Ex-WWE Star Kaitlyn Reveals Emotional Toll Behind Departure

Celeste Bonin, known to WWE fans as Kaitlyn, has opened up about the reasons behind her departure from the promotion approximately seven years ago. Despite having two years remaining on her contract, Bonin chose to leave WWE in 2014, citing significant emotional and mental struggles. She described folding under the pressure of show business, the adrenaline, and the demanding lifestyle of professional wrestling at the time. Bonin explained that she lacked the tools to process her experiences, which contributed to weight gain and a decline in her self-confidence. She stated, "I knew I couldn't sustain that... I had lost a lot of confidence in myself, and I didn't want to get released, so I left." After her exit, Kaitlyn pursued business ventures, including a clothing line. She made appearances in the 2018 Mae Young Classic and a RAW Reunion show in 2019. Currently, Kaitlyn reports being in excellent physical and mental condition and feels ready for a potential comeback to WWE, stating it makes a lot of sense for her at this point in her life.
