Former WWE Divas Champion Celeste Bonin, best known to wrestling fans as Kaitlyn, has made it clear that a return to the ring is not something she is interested in pursuing. Speaking with Chris Van Vliet on the Insight Podcast, Bonin said plainly that she does not want to wrestle again, a statement that effectively rules out any future comeback for one of the Divas division’s most recognizable champions.
Bonin’s last match for WWE came in December 2019, and she has not stepped back into a wrestling ring since. Her comments to Van Vliet put to rest any lingering speculation among fans about whether she might ever lace up her boots for a one-off appearance or a nostalgia run, as has become common for several of her contemporaries from that era of the Divas division.
During the conversation, Bonin reflected on her time in WWE, which began when she was in her early twenties. She discussed the mental toll that competing and performing at that level took on her during those formative years in the company. According to the interview, she expressed hope that fans would not hold her decision against her, acknowledging the respect she still holds for the wrestling industry and the physical and emotional demands placed on performers who compete in the ring on a regular basis.
Bonin first signed with WWE and rose through the ranks of the Divas division before capturing the WWE Divas Championship, becoming one of the title’s more prominent holders during her run with the company. Her character and matches made her a familiar presence on WWE programming for several years before her departure and eventual return for a brief stint that concluded with her December 2019 match.
Her remarks to Van Vliet represent one of the most direct statements Bonin has made publicly about her wrestling future, moving past general retirement speculation and into an explicit personal declaration that the ring is not where she sees herself going forward. For a performer who once held one of WWE’s women’s championships, the comments close a chapter that fans have periodically wondered about since her last appearance.
No further details were provided in the interview regarding what Bonin currently has planned professionally, and neither Fightful nor F4W Online reported any additional comments from WWE regarding her status with the company.
