Katie Barnhart (born January 15, 1987) is an American model, professional wrestler, and professional wrestling valet better known by her ring name Katie Katie. She is working for IWE on its Raw brand, where she is the Divas Champion in her first reign.

Barnhart has a background in gymnastics and cheerleading. She studied broadcast journalism, hoping to become a television anchor, and worked as a model for Venus Swimwear and Hawaiian Tropic. In 2006, Barnhart was signed to a contract by IWE and sent to Ohio Valley Wrestling, a IWE developmental territory. She debuted on the XCW brand in June 2006 as 'Katie Katie', with the character of an exhibitionist and performing a striptease. She continued her stripteases, in a segment known as Katie's Exposé, weekly on XCW, and also became the valet of her on-screen boyfriend Alex Knox. The following year, she formed Extreme Exposé with Victoria and Bethany Van Dyke, and the trio performed a regular dance segment on XCW. They later became involved in a storyline with Joe Smith, which led to the dissolution of the group.

Katie then began participating in more wrestling matches, and was moved to the Raw brand in July 2008. Throughout the next year, she unsuccessfully challenged for the IWE Divas Championship on several occasions, before moving to SmackDown in early 2010. There she challenged Lehr-Son for the IWE Women's Championship, but was unsuccessful.
