On a recent edition of the “Insight” podcast, Kayla Braxton spoke about her career as a WWE announcer and how she started in public speaking. She said,
“In the South, if you know we have this thing called 4H and it’s like agriculture, sewing, whatever. We all were required to compete in one of these things and I saw public speaking on there. We had to give a speech and I noticed all the other kids had notecards. I was like I’m gonna memorize mine and I did and I won.
“I didn’t even tell my foster parents I was doing this because I didn’t want to disappoint them when I didn’t win. They were so proud of me and that was the first time an adult was proud of me. I was like, ‘Well, this is what I’m gonna do for the rest of my life.”
Braxton signed with WWE in 2016 and worked as a ring announcer and interviewer for WWE NXT. She was moved to the main roster in 2019.
