Top three possible directions for Cathy Kelley as manager in WWE

New report suggest Cathy Kelley to have a more intriguing role in WWE

In a surprising development, Cathy Kelley is reportedly training to become a manager. While not preparing for in-ring action, she’s exploring a new on-screen role that harks back to WWE’s earlier eras when managers were a key part of storytelling.

With few current managers on the roster, this shift could signal Triple H’s interest in reviving the art of managing. Cathy Kelley’s charisma and familiarity with WWE audiences make her a strong candidate to enhance talent presentation.

Though her client hasn’t been revealed, her transition could mark the beginning of a fresh creative direction in WWE programming. Here are three directions WWE can go with for Cathy Kelly if she becomes a manager.

3. Managing NXT stars & bringing them to main roster

WWE features four main brands: RAW and SmackDown as the flagship shows, along with NXT and EVOLVE. NXT serves as a key developmental ground, producing future stars like Roxanne Perez, Nathan Frazer, Axiom, Giulia and Stephanie Vaquer, all of whom have either teased or confirmed main roster call-ups.

With more NXT talent nearing a move to RAW or SmackDown, Cathy Kelley’s potential new role as a manager could be perfectly timed. She could lead a fresh faction featuring rising stars such as Trick Williams, Cora Jade, or The Meta-Four, giving them a strong voice and presence as they debut on the main stage.

2. Could put a group to go against Paul Heyman and his new group

Cathy Kelley may be preparing to step into her new role as a WWE manager, but the benchmark for greatness in that position is still firmly held by Paul Heyman.

Often mentioned alongside legends like Bobby Heenan and Jim Cornette, Heyman remains the gold standard in wrestling management. Known for guiding the careers of Brock Lesnar and Roman Reigns, Heyman now leads a powerful new alliance with Seth Rollins and Bron Breakker on RAW.

As Kelley begins her managerial journey, a compelling direction could see her form a rival faction to challenge Heyman’s dominance and claim the spotlight.

1. Could manage an all-champion stable

WWE features a wide array of championship titles, with most exclusive to specific brands or shows. EVOLVE is set to expand that collection with new titles of its own.

One of the most exciting scenarios in WWE is when a faction, whether guided by a manager or not, dominates a brand by holding multiple championships.

Groups like The Bloodline, Evolution, and The Shield have all achieved that level of success. For Cathy Kelley, a clear path as a manager could be to build a powerhouse stable on RAW, aiming to capture the World Heavyweight, Intercontinental and Tag Team Titles, which could be a bold yet prestigious mission.
