Cathy Kelley Sends WWE Universe Into Frenzy With Pink Swimsuit Photo
WWE backstage host Cathy Kelly has proven over the years that she's capable of leaving her fans speechless.
The WWE signed Kelly to a deal in 2016 to be a correspondent for NXT. After she left the company in 2020, she returned two years later and thrived as a backstage interviewer.
"As an enthusiastic fan of the squared circle, Cathy gained notice among the WWE Universe as a host of AfterBuzz's weekly recap programs for Monday Night Raw and WWE NXT. The Illinois native later debuted with WWE as WWE.com's digital correspondent during WrestleMania 32 Week in Dallas," her bio for the WWE states. "Since then, Cathy has jumped feet-first into the whirlwind world of WWE breaking news, swirling rumors and true-or-false gossip, putting her Loyola University Chicago journalism degree to good use. She was also a staple of WWE Hall of Fame's red carpet coverage in 2016 and 2017, interviewing Superstars and Legends alike."
Kelly had the chance to spend time in Italy earlier this month on a "work trip." She posted a few swimsuit photos on social media that had the WWE universe buzzing.
"Italy looks so good on you," one fan said.
"I have to mute you Cathy, these thirst traps are too spicy," a second fan replied.
"You def should be a Bond Girl since you have a Licence To Slay," an Instagram user wrote.
"Girl, them abs are insane," another fan commented.
During a recent interview with Chris Van Vliet, the beloved WWE host revealed that she was recently diagnosed with autism.
"I was recently diagnosed with autism and I recognize that it changes a lot of the social dynamics that I have," Kelly said. "So when I say introverted, I feel like it's a little bit more than a typical person would be."
The WWE universe sent plenty of support Kelly's way after she came forward with this news.
