Kayla Braxton Reveals Why She Parted Ways with WWE

Kayla Braxton had been part of the WWE family since 2016, but her run with the company came to an end after the June 28th edition of Friday Night SmackDown. In light of her exit, Braxton has now revealed that she was still under contract with WWE.

Cody Rhodes even brought Kayla Braxton out after Friday Night SmackDown for an emotional farewell back in June, thus capping off an incredible career that lasted 8 years in the company. With her departure from the company, Braxton is now free to pursue new opportunities and explore her career outside of WWE.

While speaking on the Nikki & Brie Show, Kayla Braxton revealed that she was under contract when she left WWE. She explained that after eight years, she felt she had achieved everything she could at the company.

The demanding WWE schedule made it difficult to pursue other opportunities, and she noticed that she wasn’t doing much in her former role. Kayla decided to leave amicably, even though she wasn’t sure what her next move would be, feeling it was simply the right time to step away.

“I was under contract. Announcers, we operate very differently. I just realized, within myself, after eight years; I’ve done everything I can do here. You know how the schedule is at WWE. It’s very hard to (accomplish) anything else you want to do. I just felt like I was starting to miss out on opportunities outside of the company. I wasn’t doing much anymore at my former position. I just had to make the decision, not knowing necessarily what I was about to do in that moment, but I had to walk away. It was all amicable, I just knew it was time for me to peace out.”

We have also reported that WWE has left the door open for Braxton to return to the company one day. Nia Jax also expressed happiness over Kayla Braxton leaving WWE. Regardless, we’ll have to wait and see what’s next in store for Braxton, as fans only want what’s best for her now.
