• Latest WWE Departure Announced
Kelly Kincaid announced on X that her contract with WWE will officially expire on February 14, confirming that she is leaving the company. Here’s what she tweeted: “As of February 14th, I will no longer be under contract with WWE.”
Kincaid joined WWE in February 2022, initially serving as the ring announcer for NXT Level Up. Over her four-year run, she transitioned into one of the company’s primary backstage interviewers on the NXT brand, conducting interviews and presenting segments as part of the weekly production.
Before WWE, she competed on the independent scene and in Ring of Honor under the ring name Quinn McKay, where she captured the ECWA Women’s Championship during her in-ring career.
During her WWE tenure, Kincaid briefly stepped away for maternity leave in 2024, returning to television in March 2025 after welcoming her first child.
With her WWE contract set to end soon, Kincaid’s future plans have not been announced. Her prior experience as both an in-ring competitor and a broadcast personality leaves open the possibility of new opportunities in wrestling or related media.
• Top WWE Star Returning For WrestleMania 42 Match
After CM Punk defeated Bron Breakker to retain the World Heavyweight Championship on the January 5th edition of RAW, many fans expected Breakker to win the Men’s Royal Rumble match to earn a rematch against Punk for the World Title at WrestleMania 42.
However, a masked man attacked Breakker during his way to the ring during the Royal Rumble, hitting Bron with a Curb Stomp on the floor. After this, Oba Femi eliminated Breakker in just a few seconds.
According to the Wrestling Observer, the belief backstage in WWE is that Rollins will be ready for WrestleMania 42 and will return to face Breakker in a singles match.
Bron Breakker and Bronson Reed turned their backs on Rollins on the RAW after Crown Jewel 2025. They attacked Rollins, and The Visionary was kicked out of The Vision. This was done because Rollins suffered a legitimate shoulder injury during his match against Cody Rhodes.
