World Wrestling Entertainment
Florida Championship Wrestling
In July 2010, World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE) signed Bonin to a developmental contract, and she reported to Florida Championship Wrestling, WWE's developmental territory. She debuted under the ring name Celeste, competing in a bikini contest. Her name would soon be changed to Ricki Vaughn, however, she never would actually debut under the name as she would soon change it to her NXT name Kaitlyn. On the August 22, 2010 episode of FCW, she would make her FCW TV debut as a lumberjill at ringside along with the other Divas for the AJ Lee vs Naomi Night Queen of FCW/FCW Divas Championship match.
NXT
On September 7, it was announced that Bonin would join season 3 of NXT, under the name Kaitlyn, with Vickie Guerrero as her storyline pro. She was the replacement for Guerrero's original rookie, Aloisia, whom Guerrero fired in storyline. That week, she unsuccessfully competed in both a dance competition and a 'capture the flag' contest. The following week, Kaitlyn made her in-ring debut, when she teamed up with Guerrero's on-screen boyfriend Dolph Ziggler to defeat A.J. and Primo in a mixed tag team match. She also won the obstacle course challenge. On the Sept. 21st edition of NXT, Kaitlyn and Lay-Cool lost to Kelly Kelly, Naomi Knight, and Jaime Keyes in a 6 diva tag team match. After the match Lay-Cool attacked her, while her pro, Vickie stood by and watched with approval, Vickie also berated her after the beating. On Friday September 24, Kaitlyn and Vickie Gurrero were in Dolph Ziggler's corner when he was facing MVP on Smackdown. Vickie told Kaitlyn to leave ringside but Kaitlyn decided to push Vickie over.
