Kayla Becker (Kayla Braxton) praises Paul Heyman, and he responds.

Becker wrapped up with WWE following the June 28th episode of WWE SmackDown. During her time with the company, she was featured on WWE programming as an interviewer, and she was featured in many segments with Paul Heyman.

In an interview with Denise Salcedo for Instinct Culture, Becker commented on working with Heyman and called him one of the most brilliant minds in wrestling.

“One of the most, if not the most, brilliant mind in wrestling. Paul’s been around for forever, for many different leaderships and eras of wrestling. [Our relationship] really happened very organically back during the ThunderDome era, during the pandemic, when they put us together on Talking Smack. So when we had the panel show, I didn’t really know Paul. I hadn’t worked with Paul that much at the time. I just knew that this really big, loud man was on my kickoff show all of a sudden taking up all my airtime, and I was getting really frustrated with him, but then the more I got to work with him — I would not have become the broadcaster I had become if it weren’t for Paul Heyman. From there, we’d create little mini storylines on the panel, which a lot of times, Talking Smack, things that would happen on there, even that Renee Paquette, then Renee Young, Daniel Bryan, things would end up on TV and storylines. So that’s kind of what inched our way into this whole Bloodline feud that I had. There were a lot of times we’d be going live, I’d be handed a script of what to say in my interview, and Paul’s like, ‘You don’t need that.’  I’m like, ‘Yo, we’re going live,’ and I don’t know if I can just tell them in the truck, ‘Hey, I’m not saying that, but we would just go off the cuff,’ and anything Paul touched turned to gold. So, yeah, it was really fun. That’s also something that’s really special, and that not a lot of people can say, is that they got to work that closely with the ‘Wise Man,'” Becker said.

Heyman then responded to Becker’s comments in a post on Twitter/X. He thanked her and noted that he appreciated how her “sapiosexual lust” for him was still on full display.
