinez, who went by the name Ariel in WWE’s version of ECW, was on an Wrestling Shoot Interview recently. Martinez shared she wanted to get frisky with Paul Heyman during her time with the promotion.

Ariel said, “Most people, first of all, they see my look and automatically think that I just want to be on TV. I’m not sure what Cornette’s opinion of me was because I didn’t really have much interaction with him.”

She added, “But with Heyman, I knew he was a big fan of my looks. There was a time when I went through like a huge obsession with Heyman. I would have slept with him at one point, that’s how obsessed I was.” 

However, Martinez later explained how her obsession reduced when Heyman talked with her, as she didn’t know about wrestling. She claimed it broke her heart as she was crushing on The Advocate for a long time.

How long Shelly Martinez was in WWE?

Shelly Martinez signed a developmental deal with WWE in 2005 and was sent to OVW for training. WWE Legend Al Snow previously trained her at his wrestling school.

After two years of training, Martinez would debut on the WWE’s version of ECW in 2006, as Ariel. She was a tarot-reading fortune teller. Moreover, sometime later, Ariel joined Kevin Thorn as a valet.

However, it was a wrong call for Heyman at SummerSlam as Lesnar connected an F5 on Reigns’ Special Counsel. Paul Heyman landed on the announcer’s table after Lesnar hit an F5 on him.
