So today we’ll be taking a look on a story concerning Cathy Kelley that went further
then she intended it to
Cathy Kelley was a phenomenal talent for WWE for a handful of years
Cathy Kelley is a longtime wrestling fan that had a true passion for WWE
Before signing with the WWE in 2016, Cathy was a panelist for Maria Menouno’s AfterBuzz
TV
Maria Menounos has been working closely with WWE for a handful of years now and even became
an ambassador for the company in 2013
Maria has hosted raw, competed on Raw, and even competed at wrestlemania, so she had
a nice little wwe career as well
Cathy Kelley was hosting these after-shows on Maria’s network for Raw and NXT and it
looks like it really helped WWE notice Cathy and they wanted to sign her right away
Her knowledge of wrestling and her talents for hosting the shows really made her stand
out to WWE and she came aboard WWE in 2016
Cathy Kelley started of her WWE career be appearing and hosting a lot WWE’s digital
content
Whether it was on WWE’s YouTube Channel or WWE’s official website, a lot of that
content was hosted by Cathy and she became a fan favorite host
Cathy even became the head of the digital department at one point, so she definitely
played a huge role in all of that content that was released during that time
After Cathy left the digital content role, she was brought over to NXT and the main roster
She served as a backstage interviewer mostly for NXT, but also made some appearances for
Smackdown
Many feel like Cathy would’ve continued to climb up the rankings and maybe even become
a full time commentator one day, but all that became impossible when Cathy Kelley unfortunately
left the WWE in early 2020
Cathy wasn’t fired or left because of any backstage situation, Cathy has a creative
mind and expressed that she wants to write and work on different projects and with WWE’s
chaotic schedule, we all know that WWE barely gives you any free time to yourself to work
on other things, so that’s what lead to Cathy’s decision to leave the company
She realized if she ever wanted to fulfill these other dreams that she had for her projects,
she would have to give up her dream job at WWE and that’s exactly what she did
But going back to that 2016 to 2017 timeframe, there were rumors that started to run wild
about a possible relationship between Cathy Kelley and WWE Superstar Finn Balor
At no time did they actually confirm their relationship, but there was pictures of them
holding hands in public and attending parties together, so many fans just assumed they were
together
The couple unfortunately split very quietly and their breakup was once again highly speculated
and talked about for a while

Let’s get back into the story
Finn Balor is now happily married and crazy about his wife Veronica Rodriguez
Veronica Rodriguez works for Fox Sports Mexico and the story of them confirming their relationship
actually came out of no where
Veronica was just doing her job before a big game and interviewed Finn Balor about his
predictions for the game
That’s when Finn Balor said “I think the big question is, on everyone’s lip is, have
Finn Balor and Veronica been actually dating for a long time?
Is that true?”
Veronica was caught by surprise by Finn’s big reveal about them and replied by saying:
“yeah for a long time actually”
And Finn finished the interview off by saying: “So it doesn’t really matter who wins
tonight in the Champions League, I think I’ve already won in life”
So that reveal by Finn really came out of no where, no one had any idea about them being
together before that interview
From there on Finn Balor and Veronica would post many pictures together and even get married
later that year
Cathy Kelley on the other hand was rumored to be dating NXT’s Velveteen Dream
Once again, not so much concrete proof of that relationship either, but Dream used to
call Cathy “Queen Cathy, and Cathy even changed her Twitter name at one point to “Queen
Cathy”
WWE also released a photoshoot that also showed them hugging each other, so that’s where
the rumors came from for Cathy and Velveteen Dream
However, Cathy Kelley took to twitter to make a joke about being single and rumors took
off again after that
For some reason, fans are just so interested in knowing about what WWE relationships are
out there and if they breakup, fans wanna know why they broke up and then they just
start spreading rumors
It pretty much gets pretty hectic and it definitely isn’t fair to the people that you’re talking
about and discussing
It’s their personal lives, but some fans really cross the line quite often
Cathy Kelley and other superstars have all pointed this out and addressed it in the past
Cathy has even joked on twitter that wrestling dirtsheets only talk about her when it’s
drama or relationship related
Well it looks like those same websites never learn their lesson
A few websites took Cathy’s recent tweet and really shifted to make it look like she
was talking about about her ex-wwe boyfriends
Cathy had posted a custom made puzzle that she was putting up for charity with 100% of
the proceeds going to a relief organization
It’s such a great gesture especially now more than ever with everything going on.
So gotta give it to Cathy for that
But one fan responded with “Cathy, what is one thing that you can’t do?”
The fan just meant it as a compliment, just sort of implying that she really is so talented
That’s when Cathy actually responded, but she responded with a joke about her single
life and said
“[I can’t] find an emotionally stable man to date”
The same fan actually replied back and said “I’m right here”, but that’s not the
biggest story from this tweet
Fans and even some dirtsheets twisted those word around as if the tweet was personals
jabs towards Finn Balor and Velveteen Dream
The comment section of Cathy’s tweet was all filled with Finn Balor and Velveteen Dream
pictures and gifs, so the fans were thinking the same thing
By her saying that she can’t find an emotionally stable man to date does that mean that she’s
indirectly saying that Finn Balor and Velveteen Dream we’re both emotionally unstable?
That’s what majority of fans understood it as, it made a few headlines and everyone
was trying figure out how unstable Finn Balor and velveteen dream actually are
Cathy returned to twitter after the story started getting all twisted up and took another
jab at those websites, she had this to say:
“I don’t know who needs to hear this but me making a joke is not news. and copying
and pasting is not journalism.”
So there goes the real clarification from Cathy Kelley herself.
Saying that it was nothing but a simple joke and had nothing to do with any any of her
ex boyfriends
The second part of that tweet was a jab towards the dirtsheets that Cathy has been feuding
with for a longtime now
Cathy has problem with some dirtsheets calling themselves real journalists when all they
do is take a tweet like Cathy’s and twist her words around
We all like to talk about wrestling topics and dive deep into wrestling storylines and
headlines, but Cathy seems to have a problem with these so called “journalists” that
are making a whole news article from one single tweet that was meant to be just a joke
She finds it to be quite overdramatic on their end, which is up for debate and very much
could be true
At no time did Cathy ever mention Finn Balor or Velveteen dream by name, but thanks to
the dirtsheets, they pushed the narrative that the tweet could’ve been about Finn
Balor and Dream being emotionally unstable which Cathy did not appreciate at all
So Cathy and pretty much anyone in this situation would be understandably frustrated with someone
trying to twist their words around
Cathy Kelley still has a lot of fans supporting her.
Even though it’s unfortunate we lost a such a great talent in WWE, we still look forward
to seeing some of the projects that Cathy has been working on in the near future
