Biography
Catherine Anne Kelley (born September 27, 1988) is an American journalist, television host, model, and actress, best known for her work with WWE. A graduate of Loyola University Chicago with a BA in multimedia journalism, Kelley began her on‑air career hosting local TV programs before joining Maria Menounos’ AfterBuzz TV in 2012 as a panelist and podcast host. She signed with WWE in February 2016, making her debut as a pre‑show interviewer for NXT TakeOver: Dallas on April 1, 2016. During her first WWE run (2016–2020), she hosted digital series such as WWE Now and contributed to Sirius XM’s Sam Roberts Show. In February 2020, she announced her departure from WWE to pursue acting—landing a guest role on Netflix’s #blackAF—before returning to WWE in October 2022 as a backstage interviewer on the Raw brand. In June 2023 she moved to SmackDown, then returned to Raw in February 2024. Kelly is also a member of Mensa International and has modeled for various lifestyle publications.
