Kaitlyn isn’t against a return to the ring.
Celeste Bonin, a woman who spent the early 2010s as part of WWE’s Divas roster, said in a recent interview that she isn’t against giving wrestling another try.
Bonin signed with WWE in 2010 and was immediately thrown into the spotlight. While training at Florida Championship Wrestling, Kaitlyn appeared on Season 3 of NXT, back when the brand was a live faux-competition series.
She would continue to wrestle with WWE until 2014, a run which saw her carry the Divas Championship for 153 days at one point. Bonin would later return for a brief campaign from 2018 to 2019, appearing in WWE’s Mae Young Classic tournament and making a few independent wrestling appearances.
Over half a decade removed from her last match, Bonin believes she’s in better form than ever before to make an in-ring return.
“I’m 39, I’ll be 40 in a few months, and I’m at the top of my game,” Bonin told TMZ’s Inside the Ring. “I’m in the best shape I’ve ever been in, my body feels great. I’m more confident in who I am, my voice, than ever before. I’m open to it. It’s not like this is my number one goal, to get back in the WWE ring. But, I think that it would make sense.”
Bonin explained that it was hard for her to imagine a return to the ring until she fully understood her previous time with WWE, which she said took some time.
“I hadn’t truly processed my WWE experience,” she said. “Like, emotionally, mentally. I think there was this maturation that needed to happen within myself, because when I was there, I was brand new. I debuted without ever having wrestled before, so I was just like a deer in the headlights constantly. I felt like I was just barely hanging on anytime that I was on television or I had a big match. So now, I’m such an evolved person versus who I was then, and I just have a deeper understanding of what pro wrestling is.”
