Kyle Lewis

Caralyn Shawnee Ortega (nee Lewis; born June 20, 1982) is an American professional wrestler and trainer currently signed to Rising Sun Championship Wrestling under the name Kyle Lewis.

Early Life
Lewis was raised in Nashville's Bellevue neighborhood. She is the oldest child of William and Amelia Lewis, both former postal workers. Her father is white and her mother, who is originally from Texas, is Kickapoo. She has two siblings, Arlene (born 1985) and Paul (born 1987). She graduated from Hillwood High School in 2000.

Early Career (2002 - 2005)
After working for nearly two years to finance the move, Lewis relocated to Detroit, Michigan in March 2002 to train at Madam Vega's Wrestling School for Girls. She made her debut that November at a show just across the border in Windsor, Ontario, Canada under the name Shawnee Stone. Lewis continued to train with Vega and worked primarily in the Midwest and in Canada. In 2004, as a part of a talent exchange between Vega's school and The Five-0 Factory, Lewis spent nearly a year training and working for the Pacific Wrestling Federation in Honolulu, Hawaii under the tutelage of head trainer Jade Steel. It was in Hawaii that she started using the ring name Kyle Lewis. She returned to Detroit in April 2005.

Honor Championship Wrestling (2005 - 2008)
Lewis began making appearances for Philadelphia-based Honor Championship wrestling in July 2005; it was in this promotion that she met future husband Chance Silvera. She went on to hold the HCW Women's Championship on four different occasions.

Inferno Wrestling (2009 - 2013; 2014 - 2017)
Silvera and Lewis signed with Toronto-based Inferno Wrestling in January 2009 and debuted the following month. As two-fifths of the AWF (All Will Fall) stable, the couple won the inaugural Inferno Wrestling Tag Team Supremacy Tournament and held the Inferno Wrestling Tag Team Championships three times. Lewis also became a one-time Inferno Wrestling Champion, two-time Inferno Wrestling Provincial Champion, one-time Inferno Wrestling Cruiserweight Champion, and won the 2012 Hellfire Rumble. She left on maternity leave in February 2013, eventually returning to in-ring action in December 2014. Lewis and her husband departed from IW in July 2017.

Trainer (2010 - present)
Lewis was brought on as an official member of the training staff at Vega's school in October 2010. It was here that she met Vega's oldest daughter, eventual friend and tag team partner Mia Marie Vega.

Rising Sun Championship Wrestling (2017 - present)
Lewis signed with Tokyo-based Rising Sun Championship wrestling in September 2017. She was brought in as one-half of the tag team Cardiac Arrest alongside longtime friend Mia Marie Vega.

Personal Life
Lewis resides in the Detroit suburb of Farmington Hills. She married fellow professional wrestler Vincent Ortega, better known by his ring name Chance Silvera, in 2010. The pair dated for five years prior. They have one daughter, Eliana, who was born in August 2013; Lewis' tag team partner, Mia Marie Vega, is Eliana's godmother. She is also close friends with Vega's cousin, Corrina Grey.
