PALM SPRINGS, CALIFORNIA: Charity Lawson, a beloved contestant from Zack Shallcross' season of 'The Bachelor', is embarking on her quest for love as the star of the upcoming Season 20 of 'The Bachelorette'. The child and family therapist is all set to find her dream man in this highly anticipated season among 25 handpicked men.

Viewers eagerly await to meet Caleb Balgaard, one of the potential suitors vying for Lawson's heart. Right now, it seems that the WWE NXT wrestler will play a significant role in 'The Bachelorette's Season 20. So, let's learn a bit more about this young wrestling sensation who is ready to start a family if he finds the right match. 

Who is Caleb Balgaard?

Caleb Balgaard, who is just 24 years old, hails from Orlando, Florida, where the renowned WWE Performance Center is situated. Prior to his venture into professional wrestling, Balgaard had a background in college baseball. He played as an outfielder for South Alabama, recording a batting average of .212, along with six home runs and 18 RBI in 36 games during the 2021 season. However, his athletic journey took an exciting turn when he caught the attention of WWE and signed with the company last year in 2022, transitioning into the world of wrestling.

Caleb Balgaard's career in WWE

Balgaard aka Kale Dixon, made his way to WWE NXT, where he has been signed as a wrestler. He signed his contract with WWE in 2022, as reported by Dave Meltzer of the Wrestling Observer Newsletter to Felix Upton of Ringside News. Since then, he has participated in various NXT live events and has been featured on the weekly show 'NXT Level Up', which can be viewed on Peacock. While Balgaard is yet to appear on regular NXT television, Meltzer's report suggests that his highly anticipated debut is right around the corner. After facing a series of 15 consecutive losses, Balgaard finally achieved his first victory against Quincy Elliott on the latest episode of 'Level Up'.



 

What is Caleb Balgaard looking for in his partner? 

Despite portraying a villainous character in the wrestling ring, Balgaard reveals a contrasting soft side in his personal life. Behind the tough exterior, this professional wrestler is a hopeless romantic who wears his emotions openly. His strong bond with his family is evident, and he aspires to create a family of his own in the near future. He describes himself to be the kind of person who goes the extra mile to make his partner feel cherished, as evidenced by his heartfelt gesture of hand-carving a seashell heart necklace for someone special. Whether Balgaard will achieve the fairy-tale ending he desires alongside Charity remains uncertain, as only time will reveal the outcome.
