Personal Life, Parents and Family Details :
Childhood :
- While Braxton’s college and professional careers have given her adult life a sense of stability, her childhood was anything but that.
- Braxton’s mother went through a string of physically and emotionally abusive relationships when Braxton was young, causing turmoil in the girl’s life until the age of 9 when her mother went to prison and she was forced into foster care.
- After a difficult transition, Braxton eventually wound up in a foster home that nurtured her vibrant personality and allowed her to learn how to express herself freely.
- That self-expression took the form of speeches, and she soon began to enter public-speaking competitions in an effort to tell her story and inspire other foster children not to give up hope.
Teenage Years :
- At age 17, Kayla’s competitions brought her all the way to the White House, where she presented in front of then-president George W. Bush.
- Determined to gain a larger audience and continue inspiring others, Braxton decided to go to college to get a job working with TV, which ultimately led her to work with WWE.
Education : Qualifications, High School & College Info
- Before beginning her WWE career, Braxton, known then as Kayla Becker, began to attend Belmont University in Nashville, Tennessee, in 2009.
- In 2013, she graduated with a Bachelor’s degree in Mass Communication and media studies, although she often just refers to her major as a broadcast journalism program.
- While in college, she created web content for three different shows: What’s Goin’ Down in Bruin Town, Nashville View, and The Kayla Becker Show.

- In 2016, Braxton left Orlando for Winter Park, Florida, and joined the team of WWE NXT as a ring announcer, interviewer, and a host for NXT segments and roadshows.
- NXT, similar to RAW and Smackdown, is a division of the larger WWE Network. While it’s original purpose was to serve as a developmental division where young stars could gain experience and work their way up the wrestling food chain, it has ultimately grown into its own distinct segment with a large, dedicated fan base.
- Braxton can often be found tracking down WWE superstars before and after shows to take interviews and report on the drama between wrestlers.
