Professional wrestling career
WWE (2022–present)
On November 10, 2022, it was announced that Cummins had signed with WWE as part of the WWE Performance Center Fall 2022 Rookie Class.[8] On September 29, 2023, she made her debut at a live event teaming with Fallon Henley losing to Lola Vice and Elektra Lopez. On the January 19, 2024 episode of NXT Level Up, she made her debut under the ring name Carlee Bright where she was defeated by Jacy Jayne. Over the following months, Bright would team with Kendal Grey on Level Up mostly in losing efforts.[9][10][11][12][13] At NXT Stand & Deliver on April 6, NXT General Manager Ava announced the newly created NXT Women's North American Championship, and Bright participated in the preliminary combine to compete for a spot in the six-woman ladder match to crown the inaugural champion at NXT Battleground. However, Bright placed at number 13 and was therefore not selected to be in the qualifying matches since she didn't go through as one of the top 12. On the May 14 episode of WWE NXT, Bright challenged Lola Vice wanting to prove herself after coming up short in the combine but was defeated.[14][15] On the June 18 episode of NXT, Bright was defeated by Fallon Henley after a distraction by Wendy Choo who had attacked her partner Kendal Grey at ringside. On the July 2 episode of NXT, Bright fought Wendy Choo in a losing effort. On the July 23 episode of NXT, Bright fought Wren Sinclair but was defeated after Charlie Dempsey of No Quarter Catch Crew gave Sinclair leverage from outside the ring while she was pinning Bright.[16][17][18]
