Summary
Kacy Catanzaro is an American athlete renowned for her achievements in both obstacle course competitions like American Ninja Warrior and WWE Pro Wrestling! She blew up in 2014 by becoming the first woman to complete the "American Ninja Warrior" qualifying course and scale the Warped Wall, later on advancing to the national finals. Her massive performance inspired a surge of female participation in the sport and changed it forever. Kacy signed with WWE in 2017 and debuted under the ring name Katana Chance. She formed a successful tag team with Kayden Carter, capturing the NXT Women's Tag Team Championships in 2022 and the WWE Women's Tag Team Titles on Raw in December 2023. After her release from WWE in May 2025, Catanzaro signaled a return to her athletic roots, sharing updates and new booking information on social media.
