An Earlier Years
After she took part in a non-televised episode of “Diva Search” in 2011, she started wrestling. World Wrestling Entertainment organized and sponsored the talent contest (WWE).
She participated in the professional wrestling reality TV series “Tough Enough” later that year. The first contestant to be booted from the competition that year was Cameron for not having a passion for wrestling.
Ariane Nicole ‘s Career
Despite being booted from “Tough Enough,” An further deal from “WWE” was immediately disclosed by Cameron. She next appeared at a “Florida Championship Wrestling” (FCW) house show as the ring announcer.
On July 9, 2011, as “Cameron Lynn,” she engaged in her first in-ring combat after making her debut on July 7.
She was the first to be removed and faced “divas” including Raquel Diaz, Sonia, Aksana, and Audrey Marie. She made her TV debut in an episode of “FCW TV” in October 2011 alongside Byron Saxton.
She competed alongside Naomi Knight, who would later become her partner, in a match against Leah West that Knight won. On October 23, she and Naomi defeated Caylee Turner and Kaitlyn in a bout that they both won.
As Naomi and Cameron danced to celebrate Brodus Clay’s comeback on January 9, 2012, Cameron made her ‘WWE’ roster debut. Together with Naomi, she participated in “WrestleMania XXVIII,” the greatest yearly event of the WWE.
She made her main-roster television debut on December 16, 2012, in a “battle royal” between Santa’s Little Helpers during the “TLC: Tables, Ladders & Chairs” pre-show. Naomi won the “battle royal,” and she went on to compete against Eve Torres for the “Divas Championship” crown.
Together, Cameron and Naomi were known as “The Funkadactyls,” and they kept performing as Brodus Clay’s backup dancers. In 2013, Aksana and Tamina attempted to persuade Clay to hire them, which resulted in a match that Cameron and Naomi won. It was Naomi and Cameron’s first time competing together.
The “SmackDown” program from March 15 in which the “Bella Twins” attacked them was the subject of their other much-discussed segment. Then, during a bout between “Tons of Funk” (Brodus Clay and Tensai) and “Team Rhodes Scholars,” “The Funkadactyls” attacked the twins (Cody Rhodes and Damien Sandow).
Eventually, they fought each other in a tag team battle on the “Main Event” program on March 27. Due to Cody Rhodes’ interference, the “Bella Twins” were able to win the match. The “Bella Twins” and “Team Rhodes Scholars” were scheduled to compete against “The Funkadactyls” and “Tons of Funk” at “WrestleMania 29” in an eight-person mixed tag-team bout. The match was moved to the next “Monday Night Raw” because of time restrictions. In the end, “The Funkadactyls” and “Tons of Funk” triumphed.
By declaring the “Total Divas” undeserving in August 2013, AJ Lee of the “True Divas” initiated a feud with them. This led to a battle between her and Cameron on the “SmackDown” episode from September 27 in which the latter lost.
The ‘Total Divas’ and the ‘True Divas’ eventually engaged in seven-on-seven elimination’ match at the ‘Survivor Series pay-per-view, and they later rematch in the ensuing ‘Raw’ show as a result of the feud.
Although Cameron was defeated by Tamina and Rosa Mendes in different matches, her team won both of them. Because of Clay’s impetuous attitude, Cameron and Naomi departed “Tons of Funk” on the December episode of “TLC: Tables, Ladders & Chairs” and joined R-Truth and Xavier Woods in the subsequent “Raw” show.
2014 saw the continuation of the conflict between AJ Lee and “The Funkadactyls,” this time with Tamina Snuka, AJ’s former bodyguard. Before suffering an eye injury during a match against Asuka that forced her to leave the “WWE,” Naomi defeated AJ and Asuka multiple times on “Raw” and “SmackDown.”
However, after defeating Asuka in February 2014, Cameron was given the chance to compete in the “Divas Championship” Elimination Chamber. She was declared the winner by disqualification after Tamina unintentionally “super kicked” AJ Lee.
She fell short of capturing the championship at “WrestleMania XXX,” which was ultimately won by AJ Lee. Paige, the current “Divas Champion,” and Cameron started a feud in June 2014; Paige eventually won many battles against Cameron.
‘The Funkadactyls’ started breaking up about this time. Cameron finally became a heel after Cameron and Naomi were defeated by Paige and AJ Lee in July 2014. After losing to Emma in the match, Cameron went to assault her, but Naomi stopped him. In a “four-on-four elimination tag-team match” at “Survivor Series,” Naomi once again eliminated her.
Cameron served as the special guest referee for the April 2015 match between Natalya and Alicia Fox, in which she ultimately attacked both “divas.” This resulted in a triple-threat bout, which Cameron won. On November 4, 2015, Cameron made a comeback to “NXT” after having a vacation, although he was defeated by Asuka.
She participated in a “battle royal” on January 13, 2016, which Carmella won, pitting Bayley against her for the “NXT Women’s Championship” title. Cameron’s final outing on “NXT” came on the episode from February 10 in which she was defeated by Alexa Bliss. On May 6, 2016, “WWE” released her.
