24-year-old La Catalina worked with WWE (ring name - Katrina Cortez) for two years (from 2019 to 2021) and left after her visa expired. She then went to Mexico to perform for the independent circuits. She was a popular name in Consejo Mundial de Lucha Libre (CMLL), where she won the 2023 CMLL Universal Amazons Championship.

It was recently revealed that AEW has advertised La Catalina's debut for Tony Khan's promotion. She will take on Lady Frost for the ROH portion of the AEW Dynamite tapings on February 19 at Arizona Financial Theater.

"La Catalina! You were lucky this time, because nobody, nobody beats timeless Toni Storm! You got lucky! But unlucky for you, I will be back! Very soon! I don't know when, but you will soon find out. So get ready for the arse-whooping of the ages! I hate you! I hate you, La Catalina! You and your bottom better watch out. Okay? Okay."
