OH NO!!! I can’t believe that I opened up Instagram and saw that she’s leaving the WWE. I truly believe that Kayla sat down and wrote her goodbye herself. The WWE PR department didn’t. You can feel her tears when she writes about Paul Heyman. She will miss him and everything he taught her. But Kayla, know that Heyman will also miss you. There aren’t too many out there who are like you and can take his wisdom within his teasings and jokes. I truly want to wish you good luck. You deserve whatever you are going after.

Thank you, Kayla, for everything you’ve done for the WWE Universe. Now I’m excited to say goodbye to you next week at Madison Square Garden. Hopefully, it’s your best show yet. Keep your head up so that you can always see where you are going, but not so far up that you don’t see us little people begging for your attention and YOUR wisdom. Don’t forget to pass it on. Good luck and God Bless.

Kayla Braxton Statement About Leaving WWE:

“After nearly 8 years holding the microphone on WWE television, I am setting it down to pursue my next chapter. Next week at the world’s most famous arena, I will be officially signing off.

“During my years with WWE, I was able to master the art of the backstage interview. I hope I was able to turn minutes into moments for you who watched week to week and maybe even ushered in a new fanbase. My banter with Paul Heyman became the stuff of legend, and I am so thankful for all he has done to elevate my career. I gained a wealth of knowledge from the Wise man and for that, I’ll be eternally grateful.

“In 2016, the legendary Michael Cole brought me in to begin my WWE career as a ring announcer with NXT, but I quickly found myself touring the globe, hosting hall of fame ceremonies, the kickoff shows, and helping launch WWE’s first weekly morning show, “The Bump.” I exited “The Bump” after more than 200 shows and a move to Los Angeles. Now on the West Coast, I have been offered new opportunities that will further utilize the skills I gained working for the largest sports entertainment company in the world.

I’m extremely thankful to Triple H, Nick Khan, WWE, and all of its partners for allowing me to be a trusted voice on WWE television for all these years. Thank you to every single person who made me feel like this was my home and that I was a part of this family. Thank you for taking a chance on me and welcoming this outsider with open arms. I hope I made you proud and I’d love it if you’d stay with me for this next chapter. I’m excited to reveal to all of you what I have coming up next!!!”
