Cathy Kelley has announced she is wrapping up her WWE career this weekend.
Kelley took to Twitter to reveal that the NXT TakeOver: Portland show taking place on February 16 is in fact, her last day. Kelley has been with WWE since 2016, fulfilling a variety of roles for the company from backstage interviewer to hosting and had a big presence on WWE's social media platforms as a correspondent.
Below is her full statement:
I've typed out and deleted this about 20 times over the past few days, still unsure of what to write... I have come to the decision to leave WWE, Sunday's NXT TakeOver being my last day. If you know me, you know this was more than a job, you know how much I loved it and how difficult this decision was. But sometimes in order to have room for growth, you have to step away.
I am so thankful for getting to live out a crazy dream the past four years. Thank you to the WWE digital team for being a platform that never stifled creativity. Thank you to Stephanie McMahon for being a mentor and inspiration in every way. Thank you to Triple H for heading up the best wrestling show currently on TV and letting me be a part of it. And thank you to everyone who has supported me, whether it's watching a video I've done or sending a tweet of encouragement. Words cannot begin to express how much it means.
I'm not sure yet where my next chapter will take me, but I am damn excited for it. And I promise this isn't a goodbye, it's just a see you later. - CK
