Former WWE Star Puts Return to Wrestling In Doubt

A former WWE personality says she might not return to wrestling.

In February 2026, former NXT backstage interviewer Kelly Kincaid announced her departure from WWE after her contract expired. She later revealed that the promotion didn’t give her an option to renew her deal. She also competed as Quinn McKay in ROH and other independent promotions before she joined WWE in 2022. However, she considers herself retired from in-ring competition.

Now, Kelly Kincaid has taken to X/Twitter to share an update on her future in pro wrestling. The former WWE personality noted that she doesn’t know if she’d return to the industry and that she’s gone back to playing roller derby again.

“I didn’t have an identity outside of work for eight years. I’ve never had more fun in my life than when I was Quinn McKay at Ring of Honor. I poured my heart and soul into her, and I like to think it showed. But it was an all consuming love, and I spent every waking moment figuring out how to build that character. WWE was another story. It’s a rewarding, but very demanding, job.

“Everything I thought I knew about my craft was dissected, analyzed, and turned around. It wasn’t better or worse than what was expected of me at ROH, it was just different. I loved all the moments I spent with you as Kelly Kincaid, even if it was incredibly different than what I would have chosen to give you. So I guess this is a very delayed thank you for spending those eight years with me,” the former WWE personality said.

The former WWE personality has gone back to her roots

“I don’t know if I’ll ever return to wrestling. As we’re told over and over again at the performance center, “it comes for us all”. And I’ve spent the last three months figuring out what that means for me, and how I exist outside that bubble. I had forgotten who I was while living inside different characters for so long.

“So I’ve gone back to my roots. I’ve started playing roller derby again. It’s given me my life back. I love my family. I love to riot. I love skating. I can see just the barest glimpse of who I used to be. If you’re in the Orlando area, come check out a game sometime. It’s like wrestling, but you know… on roller skates. And after four very long years, I’m stepping back into my own spotlight,” the former WWE NXT backstage interviewer said.
