One of the popular names in WWE was former SmackDown backstage interviewer Kayla Braxton. She recently parted ways with the company. Recently, Braxton reflected on her time in the Stamford-based promotion.
While speaking to The Ring Generals, Kayla Braxton mentioned that parting with the company was not an easy decision despite thinking about it for a while. Braxton also mentioned that WWE asked her if she wanted to do commentary and she refused the new role.
“It wasn’t an easy decision but it was something that I was thinking about for a long time. It’s no secret that I didn’t come from the wrestling world, I was introduced to it and I’m so glad I was, I came to love it and it will be one of the best parts of my entire life. I think I just didn’t have that same connection as others who’ve dreamt of being here their entire lives. I recognize that I have done everything, I didn’t want to be on commentary. They asked me a few times if I wanted to do commentary and I said, ‘Hell no.’ [laughs] I don’t know how they do that.” [H/T Fightful.com]
Kayla Braxton on why she left The Bump
Kayla Braxton revealed that she decided to step away from The Bump as she felt it was a better fit for Megan Morant.
“Even when I left The Bump, I did that for a couple of reasons. One, I moved to LA, and they wanted me to stay on, they put a studio in my apartment. But, there was another girl, Megan Morant, who came into WWE. I saw so much potential and promise in her, I started training her and having her come into The Bump as a co-host. I was like, this needs to be your show. You’ve done the work, you love it.
“I felt like if I stayed on that show, I’m doing a disservice to her and that whole department by not letting — you know how WWE is, there is not a lot of turnover in certain positions. They would let me be there until I’m 55 probably, but then that’s not doing a favor for anybody. I’m just taking a step back and going, I wanna move on and do bigger things in my life, I want other people to do the same thing,” Kayla Braxton said. [H/T Fightful.com]
