Kayla Braxton Returning Soon, Update On John Cena’s Retirement Tour
Former WWE personality Kayla Braxton has announced that she’s back on the job market.
Braxton, whose real name is Kayla Becker, took to social media on Tuesday to share that she’s seeking new on-air opportunities in sports, entertainment, and lifestyle. She departed WWE in June 2024, stating at the time that she felt she had accomplished everything she set out to do with the company.
Becker wrote,
“On the mic and back on the market.
Not new to this — but newly available.
If you’re looking for someone with range, timing, and a rent payment looming… let’s make something great (and billable).”
