When Cathy Kelley learned in August that NXT would air live every week on the USA Network, she immediately wanted to be in Orlando every Wednesday.
“I fought to be back here,” said Kelley, who is NXT’s backstage correspondent. “The people at NXT are looking to prove themselves. That’s why I’m here, too, because of my passion. We’re hungry for this opportunity.”
Kelley studied journalism at Loyola University Chicago, then broke into the entertainment business as a host on Maria Menounos’ Afterbuzz TV online broadcast network. Her interviews convey the realism of sports, blended with entertainment, which was the style she hungered to bring to backstage segments in NXT.
