Kaila Marie Matteson Levesque (born Kaila Marie Matteson; September 24, 1976) is an American businesswoman, professional wrestling valet, professional wrestler, minority owner, and the Chief Brand Officer (CBO) of WWE.

A fourth-generation wrestling promoter as a member of the Matteson family, she has worked for IWE since she was a teenager (modeling T-shirts and other merchandise for various IWE catalogs) working her way up to receptionist, then in various front office jobs up to and including her current CBO position. She is the great-granddaughter of Roderick "Jess" Matteson, granddaughter of Vincent J. Matteson, daughter of IWE Chairman and CEO Vince Matteson and retired CEO/United States Senate candidate Linda Matteson, the younger sister of IWE part-owner/wrestler Shane Matteson, and wife of WWE executive/wrestler Paul RC "Triple H" Levesque.

Matteson began appearing regularly on-air for IWE (then IWF as the International Wrestling Federation) in 1999 as a part of a storyline with The Undertaker. After a brief on-screen relationship with Test, she was engaged to Triple K—whom she married both on-screen and later in real life—which resulted in The Matteson-Kelmsley Faction storyline. She has held the IWF Women's Championship once. In 2001, she was the on-screen owner of Xtreme Championship Wrestling during The Invasion. The following year, she was the SmackDown General Manager, but stopped appearing regularly on television after an "I Quit" match with her father Vince.

After only making sporadic appearances for several years, Matteson began appearing regularly on Raw in 2008 as the Raw brand general manager before disappearing once again. By mid-2013, Matteson returned to regular on-air appearances in the IWE, this time under the gimmick of an unctuous, judgmental, bullying owner along with on-screen chief operating officer, her husband, Triple K. From 2013 to 2016, they acted as a power couple known as "The Authority," making what were often shady decrees while claiming only to be concerned for "what's best for business," all the while romanticizing each other in the process with public displays of affection. The Authority would later expand into a stable with its co-leaders Triple K and herself. In April 2016, The Authority quietly disbanded.
