Kayla Braxton entertained wrestling fans for years as part of WWE’s broadcast crew, but her time in the wrestling business has come to an end. On the Insight podcast, Braxton was asked if her time in wrestling is up now that she’s no longer part of WWE.
“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 noted that when a woman leaves WWE, fan speculation immediately turns towards AEW or a future on Only Fans, but she is pursuing neither. While news of Braxton’s departure only broke in June, it had been something she’d been mulling over for some time.
“I think it’s something I’ve been kind of contemplating for a while. I think once I stepped down from The Bump, I moved to Los Angeles, it was very clear I was kind of trying to find what my next phase of life was going to be, career-wise.”
Braxton praised WWE for being supportive of her plans and described her exit as “amicable.” While she doesn’t have any plans currently for a full-time return, she acknowledged that the “door is always open” which she said was “very nice to hear.”
What’s Next?
With Braxton’s time in wrestling over (at least for the time being,) the 33-year-old is now focusing on making a name in acting. Last month, Braxton, now working under her real name Kayla Becker, wrapped her scenes in a new film titled Stranglehold.
On the podcast, Kayla was coy about plot details but shared it’s based in a strip club before making it very clear that she does not strip. Braxton’s character of Crystal will be joined by some notable names in acting including Ashley Benson (Pretty Little Liars,) Ron Perlman (Hellboy,) and Justin Long (Tusk.)
