Recently departed WWE star shares emotional update

A popular WWE star recently parted ways with the Stamford-based company. The name in question, Kayla Braxton, shared an emotional message on social media, thanking the wrestling promotion and its employees.

The backstage interviewer was among the most famous non-wrestling personalities in WWE. She recently made her final appearance two weeks ago on SmackDown in Madison Square Garden. Braxton was a part of the company for over seven years, having signed a contract in October 2016.

Kayla Braxton recently took to Instagram to share an emotional update. She shared a screenshot of her own post from January 30 to reflect on how much she has grown over the past six months.

"On Jan. 30 of this year, I posted a picture on my feed that said, 'dear me in 6 months, I’m gonna make you so freaking proud.' At that moment, I had no idea why or what would be happening in a half year, but looking at my calendar and seeing that the day I walked away from my stable job and started betting on myself was nearly six months later to the date is pretty darn cool," she wrote.

Kayla Braxton also shared a small clip from her farewell video posted by WWE on social media last week as she thanked people backstage for their constant support. She also asked the fans to watch the entire farewell video on YouTube.

"Still so thankful to the people in and out of WWE who have rallied behind me. Even the ones in this video😂 If you haven’t already, check out the full farewell on YouTube."
