 Second life championship wrestling (SLCW)/Digital championship wrestling (DCWF) 

Hallison made her debut at SLCW in late september 2008, under the ring name Kayla Stratten. Stratten was most known for the alliance she formed with tag partners Katiee Davi and Candice Thespian all together known as Fatal Attraction™. They portrayed characters that were superficial and high maintenance, making them the first competitors comparable to The Beautiful People. Controversy arose over the type of character Stratten played, after being labelled a "Diva", despite this, Stratten continued performing and eventually went on to become the first "Diva" to compete in a womens championship match, in which she effectively lost. After attending her first SLCW Awards show, Stratten was awarded for best promo, following the rivalry between Antonia Foggarty and Fatal Attraction™ which resulted in Stratten blowing up Antonias car on the big screen, with co-team members Katiee Davi and Sierra Charisma, the latest addition to the team since the release of Candice Thespian.

In December 2009, Hallison announced she was leaving the renamed DCWF (SLCW), following an incident involving her friend and co-team member, Sierra Charisma and the then chairman Eric Stuart. Hallison stated she grew tired of females being prosecuted for acting like females.

On 21 February, 2013, Hallison Re-debuted at VWE's house show, Experience™, portraying a new character, Lexi Love.

Personal life
In February 2007, Hallison met her then future husband Puma, who at the time, was an up and coming business entrepreneur in the process of planning out and developing his business, a brand that consisted of selling fashion products for IMVU and secondlife.The couple split temporarily later that year due to "work commitments" as Hallison started appearing as a judge on a virtual spin off of the Next top model series, which ran for two seasons and ended in January 08.

In mid 2008, the couple re-united and shortly after, wedded in a small and intimate ceremony. As the success of the Puma brand grew, their relationship heightened to media attention due to their on and off antics which left plenty of story coverage and rumours to be used. Hallison blamed the new lifestyle as a burden on the relationship and claimed it was harder to maintain from that point onwards.

In 2013, Hallison was involved in a scandal with her then former friend Kelly Hamilton, following alleged rumours that Hallison was romantically involved with the love interest of Hamilton, Joey Veriander. Hallison and Hamilton participated in a "Facebook war" equivalent to that of a "Twitter war" where they continuously posted indirect comments and images aimed at one another before it came to blows, in which they publicly argued through comments via a post Hallison had created. It was reported that the pair had also became involved in conflict after attending a party that Veriander had thrown, this time involving third party Maria Mannequin, who, at the time was also at a difficult stage in her relationship with Hamilton. Hallison and Hamilton have since resolved their differences and have stated that they are remaining friends.

 Divorce 

In 2010 following months of continuous alleged infidelity rumours, as well as heated and highly exposed arguments, Hallison filed for divorce citing "irreconcilable differences". It was later confirmed that Puma had been disloyal, however it is still uncertain whether or not it was during the marriage. Aside from this, Hallison has stated she had more than enough reasons to believe divorce was the right decision.

In the divorce petition Hallison, sought spousal support. The couple had a prenuptial agreement that was signed in June 2008, the month before their wedding. On April 19, 2010, Puma filed for divorce from Hallison on the grounds of "discord or conflict of personalities", thus establishing a legal battle over where the divorce case would be heard. Unlike Hallison's divorce petition, Puma's did not mention a prenuptial agreement and claimed that the parties would "enter into an agreement for the division of their estate". The divorce was finalized on January 28, 2011, the same day Hallison's lawyer filed papers to dismiss her Los Angeles petition. Hallison has stated that as well as the divorce, the overall separation and the aftermath was an "incredibly long and emotionally challenging procedure" and that it took the pair several years to cut all ties.

Hallison has since declined several re-uniting proposals from Puma.
