Kaitlyn was the winner of the all-female season winner of WWE NXT’s original format, all the way back in 2012. With the runner-up, AJ Lee, she was supposed to be a name who could be a long-standing figure in the WWE but that wasn’t supposed to be. Personal reasons and outside business ventures were the reason why she left the company, earlier than expected.
Kaitlyn started regular gym sessions at an age of just 14 with the goal of remaining a strong athlete. She went ahead to participate in national competitions like John Sherman Classic Bodybuilding Figure and Fitness Championship and Arnold Classic NPC Figure Class D Competition before winding up in the WWE where she arrived with an unconventional shape.

As admitted previously, Kaitlyn always received advice from the WWE Officials to become skinnier rather than staying in her original shape. That was the reason why she grew some hatred towards her own body. But at the age of 34, she was quite happy in her own physical and mental shape. With the “Project This Is Me” campaign promoted by her on social media, she often offers advice to her fans on how to love oneself.
Kaitlyn found self-interest after meeting her life partner
In a recent Instagram post, Kaitlyn revealed that she realized the importance of self-love, almost 1.5 years ago after meeting her present life partner,
“The big catalyst for me was meeting the love of my life. First, I had to believe that I was good enough to have a Relationship with someone who was willing to help me and hold a space for me to heal everything from my past, to learn to communicate, to know that I am worthy of an amazing love and an amazing life.”

It should be noted that Kaitlyn left the WWE in 2014 as she wanted to start business ventures around fitness and clothing lines with her then-partner PJ Braun. The two eventually became married but then they had a split in 2017.
This was a timespan when she was in a devastating phase in her life. Kaitlyn then started training to get back to wrestling. Back in 2018, she returned to the WWE to participate in the second season of the Mae Young Classic. Mia Yim eliminated her in the second round. On October 27, 2019, she also defeated Black Widow and Katie Forbes to become the inaugural Slamforce Africa Women’s Champion which was her final wrestling match.
