Folks, we have a comeback story bigger than any WrestleMania moment! Kelly Kincaid, the ever-professional “WWE NXT” backstage interviewer, has made her triumphant return after taking some time off for a minor life event—giving birth to her first child. That’s right, while some superstars are busy winning championships, Kincaid was out here creating life. No big deal.
Kincaid and her partner, Pretty Deadly’s Elton Prince, welcomed their daughter, Poppy Faye Hawley, into the world last September. And just like any wrestling couple worth their salt, they wasted no time introducing her to social media, sharing an adorable first photo of the little future champ on Instagram.
Now, back in her rightful place as the voice of reason among NXT’s chaos, Kincaid was seen interviewing Tony D’Angelo ahead of his North American Championship match against Shawn Spears. In classic wrestling fashion, D’Angelo had family drama, a betrayal, and a title to fight for—basically, just another Tuesday night in NXT.
But the real star here? Kincaid, who made her return in style with a Mean Girls reference, captioning her backstage photo: “I’m not like a regular mom. I’m a cool mom. (We’re so back).” And let’s be honest, nothing says “I’m still hip” like quoting a 20-year-old movie.
The wrestling world welcomed her back with open arms, with Karmen Petrovic, Arianna Grace, and Tatum Paxley all dropping love in the comments. And let’s face it, balancing wrestling drama, backstage interviews, and motherhood? Kincaid might just be the most hardcore NXT personality of them all.
Welcome back, Kelly! Now, let’s see if Poppy Faye’s first words end up being “And NEW!”
