Katarina Leigh Waters (born 10 November 1980)

Impact Wrestling under the ring names Katarina or Winter and for her time in WWE under the ring name Katie Lea Burchill. She spent many years on the independent circuit, particularly in the Frontier Wrestling Alliance
, where she used the ring name Nikita.

After signing with WWE, she competed in their former

Knockouts Championship
two times in June and August 2011.

Professional wrestling career

Early career (2000–2002)

At a young age, Waters read an article about the main event of

ITV Meridian's TransAtlantic Wrestling Challenge, a tournament between British and American wrestlers of the NWA where she won the Women's Championship.[8]

Frontier Wrestling Alliance

Feud with The Family (2002–2003)

After starting her wrestling career, Waters sought the Frontier Wrestling Alliance (FWA) and began training with Alex Shane, who inspired her on The Jerry Springer Show. With Shane she began hosting a talk radio programme on Talksport which helped FWA gain national notoriety among the wrestling community. Because of her association with the show she was placed on the card for their February 2002 event, Revival, where she lost to Lexie Fyfe.[12] However, the match was badly reviewed backstage and Waters began training twice a week to improve herself.[citation needed] To keep exposure while improving her in-ring skills, she began to frequently tag team with fellow newcomer Hade Vansen in mixed tag team matches, including a match against British female veteran Sweet Saraya,[12] until August when she impressed with a singles match against Paul Travell. This led to a feud where Travell dominated until the end of 2002[12] but in the first FWA event of 2003 Nikita picked up her first singles victory in the company over Travell and went on a singles winning streak for a month until she lost in her third bout against Andy Simmons.[13]

While Nikita had become successful as a solo wrestler, however, her rivalry with Travell had escalated when he became part of The Family,[8] a group of villainous wrestlers who became FWA Tag Team Champions. The feud escalated after Nikita and Shane failed to win the Tag Team Championship a number of times[13] and led to one of Waters' most famous moments in wrestling[8] when, at the Frontiers of Honour co-held with American promotion Ring of Honor (ROH) in May Alex Shane, Ulf Herman, and Nikita took on The Family (Travell, Brandon Thomas, and Scott Parker) in a hardcore six-man tag team match.[13] Though The Family won, Nikita gained notoriety when she jumped from the top tier in the arena onto the ground, landing on The Family and their feud ended. Waters spoke about this moment in Alternative Wrestling Magazine saying "So the crowd saw what I was about to do and started reacting and cheering before I had even done any-thing, and just that moment standing up there in the light and hearing that was, well, let's just say I wanted to stay up there forever".[14] It was later announced to be the tenth most memorable moment of the FWA's first decade in their YouTube Top 20 Countdown.[15]

Sporadic appearances (2003–2006)

With her rivalry against The Family over, Nikita began a new storyline where an anonymous

World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE) and sent to Ohio Valley Wrestling (OVW) for training.[17]

International circuit (2005–2006)

In 2005, she flew to France to take part in the Fighting Spirit Federation's subordinate promotion Queens of Chaos. In an exhibition match she aligned herself with German wrestler Sick (Dejan Stegar) in a losing tag team effort to

Nora Greenwald as referee International Impact III.[21] She returned to GSW for Night In Motion VII: A Few Good Men in July 2006 to take on the promotion's other premiere female wrestler and namesake, Blue Nikita. The Greek Nikita won the match and since then Waters has used the name Katie Lea instead.[22]

Just before she lost her Nikita name to Blue Nikita, Waters took part in the video tapings for Shimmer Women Athletes in May 2006. Playing a fan favourite in Volume 5, she defeated Lacey but then for Volume 6 became a villain by using underhanded tactics and was pinned by Daizee Haze.[23]

World Wrestling Entertainment (2006-2010)

Ohio Valley Wrestling (2006-2008)

After relocating to the United States, Waters began using the ring name Katie Lea,

dark match victory over Melody on 23 August. A week later she teamed with ODB to make her television debut, losing to Beth Phoenix and Serena. At the time ODB, seeing herself as the best wrestler in OVW, created the OVW Women's Championship for herself and defended it in a battle royal, in which Lea unsuccessfully participated.[25] On 13 September she had another chance in a four-way match but Serena won the belt, besting Lea, Phoenix, and ODB.[26] Her next title opportunity, on 11 October, ended in disqualification when an angry Serena, who had lost the belt to Phoenix, interrupted her three-way match also including ODB.[27] Lea consoled herself by winning a Halloween costume contest.[25]

The day after Halloween saw the OVW Women's Championship contested in a gauntlet match, which Lea won by last pinning Serena, earning her first Women's Championship.[28] She held the title for 212 days, giving her the longest single and combined reigns until Melody went over that mark in June 2009.[26] Phoenix did not take her loss well as it was not in a straight singles match and tried to earn a rematch but lost to Lea in a mixed tag team match the following week, with El Aero Fuego and Charles Evans as their respective partners.[25] Lea tried to defend her belt against Serena but the match ended in disqualification when a jealous Phoenix attacked Serena for having a chance before her[29] and so on 22 November the three were put in a no-disqualification non-title match which Serena won. Having already defended her belt against Serena, though, Lea continued to defend against newcomers, such as ODB and Jennifer Fit.[25] She also began to host an in-ring talk segment entitled "Kat's Kradle.

After this match, on 6 December, Phoenix made her way to the ring and announced herself as still being champion with her own belt. Troubleshooter, or authority figure, Danny Basham announced that as ODB had created the belt for herself neither belt was official but promised to settle the matter.[11] At 13 December OVW television tapings he announced that the dispute would be settled in OVW's first ladies ladder match and the winner would be officially recognised as Women's Champion. In the last television episode of 2006, Lea climbed to the top of the ladder to retrieve both belts and become the undisputed OVW Women's Champion as the year closed.[25] Their feud closed on the first episode of 2007 when Basham went to present the OVW Women's Championship, giving it official recognition in the company, only for Phoenix to snatch it from him. However, this proved to be a show of sportsmanship as Phoenix presented the belt to Lea herself in recognition of their competitive ladder match.[30]

She then began a feud with

Victoria Crawford on 21 July. She pinned Phoenix in August for another shot at the belt but came up short at the end of the month.[30]

Milena Roucka then won the belt from ODB in a six-way dark match, in which Lea participated.[26] After defeating Roucka twice in non-title matches In late October, Roucka attacked Lea in a game of duck, duck, goose and subsequently defeated Lea in a Kiss My Foot match in December to retain the title.[30] In 2008, Lea began receiving presents from a secret admirer including a telegram, flowers, and an outfit. By late February, Paul Burchill revealed himself to be her admirer[31] and helped her win the Women's Championship for the second time. She lost the title a week later to Josie in a dark match[26] because WWE had severed ties with OVW and called her up to their programming.[32]

Debut and championship pursuits (2008–2009)

Waters made her television debut on 11 February's Raw (airing on tape delay from the previous week)[33] as the on-screen sister of fellow FWA alumnus Paul Burchill, becoming Katie Lea Burchill.[5] The two originally displayed early signs of a gimmick based around incest[34] with Paul using the catchphrase "whatever Katie wants, Katie gets", but owing to the WWE changing its television rating to PG (Parental Guidance) later that year, the incest indications stopped.[5] At WrestleMania XXIV, Lea was one of the lumberjills in the Playboy BunnyMania Match, in which Beth Phoenix and Melina defeated Maria and Ashley.[35]

After appearing alongside Burchill on WWE Heat, Lea made her in-ring television debut on 28 April episode of Raw defeating Super Crazy in an intergender Handicap Match along with Burchill.[36][37]

On 19 May, on Raw, she had a confrontation with the

Mr. Kennedy in a mixed tag team match, where Lea pinned James a second time, thus earning a title shot[40] At the Night of Champions pay-per-view, Lea challenged Mickie James for the WWE Women's Championship but was unsuccessful in capturing the title.[41] On 14 July episode of Raw, Lea once again challenged James for the Women's Championship, but was unsuccessful. After she and her brother beat James and Kofi Kingston,[42] she received another chance at James' title in August but failed to win.[43]

She closed out the year by appearing tag team matches, regularly teaming with Jillian Hall.[44] On the last Raw of the year, she made her final appearance in a battle royal to determine the next challenger for the Women's Championship, which was ultimately won by Melina.[45]

Brand switches and departure (2009–2010)

Two days later, on 30 December, it was revealed that Lea and Burchill had been moved to the

Alicia Fox.[47] However, the Burchills lost a tag team match against Gabriel and Fox the following week.[48]

WrestleMania XXV
event in April 2009

On 5 April 2009, she competed in the

WrestleMania XXV, but the match was won by Santina Marella.[49] Lea wrestled again in July 2009 against the newly drafted Bella Twins. First facing Nikki, Katie took the advantage but Nikki swapped places with her twin sister, fooling both Katie and the referee, causing Katie to lose.[50] Two weeks later on WWE Superstars, the twins made the same switch in reverse order after the referee could not differentiate between the two and Lea lost again.[51]

From August towards the end of 2009, Paul became embroiled in a rivalry with backstage interviewer

ECW, which saw Hurricane's mask put up against Burchill's career on the ECW brand. Despite many attempts, Paul could not secure the pin and subsequently lost the match, resulting in both he and Katie Lea leaving ECW.[52] The following week on ECW, Katie Lea and Paul, now sporting masks and calling themselves The Beautiful Nightmare and The Ripper, respectively, appeared in a backstage segment with General Manager Tiffany and asked for a contract, which Tiffany said they would receive if The Ripper could defeat The Hurricane the next week on ECW.[2] However, The Ripper was unmasked by Hurricane and subsequently defeated in their match, resulting in Katie and Burchill remaining off ECW.[53]

On 11 January 2010, Lea moved back to the Raw brand without her brother

Maryse, Natalya, Hall, and Alicia Fox in a losing effort to the team of Kim, Kelly Kelly, Eve Torres, and The Bella Twins.[44] On 26 February, Paul was formally released by WWE leaving Katie to appear on her own, but she was released from her WWE contract two months later, on 22 April, ending her five-year tenure with the company.[55][56]
