Zivile is a former bodybuilder, fitness model and personal trainer who signed on with the WWE.  She made her debut in FCW under the ring name "Olga" which she changed a month later to "Aksana".  She managed Eli Cottonwood and was involved in a kidnapping storyline with Sweet Papi Sanchez.  On January 15, 2010 she defeated Serena Mancini, Naomi Night, Courtney Taylor and Liviana with AJ Lee, Savannah and Eve Torres.  She wrestled in several multi-Diva tag team matches and teamed with Hunico and Tito Nieves in a mixed tag team match on April 15, 2010 to defeat The Usos and Tamina Snuka.  When it was announced that the FCW was going to create a Divas Championship title, a tournament was created to determine who would be the inaugural champion.  Aksana participated in this and was defeated in the first round by Serena on April 29, 2010.  Aksana managed Johnny Curtis for two months and began hosting her own in-ring show, The Aksana Show.  On February 3rd, 2011, Aksana became the new Queen of FCW by defeating Rosa Mendes.  Aksana then joined a heel stable formed by FCW General Manager Maxine, the FCW Florida Heavyweight Champion Lucky Cannon, FCW Divas Champion AJ Lee and Damien Sandow.  On April 7th, 2011, Aksana became Divas champion after defeating AJ Lee, making her the first to hold the Queen of FCW and FCW Divas Championship titles simultaneously.  Aksana then proceeded to lose the Divas Championship to Audrey Marie on September 1st, 2011.

On August 31st, 2010, Aksana joined the third season of WWE's NXT with Goldust as her mentor.  On the first episode (Sept. 7th, 2010), she and Goldust participated in a mixed tag team match against AJ Lee and Primo, which they lost.  Aksana participated in a singles match the following week against Jamie Keyes and lost.  Aksana began to develop a storyline in which she was in danger of facing deportation from the United States.  On October 5th, 2010, she defeated Maxine in a singles match after winning a mechanical bull-riding competition.  The following week, Goldust proposed to Aksana so she could stay in the country, which Aksana agreed to.  On November 2nd, 2010, the wedding took place and just as Goldust was about to kiss his bride, Aksana turned heel by slapping him and walking off.  On the following NXT, Goldust confronted Aksana about what had transpired and she said that she never loved him and only married him to stay in the country.  Goldust responded to this by putting Aksana in a match against Naomi, which she (Aksana) lost.  On November 16th, 2010, Aksana was eliminated from NXT.  She returned on November 30th, 2010 for the season finale in which she teamed with Alicia Fox and Maxine against AJ Lee and The Bella Twins.  She lost the match.

Aksana made her debut on August 5th as a face and introduced herself to General Manager Theodore Long.  She made several backstage segments with him and formed a storyline relationship with him.  Aksana joined the Raw roster on October 3rd on giving Triple H a vote of no confidence and walked out with them.  On October 31st, Aksana competed in a Divas Halloween Costume battle royal match to become the number one contender for the WWE Divas Championship at the 2011 Survivor Series pay per view.  She was eliminated by The Bella Twins.  At the PPV itself, Aksana was one of the lumberjills in the WWE Divas Championship match between Beth Phoenix and Eve Torres.  On January 27th, 2012, Aksana defeated Natalya Neidhart in a singles match and was subsequently attacked by Natalya (Tamina Snuka saved her).  Aksana participated in a tag team match the following week with Tamina Snuka, going up against The Divas of Doom (Natalya and Beth).  On February 16th, Aksana defeated Maxine in a pinfall.  The week after that, she teamed with Kelly Kelly in a tag team match against The Bella Twins and lost.  On March 19th on Raw, Aksana showed up at ringside to support R-Truth and Kofi Kingston in their match against Dolph Ziggler and Jack Swagger.  She would have a confrontation with Vickie Guerrero and the two would brawl inside the ring,  having to be separated by Truth, Kingston, Ziggler and Swagger.  In April, Aksana started managing Antonio Cesaro and forming a storyline relationship with him, kissing him passionately in front of Theodore Long, effectively ending their relationship and turning her heel.
