Kaitlyn Says WWE Backstage Pressure Was Harder Than Wrestling On TV

TLDR

Former WWE Divas Champion Kaitlyn revealed in an interview with TMZ's Inside the Ring that dealing with backstage pressure was more difficult than performing in front of thousands of fans during her WWE run. Kaitlyn explained that NXT women were initially not allowed in the main women's locker room and some top women were unwelcoming when she transitioned to the main roster, though she praised Beth Phoenix, Eve Torres, and Natalya for being supportive mentors. She said the emotional pressure backstage contributed to weight gain during her final WWE period, reaching 170 pounds by the time she requested her release.
