More has come to light about the situation regarding Kayla Braxton as the WWE broadcaster's tenure with the company prepares to come to an end.
Earlier this month, Braxton removed references to WWE from her social media usernames, leading to speculation that her time with the company was ending. This week, Braxton confirmed as much by revealing that an upcoming event in Madison Square Garden will be her last show for WWE.
Braxton is still with WWE, Fightful Select reports, and she is working under a verbal agreement with the company. That is because her official deal with the promotion has already expired but the two sides didn't want to end things just yet.
Braxton, real name Kayla Becker, and WWE have been in discussions, but it is unclear what came of them. Given that Braxton has publicly confirmed her impending exit, it is apparent that these talks have not resulted in a new deal.
Braxton has not disclosed any specifics about what's next, instead stating that she is ready to pursue her next "chapter." Given her success in WWE, many assume that AEW will be making a play for her but if so, that'll only be when the time is right. AEW was made aware of her contract situation weeks ago, it's unclear if that was due to direct communication between Braxton/ an agent, or AEW. Tony Khan has made clear several times in the past that he aims to avoid negotiating with under-contract talent.
Braxton signed with WWE in 2016 and honed her skills in various roles across Raw, SmackDown, and WWE NXT. While her time with the company is ending, fans can expect to see the talented broadcaster resurface in entertainment down the line.
