Kaitlyn Expresses Openness to Potential WWE Return
The WWE Divas Era is experiencing a notable resurgence. With the returns of AJ Lee, Paige, and the Bella Twins, the landscape of the women’s division has seen a wave of nostalgia and high-profile comebacks. Now, former Divas Champion Celeste Bonin, better known to fans as Kaitlyn, has weighed in on whether she would join her peers in returning to the ring.
- Celeste Bonin (Kaitlyn) confirms she is open to a WWE comeback if the right opportunity arises.
- Bonin maintains a positive relationship with WWE, having visited backstage since her 2018 appearance.
- The former champion cited struggles with confidence and depression as the primary reasons for her original departure.
“My Answer is Always Yes”: The Prospect of a Comeback
Speaking on her YouTube channel, Bonin addressed the recurring question regarding her future in professional wrestling. For years, fans and interviewers have questioned if she ever intends to return to the squared circle.
“In every interview I’ve done over all of the years since leaving WWE, that’s always a question, you know, ‘Are you going to make a comeback? Are you ever going to get back in the ring?’ And my answer is always yes!” Bonin stated, noting that she would return if the opportunity was right.
Lasting Connections and the Mae Young Classic
Bonin’s connection to the company has remained intact long after her full-time tenure ended. She has frequently visited WWE backstage since her 2018 appearance during the second Mae Young Classic tournament.
One of the highlights of her recent history with the promotion was her second-round match against Mia Yim, who currently performs as Michin. Bonin described the encounter as one of her favorite matches of all time. Her admiration for Yim’s skill and personality further fuels her interest in a potential return, stating, “I’m such a fan of [Yim], like, as a person and a wrestler… So yeah, maybe potentially a comeback.”
Understanding the Departure: Mental Health and Confidence
While her current outlook is positive, Bonin has been transparent about the difficulties that led to her exit from the company. In an interview with “The A2TheK Wrestling Show,” she revealed that the pressure of the spotlight took a significant toll on her well-being.
Despite the success of winning her first championship, Bonin struggled with her confidence, which eventually led to heavy bouts of depression. This mental health struggle impacted her physical condition, ultimately leading Bonin to request her release from the promotion.
Looking Ahead
As WWE continues to integrate legendary figures from the Divas Era into current storylines, the door remains open for Celeste Bonin. While no official plans have been announced, her willingness to return and her continued relationship with the organization suggest that a comeback is a distinct possibility should the creative timing align.
