WWE fans have seen several backstage interviewers over the years. Some of them manage to leave a mark as they perform in front of a live audience. Kayla Braxton is one such name. She recently graced the Insight Show by Chris Van Vliet. She mentioned about her time with the WWE Veteran, Paul Heyman, and how it helped her earn the moniker of a sassy interviewer.

In one of the clips from the Insight Show, Braxton can be seen talking about how she and Heyman were a part of Talking Smack. It was a talk show after SmackDown Live. It was there that she began understanding and taking help from Heyman.

He got me on camera to do those bits with him on SmackDown with the Bloodline and now I'm the sassy backstage interviewer. I'm told I can be a little sassy.

Fans have seen Heyman and Braxton engage in snippy banter as the former often insults the latter. However, as Braxton acknowledged, it was the spitfires that brought them closer to delivering the backstage segments that the Bloodline saga was memorable for. With Roman Reigns sparsely appearing on SmackDown, there have been fewer segments where fans got to witness them, in the recent memory.

People have made tonnes of compilations online about those "Hey, Paul, Hey, Paul". I don't even remember how the first one happened. A lot of times me and Paul just go, there's no talking about beforehand. We got a good reaction and fans loved it.

Braxton is someone with a tragic past. As such, the positivity and lessons from people like Heyman have meant a lot for the young media person. On the other side, the Wiseman Paul Heyman has been struggling in handling the business for the Tribal Chief. Lately, several rumors surfaced about how he might be reconsidering his loyalty around the Head of the Table after the return of CM Punk.
