A day after announcing that next Saturday would be her final day in WWE, NXT backstage interviewer Kelly Kincaid revealed that it wasn’t her call to leave.

As she announced Friday, Kincaid’s contract is set to expire on February 14 and in responding to a fan asking if it was her choice not to renew, she replied, “I wasn’t given the option.”

The 34-year-old first debuted on NXT Level Up in February 2022 after previously working for Ring of Honor in 2019 as a commentator and interviewer. She also has competed in the ring as Quinn McKay, both for ROH and on the indies, with her last match taking place in December 2021. She’s had 20 matches in her career, according to Cagematch.

Kincaid and injured WWE wrestler Elton Prince welcomed the birth of their first child on September 20, 2024. Prince has been out of action since May 2025 and underwent neck surgery last month.
