How did Kacy Catanzaro’s WWE career go?

Kacy Catanzaro signed with the promotion in 2017, with the announcement coming during the Mae Young Classic Tournament. She wrestled under her real name for a few years and even entered the 2019 Women’s Royal Rumble Match as a surprise, where she lasted over 10 minutes before being eliminated by Rhea Ripley.

Catanzaro retired from wrestling due to a back injury later that year, but returned a few months later. She eventually began teaming with Kayden Carter as WWE changed her name to Katana Chance. The two won the NXT Women’s Tag Team Championship in 2022 before going on to bigger and better things.

Chance and Carter became Women’s Tag Team Champions on the main roster by defeating Chelsea Green and Piper Niven at the end of 2023. However, after losing the title, the duo didn’t reach those heights again. Kacy Catanzaro and Kayden Carter were ultimately released by WWE on May 2nd.

They are believed to be on a 90-day non-compete clause, which would still be ongoing as of today. It remains to be seen what’s next for Kacy Catanzaro in a professional capacity, following such a joyous moment in her personal life.
