One big thing: Kayla Braxton says her time in wrestling is “done”

Former WWE personality Kayla Braxton has indicated that she doesn’t plan to return to the wrestling industry. In a recent interview on “Insight with Chris Van Vliet,” Braxton stated:

• “Yeah, I think so… I mean, there’s always the possibility that maybe I pop back in for a fun cameo or something down the road. But yeah, I think my time is done.”

• Braxton revealed she had been considering leaving WWE “for a while” before her departure.

• She noted that WWE was supportive of her decision, describing the parting as “amicable” with the door for a return “always open.”

Why it matters

Braxton’s departure represents a significant loss for WWE’s broadcast team. Her decision to move on highlights the evolving landscape of wrestling media and the career paths available to on-screen personalities beyond the ring.

By the numbers

• Braxton worked with WWE for approximately 7 years.
• She co-hosted “The Bump” and hosted “Talking Smack” and “SmackDown LowDown.”

What’s next

Braxton, whose real name is Kayla Becker, is transitioning to acting:

• She recently completed filming her first movie role in “Stranglehold.”
• This move aligns with her relocation to Los Angeles and search for her “next phase of life” career-wise.

The bottom line

While Braxton’s full-time wrestling career appears to be over, her positive relationship with WWE leaves the door open for potential cameo appearances in the future.
