Kara Elizabeth Drew (born July 15, 1975), better known by her ring name Cherry, is an American professional wrestler and valet. She gained mainstream recognition through her work with World Wrestling Entertainment, where she performed on the SmackDown brand. In WWE she was most visible as the manager of the tag team Deuce 'n Domino and also competed in occasional in-ring matches. Drew's contract with WWE ended when she was released on August 15, 2008.

Role and characteristics

As a valet and occasional competitor, Cherry combined a ringside presence with periodic in-ring activity. Valets typically accompany wrestlers to the ring, take part in storylines, and may interfere on behalf of the team they manage; when valets wrestle, they often perform short matches that support larger television narratives. Cherry's television role emphasized personality, costume and choreography, contributing to the team identity of Deuce 'n Domino and to the entertainment-focused elements of weekly broadcast programming.

Career summary

  • Early work: Drew trained and worked on the independent circuit and in developmental settings before appearing on national television, gaining experience in both managerial and wrestling roles.
  • WWE tenure: On the main roster she was featured primarily as a manager/valet and as an occasional singles competitor; her most prominent association was with the team Deuce 'n Domino on SmackDown.
  • Departure: WWE released her from contract on August 15, 2008, after which she stepped away from full-time professional wrestling.

Many performers who serve as valets move between on-screen and behind-the-scenes roles; Cherry's combination of managerial work and periodic matches is a common path for entertainers who bridge character work and athletic performance. Her television appearances helped raise the profile of the tag team she managed and added to weekly storyline variety during her run.

After leaving WWE, Drew worked outside the mainstream wrestling industry. Reports indicate she took employment at SeaWorld and pursued activities away from national wrestling television, a relatively common post-career direction for wrestlers who transition to new fields.
