Celeste Beryl Bonin[3] (born October 7, 1986)[1] is an American model and professional wrestler, better known by her ring name Kaitlyn. She is working for WWE, where she is assigned to the SmackDown brand and also competes in their developmental territory, Florida Championship Wrestling.[2][4] She won the third season of NXT.[2][5]
Early life and career
Bonin made her body fitness debut in 2006, at the age of 19. In 2007, Bonin won the National Physique Committee (NPC) John Sherman Classic Bodybuilding Figure and Fitness Championship,[1] and came fifth at the Arnold Classic in the NPC Figure Class D competition.[6] She also was in the top five at Musclemania Superbody in 2007, in the Figure Universe – Tall category.[7] In 2008, she was named Miss November at the Hardfitness Calendar,[1] and placed 16th at the NPC Junior Nationals that same year in the NPC Figure category.[8] In 2008 she was part of the Hardfitness Calendar and in 2009, Bonin appeared in Flex Magazine.[9]
World Wrestling Entertainment / WWE
Florida Championship Wrestling (2010–2012)
In July 2010, World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE) signed Bonin to a developmental contract, and she reported to Florida Championship Wrestling, WWE's developmental territory.[1] She debuted under the ring name Celeste, competing in a bikini contest. Her name was soon changed to Ricki Vaughn, and quickly changed again to Kaitlyn, her name on NXT. On the August 22, 2010 episode of FCW television, she would make her FCW TV debut as a lumberjill at ringside for a match between AJ Lee and Naomi Knight. On the January 16 episode of FCW television, Kaitlyn defeated Rosa Mendes in singles competition.[10] Although Kaitlyn is no longer on the FCW roster, she still makes wrestling appearences feuding against the Anti-diva Army (Sofia Cortez, Paige, and Raquel Diaz) along with Aubrey Marie and Caylee Turner in various tag team matches.[11][12]
NXT (2010)
![](http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/6/65/Celeste_Bonin.jpg/220px-Celeste_Bonin.jpg)
On September 7, it was announced that Bonin would join season 3 of NXT, under the name Kaitlyn, with Vickie Guerrero as her storyline pro. She was the replacement for Guerrero's original rookie, Aloisia, whom Guerrero fired in storyline. That week, she unsuccessfully competed in both a dance competition and a 'capture the flag' contest.[13] The following week, Kaitlyn made her in-ring debut, when she teamed up with Guerrero's on-screen boyfriend Dolph Ziggler to defeat A.J. and Primo in a mixed tag team match. She also won the obstacle course challenge.[14] On the September 21 episode of NXT, Kaitlyn and LayCool (Layla and Michelle McCool) lost to Kelly Kelly, Naomi, and Jamie in a six-Diva tag team match. Following the match, in which Kaitlyn was pinned, Lay-Cool attacked her while Guerrero berated her.[15] On that week's episode of SmackDown on September 24, Kaitlyn and Guerrero accompanied Ziggler to the ring for his match. When Guerrero ordered Kaitlyn to leave ringside, Kaitlyn pushed her over before leaving.[16] Kaitlyn won her first singles match against Guerrero on October 5, on NXT. On the November 2 episode of NXT, Kaitlyn and Ziggler were found kissing behind a wall. When Guerrero confronted them, Kaitlyn threw a cake, which was meant for Goldust and Aksana's wedding, into her face.[17] On the November 5 episode of SmackDown, Kaitlyn and Guerrero faced each other in a rematch in which Guerrero was victorious.[18] On the November 30 episode of NXT, Kaitlyn was announced as the winner of season three, defeating Naomi in the final.[5]
SmackDown and NXT Redemption (2010–present)
On the December 3 episode of SmackDown, Kaitlyn appeared in a backstage segment with Guerrero and Ziggler, announcing that SmackDown General Manager Theodore Long had signed her to the brand following her victory on NXT.[2][19] She had her first match on SmackDown on the January 28, 2011, episode, when she and Kelly Kelly were defeated by LayCool.[20] Kaitlyn later lost in singles competition against Layla on March 11.[21]
On the May 27 episode of SmackDown Kaitlyn formed a tag team known as The Chickbusters with AJ. In their first match as a team lost to the team of Alicia Fox and Tamina. The duo were accompanied by Natalya, who became a mentor of sorts to the pair.[22] AJ and Kaitlyn lost a rematch to Fox and Tamina the following week.[23] Her first victory came on the June 10 episode of SmackDown, when she pinned Tamina in a singles match, a feat she repeated on the July 8 episode.[24][25] AJ, Kaitlyn, and Natalya continued to feud with Fox and Tamina, who were joined by Rosa Mendes.[26][27]
On the August 5 episode of SmackDown AJ lost a singles match to Natalya, who then turned on her protégé, attacking her and declaring war on the "perky little princesses" that comprised the rest of the Divas division.[28] The following week, Kaitlyn and AJ lost to Natalya and Beth Phoenix in a tag team match.[29] Throughout the next few months, The Chickbusters continued to feud with the so-called Divas of Doom, losing both singles and tag team matches to them.[30][31] Kaitlyn then returned to the October 19 episode of NXT Redemption being accompanied by fellow Chickbuster AJ to defeat Maxine via submission.[32] Kaitlyn then had a short feud with Tamina after defeating her two weeks in a row on the October 26 and November 2 episodes of NXT Redemption.[33][34] In November, tension began to be teased between The Chickbusters, with Kaitlyn upset at their repeated losses to The Divas of Doom.[35]
On the February 8 episode of NXT Redemption, Kaitlyn lost in singles competition to Maxine, whom she has been feuding with since befriending Derrick Bateman.[36] After weeks of feuding with Maxine over whether the latter was good for Derrick Bateman, on the February 29 episode of NXT Redemption, Kaitlyn would kiss Bateman in an "intervention" segment also including Alicia Fox and Justin Gabriel before defeating Maxine in a match.[37] On the March 14 episode of NXT Redemption, after Kaitlyn and Derrick Bateman defeated Johnny Curtis and Maxine, Bateman would kiss Kaitlyn thus solidifying their relationship.[38] On the March 21 episode of NXT Redemption, Kaitlyn and Derrick Bateman were backstage with Tamina talking about her and Bateman's new found relationship, and later encountered Maxine and Johnny Curtis, who accused them of being involved with Matt Striker's disappearence.[39] Kaitlyn accompanied Derrick Bateman in a loss to Hunico on the March 28 episode of NXT Redemption.[40] On the April 4 episode of NXT Redemption, Kaitlyn was defeated in singles competition to her former mentor Natalya, who was accompanied by Tyson Kidd on commentary.[41]
