Kaitlyn Says She’s Open to a WWE Return: ‘I’m at the Top of My Game’

Former WWE Superstar Kaitlyn is open to returning to the company for another stint. Kaitlyn was a part of WWE from 2010 to 2014, during which she had a memorable feud with AJ Lee. She is a one-time Divas Champion.

On TMZ’s Inside the Ring, Kaitlyn was asked if she has the itch to return to WWE now that some of her ex-colleagues like Paige, The Bella Twins, and AJ Lee have made a comeback.

The 39-year-old said she’s open to it, claiming she is currently at the top of her game and in the best shape of her life. The former WWE Superstar added that she is more confident in her skin compared to her previous stint and has a deeper understanding of the craft that is pro wrestling. Below are the highlights:

On Whether She Is Open to a WWE return

“Yeah, so it’s interesting. You know I’m 39. I’ll be 40 in a few months, and I’m at the top of my game. I’m in the best shape I’ve ever been in. My body feels great. I’m more confident in who I am, my voice, than even before, right? And so I’m open to it. I’m not like, ‘This is my number one goal to get back in the WWE ring,’ but I think that it would make sense.

“So, I’m open to it. And in the past, to be honest, when I would be asked in interviews, ‘Would you ever go back? Do you want to make a comeback?’ I would be like, you know, ‘Maybe!’ But there was always this trepidation internally because I felt like I hadn’t truly processed my WWE experience emotionally, mentally like I think there was this maturation that needed to happen within myself because when I was there again, like, I was brand new.”

On Her Previous Stint

“I debuted without ever having wrestled before, and so I was just like a deer in the headlights constantly, and I felt like I was just barely hanging on and anytime that I was on television or I had a big match. And so now I’m just such an evolved person versus who I was then, and I just have such a deeper understanding of what pro wrestling is and the artistry of it and the connection with the fans, and so I think it would make a lot of sense, and I feel like I would be great. I haven’t been in the ring in a while, but you know, some of the stuff comes back pretty easy. And I’m also just smarter with how I would wrestle and who I would be on the show.”
