The WWE Divas Era has interestingly made a resurgence across the past year with the likes of AJ Lee, Brie Bella, and Paige all joining Nikki Bella in WWE. During an episode of her vlog, Celeste Bonin — better known as Kaitlyn — shared whether she’d be open to doing the same.
“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!” she expressed, adding that if the opportunity was right she would return.
Bonin added that she’s often visited WWE backstage over the years since her 2018 appearance in the promotion, which took place during the second Mae Young Classic tournament. In the second round, Bonin wrestled Mia Yim (currently known as Michin), and Bonin describes it as one of her favorite matches ever.
“I’m such a fan of [Yim], like, as a person and a wrestler,” Bonin claimed. “So yeah, maybe potentially a comeback.”
Bonin has previously spoken about her departure from WWE. During an interview with “The A2TheK Wrestling Show,” Bonin claimed that she struggled with her confidence even after winning her first championship, leading to heavy bouts of depression. Because of this, her physique also suffered, leading Bonin to ask for her release.

A two-time NCAA Division One All-American, Weidman had a total of 20 fights in the UFC spanning 13 years. After amassing an MMA record of 9-0, his tenth win would be his most famous as he was the man to end Anderson Silva’s seven-year reign as UFC Middleweight Champion in what is one of the biggest upsets in MMA history. Their rematch would be as memorable for more gruesome reasons as Silva would break his leg in the second round. From there, Weidman would defend the belt against Lyoto Machida and Vitor Belfort before losing it to Luke Rockhold in December 2015.
Following the loss to Rockhold, Weidman would be one of the public faces of the UFC when MMA was finally legalized in the state of New York (where Weidman is from), and would get to fight on the first Madison Square Garden card in November 2016. However, he would go on to lose on that night against Yoel Romero. In a cruel moment that mirrored his second fight with Silva, Weidman would break his own leg in 2021 against Uriah Hall and would miss two years of action, and upon his return, he would fight just three more times before retiring from the UFC in January 2025. With that said, Weidman is getting back to his wrestling roots as he was recently announced to be facing Colby Covington at Real American Freestyle’s RAF 09 event on May 30.
