SAN ANTONIO, TEXAS: Professional wrestler Katana Chance is presently under contract with the WWE. Together with Kayden Carter, she has won the women's tag team titles in both NXT and WWE.

Originally from 'American Ninja Warrior', Katana, whose real name is Kacy Catanzaro, was an exceptional competitor.

Early in 2017, there were rumors that Katana might join the WWE. When she was seen working out at WWE's Performance Center, these rumors were verified.

The rumors were confirmed in the summer of 2017, when Katana signed a contract with WWE, launching her career as a professional wrestler.

Since not all WWE fans watch NXT, some may not be aware of the effort Katana put into building the black-and-gold brand. Katana was a major player during her tenure, not merely a part of the show before being added to the main roster.

She found that having Kayden by her side was just what she needed to advance. Their victory and the subsequent 186-day hold on the NXT Women's Tag Team Championships demonstrated that.

Since WWE typically only signs wrestlers with some experience, many people with contracts there often start off working somewhere else. It is uncommon to see someone under contract who has never entered a ring anywhere else, even if it is simply on the indie circuit.

But because Katana is an actual product of the WWE Performance Center, she's a unique illustration of it. Since she has only ever worked for WWE, the corporation has provided her with all of her experience.
