Kaitlyn reveals why Michael Cole apologized to her

The former WWE Divas Champion went on to say that when she returned to WWE for the 2018 Mae Young Classic, she had received an apology from head WWE announcer Michael Cole. She further explained the reason and it was due to the way he had commentated when Kaitlyn appeared on the original run on NXT, years ago.  The Rock ‘Removed’ From WrestleMania 38

Here is what she had to say:

“When I went back to the Mae Young Classic in 2018, I had the opportunity to sit down with Michael Cole,” Kaitlyn said. “I think he might have felt a little bad, because he was the main commentator on NXT, and he was so mean to us. As a commentator you have so much ability to shift people’s perspectives and mindset, and he just s**t on us like so much. It was funny but it also made us feel like s**t and other people s**t on us because of it. And it just added more to the concept of like, people used to refer to the divas matches as bathroom breaks, and so it didn’t help our cause.

“There was nothing to elevate the women for a long time. And I know he was just doing his job and making his name. So I had the opportunity to sit down with him, Beth (Phoenix) and Renee (Young) because they did the commentary for the Mae Young Classic in 2018. It was cool to sit down with the three of them, and Michael Cole apologized about that time. And I was like ‘I totally get it.’ It wasn’t personal obviously. It was cool to have that moment that we all kinda came back after however many years.”
