Allyssa Lyn Lane (born May 20, 1988) is an American professional wrestler. She is signed to All Elite Wrestling (AEW) and Ring of Honor (ROH), where she performs under the ring name Lacey Lane and is a member of CRU. She is best known for her time in WWE, where she performed under the ring name Kayden Carter from 2018 to 2025 and (alongside Katana Chance) became a one-time and the longest-reigning NXT Women's Tag Team Champion and one-time WWE Women's Tag Team Champion. The two also became the first women's tag team to have won the WWE and NXT Women's Tag Team Championships.
On the September 16 episode of NXT, Carter teamed with Kacy Catanzaro in a winning effort against Jessi Kamea and Xia Li. They took part in the 2021 Women's Dusty Rhodes Tag Team Classic tournament, defeating Mercedes Martinez and Toni Storm in the quarterfinals, but were beaten by Dakota Kai and Raquel González in the semifinals. They would then feud with Xia Li after constantly being attacked by her throughout the following weeks. On the March 10 episode of NXT, Carter lost to Li by disqualification after Catanzaro hit the latter with a crutch. The next year, Catanzaro and Carter participated in the 2022 Women's Dusty Rhodes Tag Team Classic where they defeated Diamond Mine's Ivy Nile and Tatum Paxley in the first round, but lost to Kay Lee Ray and Io Shirai in the semifinals. After defeating Yulisa Leon and Valentina Feroz on the April 26 episode of NXT, Chance (whose name had officially been changed by WWE from Kacy Catanzaro to "Katana Chance" one week earlier) and Carter pursued the NXT Women's Tag Team Championship where they failed to win the titles at NXT In Your House from Toxic Attraction. After losing, Chance and Carter began a slow heel turn where they failed to become number one contenders for the NXT Women's Tag Team Championship which they lost on the June 28 episode of NXT to Cora Jade and Roxanne Perez.
Carter and Chance won the vacant NXT Women's Tag Team Championship in a fatal four-way elimination match, lastly eliminating Toxic Attraction, on the August 2 episode of NXT, marking Chance's first professional title and Carter's first title in WWE. They defended their titles against Doudrop and Nikki A.S.H. at Worlds Collide, and against Nikkita Lyons and Zoey Stark on the October 25 and November 8 episodes of NXT. On January 8, 2023, Catanzaro and Carter became the longest reigning NXT Women's Tag Team Champions. On the January 24 episode of NXT, they retained against Alba Fyre and Sol Ruca. At NXT Vengeance Day, Carter and Chance lost the NXT Women's Tag Team Championship to Fallon Henley and Kiana James, ending their historic reign at 186 days.
As part of the 2023 WWE Draft, Carter, along with tag team partner Chance, was drafted to the Raw brand. Carter and Chance made their main roster debut on the June 5 episode of Raw in a losing effort against the WWE Women's Tag Team Champions Ronda Rousey and Shayna Baszler. On the December 11 episode of Raw, it was announced that Carter and Chance became the new number one contenders for the WWE Women's Tag Team Championship and would challenge Chelsea Green and Piper Niven for the titles. On the December 18 episode of Raw, Carter and Chance defeated Green and Niven to become the new WWE Women's Tag Team Champions, becoming the first female tag team to have won the WWE and NXT Women's Tag Team Championships. Carter and Chance had their first successful title defense on the January 8, 2024, episode of Raw where they defeated Green and Niven in a rematch. On the January 26 episode of SmackDown, they lost the titles to Damage CTRL's The Kabuki Warriors (Asuka and Kairi Sane), ending their reign at 39 days.
Carter and Chance were transferred to the SmackDown brand as part of the post-2024 WWE Draft transfer window in February 2025, but were released from WWE on May 2.
On the January 8, 2026 episode of ROH on HonorClub, Lane joined CRU (Action Andretti and Lio Rush).
