Cathy Kelley Talks About What Led To Her WWE Return

Cathy Kelly departed WWE in February of 2020 and would eventually make her return to the company in April of 2023. In a recent interview with Ryan Satin on his Out Of Character podcast, Cathy spoke about what led to her coming back to WWE.

Kelley said, “I always had an open door with both Steph and Hunter, staying in contact the entire time. I think it started as me reaching out to Hunter as a happy birthday text. I was in Alaska with my mom at the time and he started talking about how he was fishing there years ago and how he remembers it fondly, but that turned into him asking me to have a conversation with Steph, which is something that he also asked me when I was leaving.”

Continuing on, Cathy said she had already made the decision. She said “I had my mind made up at the time, but I credit them to me coming back. I think that they’re incredible leaders. I loved working with him in NXT. Yeah, it felt like the right time and the right opportunity. Steph was really welcoming with listening to what I wanted to do, she offered if I wanted to learn how to do commentary, if I wanted a writer role, and this opportunity opened up right as we were having those conversations.”
