In a recent interview with Chris Van Vliet as part of the INSIGHT With Chris Van Vliet podcast, former WWE on-air talent McKenzie Mitchell discussed several topics, including her WWE departure, her future plans in the business and more.

“I’m good, you know now that the dust has settled, it’s a blessing. I think that there is so many new beginnings and I’m excited to see what comes in the future, the outreach and the support that I’ve gotten from friends, family, co-workers, colleagues, production, executives in WWE, the fans most importantly, have just been, it’s insane.

That’s what made me emotional when I got released, was being able to hear from everyone how much I impacted their opinion when watching WWE and watching NXT, that’s what made me emotional, hearing from all of the people about their favorite moments in my career and the favorite interviews that I’ve done, the magic that was created on-screen, that made such a big impact on me to see what I made on them.

I think this is a way to say that there is a new beginning in everything, and just kind of, okay what’s next. Like I said, I have my jewelry business, so I’ve been putting all my efforts into that and my creativity there, it’s almost my full-time. My husband still works within the company obviously, so that’s really interesting that he’s still there, I’m not. I don’t know if people know, but we were the first couple on the announce table, like announcer and announcer that are married. I’m of course still supportive of WWE and NXT, and I still watch him and text him good luck before every show, my friends are still there, so I’m still supportive regardless.”
