Professional wrestling careerEarly careerCaroline Couture began to train in early 2008 under Nykk and Ronin Fox at the MECCA Training Camp in Dayton, Ohio. She debuted at the end of the year and worked various independents and Japanese promotions for the next few years, as well as behind the scenes at MECCA. Modern Establishment of Competitive Combat Arts (2005-present)DebutCouture signed a contract with MECCA in mid-2011, and made her debut during a dark tag team match in mid-July, teaming with Naomi Leach to defeat Amber O'Neal and Sombre. Her television debut came on the July 20 episode of Go Time, where she defeated Sombre in singles competition. She would also get a singles win over O'Neal in the next couple of weeks. She competed in a Four Corners match on the Summertime Showdown countdown show, but was unsuccessful. She continued to be a mainstay in the ladies' division over the next few months, gaining experience by wrestling some of its top stars. The Golden GirlCouture spent most of 2012 trying to get into contention for the Ladies' World Championship, but competition was fierce. She competed in a Six-Woman Shootout on the countdown show to The MECCA Challenge VIII, but was unable to secure the win. By August, she managed to get into the top tier of ladies' competitors and was given a title shot at Summertime Showdown in a Four Corners Match, along with Kellie Skater, Nevaeh, and champion Naomi Leach. Couture made Skater tap out, but the ref was being distracted by Leach, who then managed to break up her submission hold and went on to win the match. Couture demanded another title shot, and beat Leach in a non-title match on the following episode of Go Time. She received her title shot on September 12 in Japan, but Naomi used some trickery to make Couture believe she had won by tap out when Leach actually had hold of the ropes, getting her to release her hold. Naomi went on to win the match, but Couture wanted one more shot. She received it at Scared Stiff, and Couture finally made Naomi tap in the middle of the ring to become the new champion. Couture immediately ran into problems with her first challenger, Jessicka Havok. They faced off for the title at No Regrets. Couture managed to get the win, even though Havok's shoulder was up during the three count. An immediate rematch was ordered, and Couture defeated Havok on the following Go Time. But Havok and Naomi weren't done with her, and she suffered attacks from both. A Triangle Match was booked for End of the Line, but Kellie Skater managed to work her way into the match, making it Four Corners. Skater ended up walking out of the match with the win and the title. Couture and Leach blamed one another for losing the match, and they faced off in a Submission Match at Ignition in early 2013, with Couture tapping out Naomi once again to end the feud. She received a rematch against Skater on the February 6 episode of Go Time, and won back the Ladies' Title, only to lose it at Six-Man Melee to Melissa Flash. Couture received a rematch against Flash at Kick Start, but came up short. With all the ladies of MECCA wanting a title shot against Flash, they were put into a Gauntlet Match at The MECCA Challenge IX, with the winner immediately facing Flash for the belt. Couture entered the match and defeated Kellie Skater, but was knocked loopy when Skater attacked her with brass kncukles after the bell. That made her easy prey for Jessicka Havok, who quickly eliminated her. Couture continued working her way toward an eventual title match. In the summer, Couture was attacked with a chair by Flash during a tag team match, which caused her to get involved in Flash's title defense the next week against Nicole Matthews, accidentally costing Matthews the match. Both women received a shot at Flash at Summertime Showdown, with Couture hitting her finisher on Matthews, but being taken out by the champ before she could get the pin, leading to Flash's victory. Couture got a one on one rematch against Flash on the September 11 episode of Go Time, but Flash was once again victorious. Naomi Leach decided to get involved in the feud on Flash's side, and a tag team strap match was made for At Your Own Risk, with Flash and Leach defeating Couture and Matthews. Couture continued to journey through the ladies' division, but was unable to secure another title shot for the time being. The following summer, The Midwest Militia emerged as a new threat in the ladies' division after Jessicka Havok beat Melissa Flash after a 426 day reign as champion. The Militia ran roughshod over the ladies' division, but Couture stepped up as one of the women who were willing to stand up to them. At Never Say Die, she teamed with Nicole Matthews and Kay Lee Ray against the Militia in a six-woman tag, with Couture's team on the losing end. Shortly thereafter, Couture's contract with MECCA expired, and she left to pursue other wrestling opportunities internationally. Her final appearance was a loss to Havok in a Ladies' Title Match on the July 23 episode of Go Time. Second WindCouture returned to MECCA in late 2015, with a win over La Rosa Negra on the October 13 episode of Go Time. She would immediately go after the Ladies' Championship once again, and ended up teaming with Shazza McKenzie against Sassy Stephie and Ladies' Champion Melissa Flash at No Regrets, getting the tap out win on Flash. Couture would go on to face her for the Ladies' Title at End of the Line, but was not successful. She then entered the Women's World Cup double elimination tournament, representing the USA. She would defeat Kay Lee Ray, The Alpha Female, La Rosa Negra, and Misaki Ohata to win the upper brackets, earning her a spot in the tournament finals at The MECCA Challenge XII. The lower brackets was won by LuFisto, and the two battled in a classic in the finals. In the end, Couture walked away with the victory and the World Cup. Couture received another shot at the Ladies' Title at New Dawn, and before the match LuFisto offered to second her. Couture respectfully declined, stating that she wanted to win this on her own. LuFisto came down during the match anyway, and deliberately cost Couture her title match against Jennifer Blake. Both were angered at this, and Blake and Couture feuded with LuFisto and Melissa Flash, who Blake had won the belt from. Both LuFisto and Flash were granted a shot at Blake in a Triangle Match for Punked Out, but MECCA Authority Ronin Fox told Couture he would only let her in the match if she could defeat LuFisto in a rematch from the MECCA Challenge. On the June 14 episode of Go Time, Couture and LuFisto met once again, and once again Couture was victorious after Flash and Blake got involved. Couture won her way into the title match, making it Four Corners, but Blake managed to retain. In wrestling
