Huge update on Kayla Braxton's potential AEW move after WWE departure - Reports

WWE backstage announcer Kayla Braxton recently announced her departure from the Stamford-based promotion. Many believe she is AEW bound and recent reports have provided an update on the matter.

Braxton has been an important part of the WWE for eight long years. She initially started in NXT and moved up to the main roster eventually. Kayla also hosts kick-off panels and used to host WWE's YouTube show, The Bump. She is reportedly set to have her final WWE appearance on next week's SmackDown.

In a recent report by Fightful Select, All Elite Wrestling was made aware of Braxton's contract expiration a few weeks before the news broke.

"We're told AEW had been made aware of her contract status a couple of weeks ago, but we aren't sure if that was due to direct communication between Becker/ an agent, or AEW," stated the report.

Kayla Braxton addressed leaving WWE Bump last year

Last year, it was announced that Kayla Braxton would be leaving WWE Bump and would be replaced by Megan Morant. The 33-year-old had hosted more than 200 episodes of The Bump and in an episode of the show late last year, Braxton officially confirmed that she would be handing over the show to Morant.

"Being in WWE now for nearly seven years, there has been a lot of growth, been a lot of change, all for the good. So I'm really excited, this will be my final day as the host of WWE's The Bump. I'm not leaving the show, I'm still going to be doing some cool content that will be rolling into the show every single week. But, in the meantime, I am very pleased to tell you that Megan Morant will be filling my spot," she said.

Kayla Braxton is set to leave WWE next week after SmackDown comes live from the Madison Square Garden. It will be interesting to see if she decides to head to All Elite Wrestling.
