Ex-WWE Star Said Hell No To Commentary Role
One former WWE star has revealed that they were offered a commentary role by the company and explained why they refused to do it.
On June 22nd, Kayla Braxton announced she was leaving WWE after eight years with the company. During her time with WWE, Braxton had worked as a backstage interviewer on Smackdown, a host of the WWE PLE Kickoff shows as well as The Bump and Talking Smack.
Despite suggestions that the broadcaster had held talks with AEW, Kayla Braxton hit out at those rumours confirming she was walking away from the world of wrestling.
Kayla Braxton Wanted No Part Of WWE Commentary
Speaking to The Ring Generals, Kayla Braxton discussed her decision to walk away from WWE and revealed that the company offered her a role that she had absolutely no interest in:
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.
