In this match, she teamed up with Rosa Mendes and Aksana. They faced AJ Lee, Kaitlyn, and Naomi Knight. Christina's team lost the match. In February 2011, she left WWE for a short time. This was to be on the TV show Tough Enough.

Returning to WWE and Winning a Title

After Tough Enough, Christina signed with WWE again. She returned to wrestling on June 22 in a tag team match. For several months, she mostly wrestled in tag team matches. In January 2012, Caylee Turner started trying to win the FCW Divas Championship. She tried to win it from Audrey Marie but did not succeed at first.

In March, she started a rivalry with a group called the Anti-Diva Army. This group included Sofia Cortez, Paige, and Raquel Diaz. To fight them, Christina teamed up with Audrey Marie and Kaitlyn. On June 20, Turner appeared on NXT Wrestling. She was a special guest ring announcer for the show.

On June 29, Caylee Turner defeated Raquel Diaz. This win made her the FCW Divas Champion for the first time.

Leaving WWE and Final Matches

On August 1, 2012, Caylee Turner appeared on an episode of NXT. The NXT Commissioner, Dusty Rhodes, announced a "Gold Rush" tournament. This tournament would crown the first-ever NXT Champion. On August 5, Turner successfully defended her Divas Championship against Sofia Cortez. This was her last match in FCW.

She was released from her WWE contract on August 11, 2012. She was still the champion when she left, so the title was left empty. Turner had her last televised match for WWE on August 8 on NXT. She teamed with Kaitlyn but lost to Tamina Snuka and Paige. The FCW Divas title was officially stopped on August 14. This happened because FCW changed its name to NXT Wrestling.
