Professional wrestling career
WWE (2013–2015)

She debuted as a backstage interviewer on the November 20 episode of NXT.[6] Taylor's recurring interactions with Dana Brooke often ended with Brooke patting her on the head in a condescending fashion, something that Brooke would later use as a taunt while wrestling.[7] Taylor was also an in-ring competitor at NXT live events, participating mainly in Divas tag team matches.[8]
On October 9, 2015, WWE officially announced that Fetkin was released from her contract, due to injury concerns hampering her training progress.[9] Her release was featured on an episode of WWE Breaking Ground.[10] Following her release, Fetkin had a short stint on the independent circuit, appearing as a backstage interviewer for Pacific Coast Wrestling (PCW).[11]
