Tough Enough History: Season Five If you want to look at the most unlikely Tough Enough success story, look at current WWE diva Cameron, whose real name is Ariane Andrew. The fifth season of Tough Enough had 14 contestants and she was the first one eliminated. There was a famous moment in that season where Steve Austin famously asked her what he favorite match in wrestling history is and she said..."Melina and Alicia Fox." That led to a hilarious, stunned reaction from Austin and her lack of knowledge of wrestling probably led to her early dismissal. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BlYIl55WRzc For whatever reason, WWE remained interested in her and she's the only person from that season that has a WWE contract. She filled a role as a Funkadactyl with Naomi as dancers for Brodus Clay at the start of her career. Then she turned heel on former friend Naomi, so that gave her more of a spotlight. She has also been a part of Total Divas since day one although she's apparently not going to be featured on the next season. She's only 27 years old and has shown some improvement in the ring in the last year, so as long as she keeps trying she could be a Divas Champion one day. Even if that doesn't happen, she has gone farther than a lot of people expected when she was on Tough Enough four years ago.
