The Beautiful People was a
Concept
The Beautiful People were vain and narcissistic prima donnas.[4] After a brief initial period without these traits, they became villainous characters who emphasized an interest in looks and created the motto "cleansing the world, one ugly person at a time."[5] The team was created by then-TNA booker Vince Russo,[6] with Love and Sky drawing inspiration for their performance from celebrities like Paris Hilton and Nicole Richie and the movie Mean Girls.[1]
Their fixation with physical beauty is emphasized when they use cosmetics and hair spray as weapons. They also favored placing paper bags over the heads of opponents they regarded as ugly, as a way of humiliating them.[7]
History
Velvet-Love Entertainment (2007–2008)
The Beautiful People
Makeovers (2008–2009)
Adopting the personas of superficial
The Beautiful People continued to harass the fan favorite Knockouts, including ruining Kim's chance at winning the
On July 18, Sky won a ten-Knockout Battle Royal to earn a shot at the Knockouts Championship.
On the August 14 episode of Impact!,
Also in December it was announced on TNA's website that the company had extended an invitation to United States Vice-Presidential candidate Sarah Palin which The Beautiful People looked forward to as they considered her husband to be attractive.[29] A Governor Palin parody character, often referred to simply as The Governor, appeared on December 4 played by Shannon Spruill.[27] Love and Sky were oblivious to The Governor being an imposter, resulting in some comedy skits where Kip tried to convince them they were being fooled while others mocked their stupidity. The Governor, meanwhile, convinced the duo that they would have a makeover that would make them worthy of her cabinet; the makeover involved frumpy clothes, no make-up and unstyled hair. On January 15, Taylor Wilde and Roxxi revealed that it had all been a ruse to humiliate The Beautiful People who, in Wilde's opinion, were making a mockery of TNA's women's division. After this they had mud dropped on them from the ceiling.[30] The following week, The Beautiful People brutally attacked Spruill backstage until Kip stopped them after a sufficient beating.[31] On February 5, The Beautiful People exacted revenge on Roxxi and Wilde in a tag match and put paper bags over their heads; however, their revenge was cut short when The Governor made the save.[32]
Mi Pi Sexy (Mi∇⦵) (2009)
Wilde's rivalry with The Beautiful People continued when she teamed with the recently debuted Knockout
The Beautiful People began hazing of Madison Rayne on March 19's Impact, which began with her helping them clip The Governor's hair after Rayne lost her match.[38] Mi Pi Sexy would fight against Wilde, Roxxi, and The Governor at Destination X. Despite the numbers being even with the acquisition of Rayne, The Beautiful People failed to defeat their opponents.[39] Monty Sopp, who played Cute Kip, was removed from television prior to Destination X to become a road agent, meaning his departure from the stable. This was explained on-screen by Sky, who stated that Kip was on probation before declaring he would be spoken about no more.[40]
Rayne's hazing continued after The Beautiful People won an Impact! tag team match against Kong and Saeed, after which Rayne tried to cut the braided hair of the Knockout Champion Kong.[41] With Sky in her corner, Angelina Love faced Kong and perennial nemesis Taylor Wilde in a three-way cage match for the Knockout Championship at Lockdown. Love narrowly escaped a somersault leg drop from Kong, and as she was recovering Love pushed her towards the cage while Sky pulled her frayed hair through the holes in the cage and tied her to it. With Kong unable to move from the cage, Wilde dove onto Love with a cross body press and legitimately knocked her unconscious with her knee. As she recovered, Wilde attacked Kong, allowing Love to roll-up Wilde for the pin and win the Knockout Championship.[42] The following week on Impact!, Mi Pi Sexy had a celebration with male dancers and named Madison Rayne an official member of the Beautiful People. However the celebration was cut short by Kong.[43] Kong continued her attack on Mi Pi Sexy and proved her dominance by making her way through Rayne, Sky and Kip, who Love brought back to stop her, in stretcher matches on the following weeks of Impact!.[44][45][46] Despite this, at Sacrifice, Love retained her title against Kong.[47]
On May 28, Love defended her title again against Sojourner Bolt with all of her associates at ringside. After quickly defeating Bolt, Love questioned why Cute Kip was still appearing with them and officially fired him from the group. After this Love made a speech about the dominance of The Beautiful People and mocked the lack of competition in TNA. This led to the debut of
Consequently, when Tara defeated Sky and threatened to place a tarantula on her, Love agreed to put her Knockout Championship on the line immediately afterwards, and without Rayne for support, Love lost the championship.[52] The following week Love demanded, and gained a rematch but was laid out with the Widow's Peak from Tara.[53] At Victory Road, Love almost lost her match when she was accidentally blinded with hairspray, but kicked out and later pinned Tara despite her foot being under the bottom rope, to win back the Knockout Championship. Later in the evening the referee was seen leaving Rayne's shower, with the implication she had seduced him to officiate the match in Love's favour.[54]
After all three failed to win a Battle Royal to become a member of
The Meanest Girls (2009–2010)
On September 3, Love — a Canadian national — was released from her contract with TNA due to problems with her
On the October 1 episode of Impact!, The Beautiful People apologized to the TNA fans and Knockouts for their behavior, blaming their past actions on Love. They invited the Knockouts Tag Team Champions, Wilde and Sarita, down to the ring to prove their apology was genuine and expressed their desire for a competitive match at Bound for Glory. The Beautiful People shook their hands, but then attacked them. As they began to lose the advantage in the assault, Lacey Von Erich debuted and took out Wilde and Sarita. The three then posed in the ring, welcoming Von Erich into The Beautiful People.[64] The three then won their first match as a team, defeating ODB, Tara and Kong,[65] but lost their Tag Team title rematch at Bound For Glory.[66] On the October 22 episode of Impact!, The Beautiful People began appearing in backstage segments they dubbed as their reality show "The Meanest Girls", an allusion to the 2004 teen comedy Mean Girls. In the pilot episode, The Beautiful People attacked Wilde and Sarita at catering, and engaged in a food fight with The Beautiful People coming out on top.[67] In the sequel, which aired on the November 5 edition of Impact!, the Beautiful People attacked ODB, setting up a six knockout tag team match at Turning Point for both the Women's Knockout Championship and the Knockouts Tag Team Championship.[68] At the Pay-Per-View the Beautiful People were unsuccessful, as ODB pinned Rayne to win the match for the reigning champions.[69] Around this time they also began using a new weapon named Lacey's Ugly Stick, a pink baton used to attack opponents.[70]
Going into 2010, the group were met with a familiar face on the January 14 edition of Impact! when Angelina Love made her return, observing Sky and Rayne in a tag team match from the crowd. After the match, Love attacked Sky and Von Erich, telling Sky it was a mistake to replace her.
Implosion (2010)
After returning from an injury in June, former member Angelina Love set her sights on the Beautiful People and regaining the Women's Knockout Championship from Rayne. Three weeks before Victory Road, Love was defeated by Von Erich via disqualification when she dropped Von Erich with a DDT on a steel chair. The following week in a match featuring Love and Sky, Sky suffered the same fate. Following this match, Love stared at Sky and said, "One more", meaning that she just had Rayne left to deal with. On July 11 at Victory Road, Rayne lost the Women's Knockout Championship to Angelina Love via disqualification due to outside interference from a masked villainess in a motorcycle helmet. Prior to the match it was announced that the title would change hands via disqualification, if either Velvet Sky or Lacey Von Erich interfered in the match.[79] On the following edition of Impact!, The Beautiful People imploded as Sky said she didn't approve of Rayne's recent attitude, behavior, and apparent affiliation with the mystery woman at the pay-per-view, to which Rayne responded by saying that she didn't need Sky anymore. Sky then walked out on Rayne as she and the mystery woman ganged up on Love.[80] On the July 22 edition of Impact!, the Women's Knockout Championship was returned to Rayne, when it was declared that there was no proof that the person who had interfered in the match was either Sky or Von Erich.[81][82]
On the July 29 edition of Impact! Rayne apologized to Sky and the three Beautiful People agreed to a truce.[83] However, on the following edition of Impact!, Sky and Von Erich lost the TNA Knockouts Tag Team Championship to Hamada and Taylor Wilde, when Rayne and the mystery woman's interference backfired.[84] Later in the night, Sky and Rayne were seen fighting backstage, during which Sky vented her frustrations to Rayne, proclaiming their truce and friendship over and then shoved Von Erich, who tried to make peace between her teammates, inadvertently knocking her unconscious.[85] The following week Rayne lost the Women's Knockout Championship to Love. During the match the mystery woman tried to distract Love; however, Velvet Sky stopped her. Love countered the Rayne Drop and executed the Lights Out for the victory.[86] On the August 19 episode of Impact!, Sky reunited with Angelina Love, accompanying her to the ring and helping her successfully defend the Women's Knockout Championship against Rayne, who was with the mysterious biker woman. After the match, Sky and Love were beaten down by Rayne and the mystery woman, who later unmasked and revealed herself as Tara. That night, Tara and Rayne defeated the reunited Beautiful People in a tag match when Tara hit Sky with the motorcycle helmet.[87]
Storyline with Winter (2010–2011)
The following week, Love and Sky were featured on Impact! and were announced as The Beautiful People, whilst using the stable's signature entrance music, clarifying that the stable now consists of its original members and for the first time since 2007, is a

After both Love's and Sky's departures from TNA, the two reunited as the Beautiful People on September 22, 2012, at a Northeast Wrestling event, where they were defeated by Madison Rayne and Rosita.[103][104] The Beautiful People made their debut for Family Wrestling Entertainment (FWE) on October 4, 2012, at the Back 2 Brooklyn internet pay-per-view, where they defeated Maria Kanellis and Katrina Lea.[105]
Reunion and various feuds (2014)
Velvet Sky and Madison Rayne reunited as "The Beautiful People" for one night on the January 30, 2014, episode of Impact Wrestling, defeating Gail Kim and Lei'D Tapa in a tag team match.[106] On the February 27 episode of Impact Wrestling, The Beautiful People were reunited again in a tag team match against Tapa and Alpha Female, which they would lose when Tapa pinned Rayne due to interference from Chris Sabin and Kim.[107]
On the March 13 episode of Impact Wrestling, Angelina Love returned to TNA and called out Sky, wanting to reunite the team,[108] and a week later on Impact Wrestling, Sky would accept Love's offer, while Rayne would decline. Love would later attack Rayne backstage, which would lead to a match between the two on the following week.[109] Love defeated Rayne in her return match after Sky turned on Rayne and attacked her, which turned Sky villainous. After the match, Love and Sky would pose and laugh at Rayne, officially reuniting the original heel incarnation.[110] The Beautiful People made their in-ring return the following week on Impact Wrestling as villains, defeating Rayne and Brittany after Love pinned Brittany following the Makeover.[111] On the April 10 episode of Impact Wrestling, Love defeated
In late 2014, The Beautiful People formed an alliance with
Feud with The Dollhouse (2015–2016)
On the May 8 episode of Impact Wrestling, Velvet Sky returned to TNA and attacked Love.[117] On the June 3 episode of Impact Wrestling, Love got Sky arrested by her security staff after she attacked Madison Rayne, while Love was arrested herself by event staff as Sky appeared as a fan, and was arrested for fan assault.[118] This led to a match between the two, which occurred on June 24, in which Velvet Sky won to get her spot back in the company.[119]
On the September 2 episode of Impact Wrestling, Love and Rayne turned
The following week, Sky and Rayne went up against The Dollhouse in a losing battle after Rebel distracted Rayne and threw powder in her face.

On the April 22, 2016, Sky left the company, leaving Rayne as the final active member of the group in TNA.
