Kayla Braxton thanks WWE on last night with company

Kayla Braxton posted a message to social media thanking WWE and its fans on her last night with the company Friday.

In a message posted to X, Braxton wrote:

“I love my WWE family. Thank you guys so much. I’m overwhelmed. I will miss you all but we will see each other again.”

Braxton (Kaya Becker), announced last week that Friday’s SmackDown in Madison Square Garden would be her last WWE show as she leaves the company to pursue other ventures.

The on-air personality spent eight years with the company, beginning in NXT as a ring announcer, before settling into a role as a backstage interviewer and host on the main roster.

Braxton pointed out in a social media post on Monday that she does not plan to pursue work with any other wrestling company:

“The support from u guys has been overwhelming. I am so thankful for u. But I did wanna make 1 thing clear as I enter my final week in WWE: if I wanted to keep working in wrestling, I wouldn’t be walking away from the largest wrestling company in the world. Nice try, rumor weeds!“

Undisputed WWE Champion Cody Rhodes also called Braxton out for a curtain call at MSG Friday:
