Kaitlyn recently looked back at her last appearance in WWE for the Mae Young Classic, where she faced a then-unsigned Mia Yim. Kaitlyn was last in WWE back in 2018, when she made a quick return to compete in the Mae Young Classic where she made it to the second round and lost to Mia Yim.
Kaitlyn reflected on the matter in her appearance on Recap Rewind Relive when asked if she was open to a Royal Rumble appearance. She said she was and recalled how her 2018 experience was a very positive one. You can see highlights below:
On a Potential Royal Rumble Appearance:
“I’m totally open to it. I totally am, and I’ve been open to it in the past, for a while. So I left in 2014, and then in 2018 I came back to do the Mae Young Classic, which was a great experience. That was the first time I got to experience… the Performance Center. It was the first time I got to experience that. And I was like, ‘This is amazing.’ Like the gym there, the trainers, all the rings, it was so state-of-the-art. And I
was like, ‘Wow.'”
On Facing Mia Yim in Mae Young Classic:
“I got to experience that and then Full Sail, and I had two matches. My first one was kind of like a — the woman I was wrestling was very new. We had a good match, but then my second match was with Mia Yam. And her and I had such a sick match. I love her. I loved her — because I when I left wrestling, I launched Celestial, it was a women’s athletic wear. She was repping my stuff and tagging me, and like supporting me for years. And so that was my first time meeting her in person.
“And then I got to wrestle her, and she’s so good… So I tapped out to her, and Triple H came out on the Full Sail stage and offered her a contract. Like she didn’t have a contract at that point, she was still an indie wrestler. That was real, that was a shoot. And so I was so pleased. Like, that was like icing on the cake.”
