Kacy Catanzaro spent nearly a decade under the WWE umbrella, transitioned from a gymnastics and American Ninja Warrior background, and even held tag team goldbut she now reveals that none of it ever felt like enough to make her feel like she truly belonged.
During an interview with Chris Van Vliet, Catanzaro admitted that she constantly battled feelings of being out of placeeven as she racked up years with the company and memorable moments inside the ring. Despite making the leap to WWE without any prior wrestling experience, she pushed herself through training at the Performance Center, only to always feel like the outsider. While discussing her internal struggles, Kacy opened up:
She went on to explain that the feeling never really went awayeven after spending almost a full decade in WWE.
Kacy also made it clear that it wasnt an issue of not being able to physically keep up. It was something deeper.
Even with viral Royal Rumble saves and a tag title reign to her name, the emotional weight of impostor syndrome followed her throughout her runsomething many fans wouldnt have guessed watching her perform.
Kacys honesty adds depth to a conversation often avoided in wrestling: just because someone is on TV doesnt mean they always feel like theyve arrived. And in her case, that feeling never quite came.
