Kayla Braxton may have been impressive for years as a WWE interviewer, but she believes she was not sufficiently cut out to be an announcer.
Braxton joined WWE in 2016 and had a stint as a ring announcer, though she would be moved into a different role shortly after.
On a recent edition of the “Insight” podcast, Braxton spoke about her brief tenure as a ring announcer and why it didn’t work out. She said,
“I give so much kudos to all of our ring announcers. But it wasn’t for me, but I told them, ‘I’ll be the best ring announcer I can possibly be for you as long as you want.’ But I made it very clear, I’m a journalist at heart, I want to be able to be that here. And host shows like I did The Bump for the last four years. And they were very open to that. And Michael Cole has been instrumental and getting me to where I wanted to be in WWE. And when the opportunity came up for The Bump, they came to me and asked me if I wanted to host it. And then that like revived my career here. That was like the coolest thing I could have ever done.”
