    Backstage Update On Cathy Kelley Taking Bump On Raw

    Cathy Kelley seems unlikely to have a match.

    The WWE broadcaster surprised everyone by taking a bump on this Monday’s Raw. She went down when Liv Morgan attacked her WrestleMania opponent, Stephanie Vaquer, during an interview segment.

    With previous reports revealing that the female star had done some training at the performance center, many wondered if this would lead to an in-ring future for her.

    Will Cathy Kelley Make In-Ring Debut Soon?

    Fightful Select provided an update on the matter in a new Q&A. They revealed that Cathy Kelley herself took the initiative to train at the PC instead of the officials directing her to do so.

    The context was exploring the possibility of her getting an expanded on-screen role as opposed to becoming a wrestler for the company. The report also noted that they have not heard of any plans for Kelley to actually wrestle for the promotion.

    In addition to the PC training, there have been meetings about Cathy’s future outside of WWE, exploring the potential of her seeking additional film and TV opportunities.

    The former model made her acting debut last year so it seems likely that she can pick up more projects down the line while continuing to work with WWE.

    Cathy Kelley took a bump.

    It was Liv Morgan’s turn to sneak attack Stephanie Vaquer this week, after the Women’s Champion gave Morgan a nasty injury in a similar attack on last week’s episode of Raw.

    Roxanne Perez had gotten caught up in the crossfire last week. This week’s attack was also not without unwarranted casualties, unfortunately. This time, it was Cathy Kelley who suffered because of it.

    The WWE broadcaster who was interviewing Vaquer at the time had to be helped to the back after taking the bump. Though Michael Cole thankfully informed us later in the night that Kelly was ok after this segment.

    This was the second bit of bad news for Rhea Ripley coming out of the night after IYO SKY suffered a singles defeat at the hands of Kairi Sane on the show.

    It appears Rhiyo may need to add a new member to their rank to keep track of all the challenges coming at them. If so then we know just the gal who will be interested in the job offer…

  • Trish Stratus Joins Cathy Kelley for Karate Ghost Comedy Movie

    Trish Stratus has joined the cast of a new movie in the works, a role that could see her share the screen alongside WWE correspondent Cathy Kelley. Stratus will be a part of the upcoming action-comedy Karate Ghost which is currently in production in Stratus\’ native Canada. A press release reads:

    \”Trish Stratus stars as Susan Fanshawe, an overenthusiastic pageant-queen-turned-karate-mom whose obsession with martial arts puts her daughter’s dreams in a chokehold. Think a pom-pom-wielding Miss America, with a black belt.\”

    Karate Ghost is set to have a festival premiere and theatrical release slated for early 2026. The film will also feature David Koechner (Anchorman, The Office), and Steve Howey (Shameless, True Lies), and Jim Belushi among a stacked cast of actors.

    For Stratus, this is her latest role outside the ring, as she has been in multiple films and served for three seasons as a judge on Canada\’s Got Talent. It remains to be seen if she gets to share her karate skills against Kelley in the upcoming film.

  • WWE\’s Cathy Kelley Announces First Movie Role

    Cathy Kelley is stepping into a new spotlight outside of WWE as the interviewer/backstage personality has landed her first movie role. On May 16, 2025, Kelley took to X to announce her exciting news, complete with a photo of herself smiling in front of a trailer marked with her character’s name.

    Kelley didn’t reveal any additional details about the project, the announcement has fueled speculation among fans about what type of role she might be taking on. Interestingly, this news comes amid ongoing rumors that Kelley may soon make her in-ring debut in WWE. Reports have indicated that she has been training at the WWE Performance Center and attending promo classes.

    Kelley has been a consistent backstage figure on RAW and SmackDown since returning to WWE in 2022 after a two-year hiatus. With her first film role now underway, Cathy Kelley is clearly expanding her horizons—proving her talents extend beyond Sports Entertainment.

  • Cathy Kelley Training For Potential New WWE Role (Report)

    Cathy Kelley might be getting ready for a new role in WWE.

    The beloved ring announcer first joined WWE in 2016. She left the company in 2020 but was brought back in 2023, and Kelley has been a part of the main roster broadcasting team ever since.

    While Cathy does her job perfectly, she also seems to have reached the ceiling of where she could go as a ring announcer and perhaps this is why the female star is looking for a change.

    According to PWInsider, Cathy Kelley has been training at the WWE Performance Center recently. She has been taking part in the promo classes and even learning a little in ring work. The purpose for this is not clear at the moment, but it\’s possible that the company will use her as a manager in the future.

    Though being a manager would likely mean turning heel for the announcer, which does not match with her current personality. Another possibility will be for her to get involved in storylines while continuing her current role.

    Kelley is often seen joking around about her relationship with Rhea Ripley on social media. Using her as inspiration for The Mami in a feud would make a lot of sense.

    WWE allowing Cathy to explore the possibility is an interesting development as former WWE ring announcer Samantha Irvin had said that not getting the chance to explore the same option was one of the reasons behind her departure from the company last year.

  • WWE\’s Cathy Kelly Among Thousands Displaced by LA Wildfires

    WWE star Cathy Kelly has revealed that she\’s one of the thousands who have been affected by the Los Angeles wildfire disaster.

    The broadcast star revealed the news while replying to a X post showing the destruction caused by the wildfire. Kelly revealed that she\’s one of the people who have had to evacuate their homes due to it:

    \”Friends have lost homes, countless more displaced—witnessing the LA fires and devastation they’re continuing to leave behind is beyond heartbreaking. Just evacuated my own home. I can’t even begin to comprehend or put into words this feeling\”

    A series of wildfires devasted the Los Angeles area on Tuesday fuelled by powerful winds and unusually dry conditions. As of Thursday, at least seven people had been killed by the fires while more than a thousand structures have been destroyed.

    More than 180,000 people have been under evacuation orders while more than 100,000 people have had to evacuate their homes. So far, the fires have reportedly burned an area equal to 17,200 acres or almost 27 square miles.

    The real scope of damages can not be realized fully until the fires have been contained completely. You can check out a Washinton post guide on how to help victims and how to find help if you\’ve been affected here.

  • WWE\’s Cathy Kelley Shares Ambitions to Become a Manager

    Cathy Kelley, a familiar face on WWE’s Monday Night Raw broadcast team, has shared her ambition to expand her role within the company. Known for her backstage interviews and on-air presence, Kelley recently revealed her interest in transitioning to a managerial role in the future.

    Speaking with B4theBell, Kelley explained her commitment to professional wrestling, noting that the idea of managing is something she has given serious thought.

    I would definitely be open to managing if it is the right pairing,” she said. “That is something that I would love to grow into, whether that’s, you know, tomorrow, whether that’s a decade down the line.

    I do really see myself involved in WWE, in wrestling, in some way throughout my entire career.”

    These remarks align with a growing trend in WWE, where talents like former ring announcer Samantha Irvin have expressed interest in stepping into managerial roles.

    Currently, Kelley serves as a pivotal member of the Raw broadcast team, working alongside Joe Tessitore, Wade Barrett, Jackie Redmond, and Lilian Garcia. Her steady rise on WWE programming has made her a vital figure on screen, and her aspiration to manage talent could add another dimension to her already impressive résumé.

    As Kelley continues to thrive on Raw, fans and industry insiders alike will be watching to see if—and when—she takes this next step in her WWE journey.

  • Cathy Kelley Says Kevin Owens Saved Her Life During Traumatizing Accident

    Cathy Kelley and Kevin Owens experienced a dune buggy accident ahead of WWE’s Crown Jewel event from Saudi Arabia. As part of the pre-show festivities, WWE talent and staff participated in various activities, including dune buggy rides. During the Crown Jewel pre-show broadcast, it was revealed that Kelley and Owens had been involved in the accident.

    Owens was originally scheduled to compete in a match against Randy Orton. However, the match took a dramatic turn as the two brawled outside the ring, leading to Orton being stretchered out of the venue. Speaking on B4TheBell, Cathy Kelley provided more details about the incident and reflected on her long-standing friendship with Owens. She shared:

    \”He\’s been one of my friends for years. I\’ve had many conversations with him off camera. We just got into a kind of traumatizing accident when we were in Saudi Arabia in a dune buggy. I kind of credit him for saving my life in that moment.

    We rolled three and a half times in a dune buggy. He said his initial instinct was to protect me. I was holding onto a safety rail, he was right behind me. We could have gotten much more banged up than we did. We were really lucky that we walked out of it relatively unscathed.”

    Kelley added that she came away with just a minor scratch on her hand, while Owens’ quick instincts potentially prevented more serious injuries.

    Despite the harrowing experience, Owens is set to appear in a face-to-face segment with the Undisputed WWE Champion Cody Rhodes on this Friday’s episode of SmackDown.
