Cathy Kelley is excited to be back in WWE and sounds like she is very happy working under WWE's new leadership team.
Kelley first joined WWE in 2016 and worked for the company a backstage correspondent and host. After her release in 2020, she appeared on
She cited exhaustion from the hectic travel schedule and "restrictions" placed on her as the two primary reasons. She also left the door open for an eventual return.
A lot has changed since then, most notably Vince McMahon retiring from WWE in July 2022. McMahon spent 40 years running the organization he purchased from his father in 1982.
WWE's new executive team includes Stephanie McMahon serving as Chairwoman and co-CEO with Nick Khan, Paul "Triple H" Levesque as Chief Content Officer, Frank Riddick as President & Chief Financial Officer and Kevin Dunn as Executive Producer & Chief, Global Television Distribution.
What Brought Cathy Kelley Back to WWE?
Cathy Kelley recently appeared on
She kept in touch with Triple H and Stephanie McMahon during her time away from WWE. They knew about all the projects she was working on and made it clear that the door was always open for her to return. She sent Hunter a birthday text earlier this year, which led to her having a Zoom call with Stephanie and the rest is history.
Kelley says she always enjoyed working closely with Triple H & Stephanie. In light WWE's management shakeup, the 'restrictions' that hindered her first run were no longer an issue.
Working for them was very appealing. They’re both the epitome of what great leadership looks like. To get to work for them is great.
She was offered the chance to come back as a writer, a commentator or as a brand ambassador for WWE's community events. She jumped at the chance to be a backstage interviewing on Raw when that idea was presented.
Kelley is a talented performer and a valuable asset to WWE's broadcast team. Her sentiments about Triple H and Stephanie McMahon's leadership qualities have been echoed by countless others who have worked under them.
