Kayla Becker (Kayla Braxton) Calls Triple H 'Brilliant' And Says WWE No Longer Looks 'Like It's From 1984'

Kayla Becker compares working under Vince McMahon to working under Triple H.

Kayla Becker, formerly known as Kayla Braxton, recently departed WWE in the summer of 2024, working her final date at Madison Square Garden, the original home venue of WWE. Having been with WWE for eight years, Braxton spent a lot of time working under Vince McMahon and learning his stringent way for backstage correspondents to present themselves. However, right before she departed WWE, she was able to work under Triple H and experience a new way of doing things.

Speaking with Denise Salcedo of Instinct Culture, Becker compared what it was like to work for both men, calling Triple H "brilliant" and commending his continued modernization of the product.

"It was very different working under Triple H," she began. "I'm so glad I got to work under him the way I did before I left because that was like he changed things for the best in so many ways. It was just a more pleasant place to come to work. People were just less stressed and high-strung, and you were having a lot of fun because he was having a lot of fun with us. But anytime there's change, and there's different management, it's not easy either because I had worked so long under Vince, and Vince was the person I had to go to for everything. So I learned to do things a very specific way. So all of that did really change.

"It was hard. I mean, as you know, the broadcast team kind of shifted around, and none of us really knew where we were supposed to be. I stopped doing the kickoff shows towards the end of my time in WWE," she continued. "So I think with a lot of that figuring it out and growing pains — Triple H is just a brilliant mind, and I have no doubts things are going to continue escalating in the best way, and modernizing the product, making it more something that people who may not know about WWE, now want to be a part of WWE because it doesn't look like it's from 1984."
