Kayla Becker said a Royal Rumble pay-per-view was the moment she realized she was "hooked" on pro wrestling, recalling goosebumps from attending early in her WWE tenure before joining the main roster.
The former WWE broadcaster told Fox News Digital she entered the company without ever watching wrestling, then stayed nearly 8 years after being recruited from local Orlando television.
Becker said ring announcing at Florida house shows was her toughest assignment because it required live memorization and timing, and she felt better suited to backstage interviewing and pre-show storytelling.
John Cena was one of her earliest mentors, Becker said, offering advice as she developed in WWE; she left the company 2 years ago and is now working with sports platform BZZR.
