A former WWE star has revealed the real reason behind her departure from the Stamford-based company. The name in question is Kayla Braxton.
The backstage interviewer inked a deal with the global juggernaut in October 2016 and went on to become one of the most famous non-wrestling personalities in the wrestling promotion. Braxton made her final WWE appearance on the June 28 edition of Friday Night SmackDown at the Madison Square Garden.
During her appearance on a recent episode of the Nikki & Brie Show, Kayla Braxton opened up about her decision to leave the company. The 33-year-old mentioned she felt like she was missing out on opportunities outside WWE. Braxton added she knew it was the right time to bid farewell despite her not knowing what she wanted to do:

"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," she said.
