Catanzaro going through an obstacle course

Before heading down to WWE developmental, Kacy Catanzaro made a name for herself in ‘American Ninja Warrior’. The sixth season of the show saw Catanzaro become the first-ever female athlete to beat the intermediate obstacle course.

One of the obstacles in the show was a 14-foot high wall that the competitors needed to run up to, and tap the buzzer. Catanzaro also became the first woman to scale the wall, and has stated that it is her favorite obstacle.

She went on to host Team Ninja Warrior, coaching none other than "Arrow" star Stephen Amell on one of the episodes.

Given the opportunity to script WWE’s next big storyline, Abhilash would treat fans to the second installment of The Bloodline Civil War. He would book Roman Reigns to re-form The Bloodline with The Usos and Sami Zayn upon his comeback. The angle would see The Tribal Chief-led group go head-to-head with The Rock, Solo Sikoa, Tama Tonga, and Jacob Fatu in a blockbuster family feud.

When not reporting on pro wrestling, Abhilash likes to work out, go on walks, read, and explore new eateries.
