Professional wrestling career

World Wrestling Entertainment / WWE

Tough Enough (2011)

In March 2011, Andrew was announced as one of the fourteen contestants for the revival of WWE Tough Enough as Ariane was the 1st contestant to be eliminated from the show because of her lack of passion for the wrestling industry.[5]

Florida Championship Wrestling (2011–2012)

Immediately after being eliminated on the revival season of Tough Enough, Andrew confirmed on her official Twitter account that WWE had signed her to a developmental contract as she would then make her debut in July 7, 2011 as a ring announcer at a FCW house show.[6] It was not until July 9 that she made her in-ring debut, under the new ring name Cameron Lynn, in a divas battle royal, which consisted of Audrey Marie, Caylee Turner, Kaitlyn, Maxine, Raquel Diaz, Sonia and Aksana, in which she was eliminated first.[7]

On October 9 episode of FCW Televison, Lynn and Byron Saxton accompanied Naomi to ringside during her match against the debuting Leah West. At the October 23 FCW Televison, Cameron Lynn teamed up with Naomi Knight to defeat the team of Caylee Turner and Kaitlyn when Naomi pinned Turner after a leg lariat.[8] On November 11 episode of FCW Televison, Lynn competed in a six-Divas tag team match teaming with Audrey Marie and Ivelisse Velez to defeat the team of Raquel Diaz, Caylee Turner and Leah West when Lynn pinned West.

On the November 13, 2011 edition of FCW Televison, Lynn teamed up with FCW Diva’s Champion Audrey Marie in a losing effort to the team of Caylee Turner and the Queen of FCW Aksana after Aksana got the pin after a Spinebuster.[9] On December 25, 2011 episode of FCW Televison, Lynn teamed with Kaitlyn in a losing effort to the team of Ivelisse Velez and Caylee Turner, Turner got the pin over Lynn after an X Factor. On the January 8, 2012 episode of FCW Televison, Lynn was defeated by the Queen of FCW Aksana, after a Divo Drop.[10]

Raw and SmackDown (2012-present)

Andrew, using the name Cameron, and Naomi as Brodus Clay's dancers, with Hornswoggle also dancing.

On the January 9, 2012 episode of Raw, Lynn made her debut along with Naomi as one of the dancers and valets for the re-debuting Brodus Clay. The following night on Raw, Clay started a feud with Dolph Ziggler and Jack Swagger when he saved Santino Marella from them.[11] Clay and Marella beat Ziggler and Swagger on the April 9 episode of Raw.[12] On the April 20 episode of SmackDown, Clay began to be associated with Hornswoggle, with Clay introducing him as his little brother.[13] On the April 23 episode of Raw, Clay and Hornswoggle defeated Ziggler and Swagger via disqualification after Vickie Guerrero interfered. At Extreme Rules, Clay defeated Ziggler.[14] At Over the Limit, Clay defeated The Miz in a singles match.[15] At this point, Clay was on a 21-match winning streak since adopting the Funkasaurus gimmick.[16]

On the May 28 episode of Raw, Big Show justified his recent villainous turn by blaming Clay for dancing in the ring instead of sympathizing with Show shortly after Show was forced to beg for his job and was yet fired; hearing this, Clay then challenged Show to a match that night. Before the match could start, Show attacked Clay at ringside and brutally assaulted him.[17] On the June 8 episode of SmackDown, Clay was banned from appearing on Raw "to protect him from Big Show" so he was transferred to SmackDown. Big Show's attack also led Clay to vow to be more aggressive in the ring.[18] On the June 15 episode of SmackDown, Clay's No Way Out opponent, David Otunga, would attack Clay from behind, targeting Clay's leg.[19] Yet, at No Way Out, Clay defeated Otunga in the pre-show match when Otunga voluntarily let himself be counted out. Later during the pay-per-view, Clay interfered in the main event steel cage match, costing Big Show the match to John Cena.[20] Big Show then made an appearance on the June 22 episode of SmackDown, leading to Clay physically confronting him, but Clay once again fell victim to an Otunga sneak attack and then a beatdown from Big Show.[21]
