Finochio has done stunt work for such movies as Daredevil (2003), Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind (2004), Swimfan (2002), and School of Rock (2003).

Finochio worked with Total Nonstop Action Wrestling, as well as many other promotions on the independent circuit. Finochio was first paired with Kid Kash, after the two feuded, as a valet and occasionally tag team partner. She was used as an equilizer for the likes of Desire, Alexis Laree, and Traci Brooks. After Kash departed for the WWE, Finochio formed "The New York Connection" (The NYC) with Glenn Gilberti, Vito Lograsso, and Johnny Swinger. Trinity defeated Desire on the June 23rd Pay-Per-View in a stretcher match with assistance from Logarsso. At the '04 Victory Road, Finochio downed Jacqueline Moore, previously of WWE fame, in an open challenge. After the group disbanded, Finochio entered into an angle with Brooks and TNA's Director of Authority Dusty Rhodes, over the position of Rhodes' personal assistant. Brooks eventually won the job after her team of The Disciples of Destruction defeated Trinity's Phi Delta Slam at the '05 Destination X. Trinity then became the manager of Michael Shane, and again feuded with Brooks, as she had become the manager of Chris Sabin. The two ladies were the only on-screen female talent at the time. At the '05 Lockdown pay-per-view, Finochio executed a Moonsault from the top of a cage onto several compeititors during an Xscape match. At Hard Justice, Trinity and Shane defeated Brooks and Sabin after Brooks turned on Sabin and Shane turned on Trinity. Finochio then left the promotion. Rumors then began to circulate that Finochio was coming to the WWE.

Finochio was receiving try-out matches with World Wrestling Entertainment in Ohio Valley Wrestling. She debuted November 9, 2005 at an OVW show in Louisville, Kentucky. In December 2005, she appeared at Ring Of Glory's Great Commission in Rome, Georgia along with newcomer Rain (who wrestles in Northern IMPACT Wrestling and the SHIMMER women's promotion). She appeared in the WWE with fellow female wrestler Talia at the Heat tapings on January 2, 2006. On January 12, 2006, Stephanie signed a developmental contract with WWE. At the March 18, 2006 OVW TV tapings, Trinity served as a special referee for the Beth Phoenix vs Shelly Martinez match. After the match between Beth and Shelly, Trinity started arguing with Beth. At the April 1, 2006 OVW TV Tapings, Trinity defeated Sosay via submission, and after the match Beth came down and attacked her. Trinity lost a match to Beth Phoenix and was written out of OVW storylines for some time. During that time, it was reported that she would be moving to the main roster and go to Smackdown! and manage Orlando Jordan. That idea was scratched and Jordan was released.

Trinity would later go on to join the revived ECW brand on June 13, 2006 where she debuted as the manager for the Full Blooded Italians (this would earn her the nickname "Full-Bodied Italian").

Trinity suffered a minor knee injury during an ECW house show. She participated in a Bikini Contest with contestants Kelly Kelly and ECW veteran Francine. After a three-way catfight broke out, Trinity executed a moonsault to the outside of the ring and missed the two competitors. Days later, she underwent surgery to repair her knee and was told she will be out of action for 6 to 8 weeks.^[3][1] She returned to ECW television on the September 19, 2006 edition of ECW on Sci Fi when she appeared backstage greeting Queen Sharmell. On October 31, 2006 edition of ECW on Sci Fi, Trinity won the first ever ECW Diva Halloween Costume Contest beating Kelly Kelly and Ariel. Trinity's costume was simply a piece of caution tape covering her breasts.

Throughout November and December, she would appear on ECW TV to manage the F.B.I. in tag team matches. In January 2007, F.B.I. member Tony Mamaluke was released from WWE along with several others.

Trinity was released from her WWE contract on June 22, 2007.^[4]
