Kacy Catanzaro Reflects On Winning NXT Women’s Tag Team Titles

Kacy Catanzaro recently looked back on her NXT Women’s Tag Team Championship win with Kayden Carter in August of 2022. The two won the titles on the August 2nd, 2022 episode of WWE NXT, and became the longest-reigning champions with a 186-day reign. They also had a shorter run with the WWE Women’s Tag Team Championships when they got to the main roster.

Catanzaro reflected on the NXT win in her recent interview with Fightful’s Sean Ross Sapp. The WWE alumna noted that she was happy with how that win went down because the company held it off until the fans really wanted them to win.

“I remember both times,” Catanzaro said of her title wins. “When it was in NXT — I remember them saying with NXT, it was like, ‘We really want to get to the point where the people really want it for you.’ In NXT, it was like so many times we were in that story and we just kept not making it, kept not making it. I’m really glad the way it happened because when we finally did it was just so worth it.”

She continued, “So I just remember those moments. It’s hard because when someone tells you that you’re going to get something, it’s like, ‘Okay, they’re just saying you’re getting it.’ But to feel from the crowd and the people on the journey with you that you’ve earned it.’ I felt like in both scenarios, we had really worked for it. So it felt really validating to be able to know that they trusted you with that.”

Catanzaro was released from WWE in May of 2025 as part of a set of roster cuts. She has yet to return to the ring since.
