With a background as a fitness model, she found her way into the WWE in 2010. The Women's Revolution didn't exist back then, and she came into a company that still viewed female wrestling more as eye candy than legitimate in-ring action. WWE assigned her to the developmental territory FCW, where she ironically debuted in a Bikini Contest.

After winning NXT Season 3, Kaitlyn joined the main roster but wasn't ready for the title picture yet. However, an accidental victory led to her breaching the Divas Championship scene and holding the title for 153 days.

She competed in a Divas Championship No.1 contender's battle royal on the 20 August 2012 episode of Raw. WWE had planned for Eve Torres to come out as the winner, but when the latter asked Kaitlyn to hit her hard during the last clothesline spot, Kaitlyn obliged. But Torres couldn't land on the apron and fell to the floor, awarding Kaitlyn the accidental victory.
