Kaitlyn made her WWE comeback for the second installment of the Mae Young Classic tournament, and she had the opportunity to have an important conversation with the veteran announcer.
Michael Cole apologized to her for his controversial work from many years ago when he was the leading commentator on the old talent-hunt edition of NXT.
Back then, Cole’s commentary wasn’t well-received by the talent as Kaitlyn felt that he was mean and undermined the work of female wrestlers in WWE. The veteran commentator was on a rare run as a heel announcer at the time and made several disparaging statements about WWE’s female performers.
Speaking on the aforementioned podcast, Kaitlyn added that she never held any personal grudges with the WWE Vice President of Announcing regarding this topic.
“It didn’t help our cause” - Kaitlyn on the negative impact of Michael Cole’s commentary on NXT Season 3
Kaitlyn explained that while Michael Cole’s questionable commentary work on NXT was funny and suited his on-screen character at the time, it also made the female talent feel worthless.
WWE was still in the Divas era when Kaitlyn started rising in the business, and she noted how Cole’s commentary takes didn’t help in changing fans’ perceptions of female performers.
Kaitlyn’s last WWE appearance happened in 2019 on the RAW Reunion episode. The former superstar is no longer an active competitor as she presently oversees multiple projects outside wrestling.
