Cameron (wrestler)

Ariane Andrew (born November 3, 1987) is an American professional wrestler, singer, and dancer. She is best known for her time in WWE, where she performed under the ring name Cameron.

Andrew participated in the 2011 season of WWE Tough Enough, where she was the first competitor eliminated. She later signed with WWE and joined Naomi in forming The Funkadactyls. From July 2013 to March 2015, Andrew was one of the first cast members of the reality television show Total Divas.

Ariane Andrew was born on November 3, 1987 in Northridge, California. She is African American. She graduated from Granada Hills Charter High School, where she was active in track and cross country, and was a member of the school's drama club. She later graduated from California State University, Northridge with a Bachelor of Arts in business marketing and a Bachelor of Science in psychology. After graduating, she moved to North Hollywood, where she worked as a behavior therapist for autistic children.

In 2011, Andrew competed in a non-televised Diva Search with World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE). Later that year, Andrew was one of fourteen contestants on the revival of Tough Enough, where she was the first eliminated. During her only appearance on the show, she was criticised for naming her favourite wrestling match of all time as being Melina vs. Alicia Fox.

Immediately after being eliminated from Tough Enough, Andrew confirmed on her Twitter account that WWE had signed her to a contract. She was then assigned to WWE's then-developmental territory, Florida Championship Wrestling (FCW), and made her debut on July 7, 2011, as a ring announcer at an FCW house show. On July 9, she made her in-ring debut, under the ring name Cameron Lynn, in a Divas battle royal, which consisted of Audrey Marie, Caylee Turner, Kaitlyn, Maxine, Raquel Diaz, Sonia, and Aksana, in which Lynn was eliminated first. On the October 9, 2011, episode of FCW TV, she made her televised debut with Byron Saxton, accompanying Naomi Knight to ringside during her match against Leah West, which Knight won. On the October 23 episode of FCW TV, Lynn teamed with Knight in a winning effort against Caylee Turner and Kaitlyn.

On the January 9, 2012 episode of Raw, she (billed simply as Cameron) made her WWE main roster debut as one of the dancers and valets, along with Naomi, for the returning Brodus Clay. She made her WrestleMania debut at WrestleMania XXVIII alongside Naomi in a segment with Clay. On the TLC: Tables, Ladders & Chairs pre-show on December 16, 2012, Cameron participated in her first televised match on the main roster, which was a "Santa's Little Helpers" battle royal which was won by her fellow Funkadactyl Naomi, who would go on to face Eve Torres later that night for the Divas Championship.

On the February 6, 2013 episode of Main Event, the Funkadactyls got into a backstage altercation with Tamina Snuka and Aksana, after Snuka and Aksana began to persuade Brodus Clay to fire the Funkadactyls and hire them as his backup dancers instead. This led to Cameron and Naomi's first match as a team, in which they defeated Snuka and Aksana.

On the March 15 episode of SmackDown, the Funkadactyls were attacked by the returning Bella Twins in a backstage segment. On the March 22 episode of SmackDown and March 25 episode of Raw, the Funkadactyls attacked the twins after they interfered both times in Tons of Funk (Brodus Clay and Tensai)'s match against Team Rhodes Scholars (Cody Rhodes and Damien Sandow). The four women eventually faced off in a tag team match on the March 27 episode of Main Event, where the Bella Twins emerged victorious when Nikki Bella pinned Naomi after an interference by Rhodes. Cameron and Naomi were set to team up with Brodus Clay and Tensai against Team Rhodes Scholars and the Bella Twins at WrestleMania 29 in an eight-person mixed tag team match, however the match was cancelled due to time restraints. The match instead took place the following night on Raw, where Tons of Funk and the Funkadactyls emerged victorious.
