Kaitlyn is an American wrestler, bodybuilder, body fitness model, and entrepreneur, best known for her career as a professional wrestler under the ring name Kaitlyn in the WWE (World Wrestling Entertainment) starting in September 2010. She signed a developmental contract in July 2010 and won the 3rd season of the all-female WWE NXT TV program, which automatically made her eligible to compete on the main show. Celeste scored her 1st major win in January 2013, after winning WWE Divas Championship, but only held the title for 5 months before she retired in January 2014. Luckily, her fans had the chance to see her wrestling 4 years later after she came out of retirement in February 2018 and made an in-ring return in the independent circuit in the Coastal Championship Wrestling division.

In 2018, Celeste also came back to the company that she became prominent in, WWE, and won the very 1st match on August 8, 2018, but was eliminated in the 2nd round. Before she was a wrestler, Celeste was a successful bodybuilder who made her debut at the age of 19 in 2006 in the body fitness category. The very next year, she won the NPC John Sherman Classic Bodybuilding Figure and Fitness Championship and came in 5th place at the Arnold Classic in the NPC Figure Class D bodybuilding competition. The same year, she also reached Top 5 at the Musclemania Superbody contest in the “Figure Universe – Tall” category. Celeste also founded the fitness clothing company Celestial Bodiez in 2014, which was partially why she quit wrestling, and also became a smoothie bar owner starting in June 2015, named Busy Body Fitness Center, located in Boca Raton, Florida, United States.

First Wrestling Match

First TV Show

Other than the broadcast of her wrestling matches, Kaitlyn made her first TV show appearance as ‘Herself’ on the reality series, Total Divas in 2013.

Personal Trainer

Celeste was a meat-eater throughout her wrestling and bodybuilding career but became a vegan around April 2018. 7 months later, in November of the same year, she decided to take the vegan nutrition more seriously. She, alongside her best friend, entrepreneur, and fitness coach, Laurin Conlin, journaled a full week of eating and analyzed her diet plan. It turned out her macros and calories needed an adjustment and closer counting, but that she was definitely ahead of the curve.

Celeste also wanted to be committed both for her sake, and for the sake of others that don’t know where to start with veganism and were already fans of her clothing brand, as she wanted to go a step further, and expand her brand into Celestial Bodiez Collective. In August 2018, Celeste had also attended her 1st boxing class with Mike Rashid at the Trinity Boxing LA gym in Los Angeles, California, United States. When it comes to professional wrestling, in WWE, she is officially trained by Pablo Marquez, an Ecuadorian wrestler, at the WWE Performance Center in Orlando, Florida, United States. She also rides a bike as a form of cardio.
