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.
