![Kayla Braxton Kayla Braxton](/f/styles/wwe_large/public/all/2023/07/SD_06092023EJ_27012-1--e7575e741e46847c86c9b87104ae8012.jpg)
From mediating locker-room showdowns between hulking Superstars to securing exclusive backstage interviews, Kayla Braxton mastered a variety of roles since joining the SmackDown broadcast team.
A graduate of Belmont University’s broadcast journalism program, Braxton came to sports-entertainment from the world of television news, having hosted her own entertainment segment on WESH 2 News in Orlando, Fla. Yet, addressing huge audiences is far from a recent development for Braxton: As a teenager, she participated in public-speaking competitions, and at the tender age of 17, Braxton even spoke in front of President George W. Bush at the White House.
As a member of the blue brand and the host of WWE's The Bump, Braxton was charged with getting backstage scoops and asking the tough questions, a demanding task she handled with aplomb on behalf of the passionate WWE Universe.
