Former WWE Star Turned Down Commentary Role WWE

Former WWE broadcaster Kayla Becker (fka Kayla Braxton) has revealed that she turned down a commentary role with the company several times.

On June 22, Kayla announced that she would be leaving WWE following the June 28 SmackDown taping at Madison Square Garden.

Speaking with The Ring Generals,  Becker noted that she had done everything she wanted to do with WWE.

Confirming that she was offered commentary roles “a few times”, Becker said:

“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.”

Kayla recently confirmed that she has been filming for an upcoming movie following her WWE departure.

Details on the movie which Kayla is set to appear in can be found right here.
