How sports journalist and podcaster Kayla Becker is monetizing her expertise

You might know her as Kayla Braxton from her years as a backstage interviewer in WWE, but on Passes, she’s showing a whole new side: her humor, her personality, behind-the-scenes moments, and the parts of her life she doesn’t share anywhere else. As a sports journalist and podcaster, Kayla knows how to connect with her audience, and she’s bringing all of that energy straight to her community here.

What’s something you believed as a kid that still makes you laugh?

My brother told me my eyes were so dark, it meant I was possessed by the devil. I fully believed him, got so upset, my mom had to pick me up from school, and he got in serious trouble. I turned out fine.

What’s been living rent-free in your mind lately?

The “Tell Me Lies” finale. I fear it always will.

What’s the most chaotic thing that happened to you in 2026 so far?

After a year and half of no work, I booked two movies, landed a new on-air broadcasting job, and somehow ended up dancing on stage with 50 Cent. Life has range.

What’s one thing about being a Passes creator that you didn’t expect when you started?

How freeing it feels. I don’t overthink as much — I just show up as myself.

What’s a behind-the-scenes moment from creating content that your subscribers would be surprised by?

I get really nervous taking photos. I never know how to pose and immediately feel awkward. Slowly getting better though.

If you could give your past self (right before joining Passes) one piece of advice, what would it be?

Just start and stop worrying about everyone else’s opinions so much.

What’s something you’ve learned from your Passes community that changed how you create?

They don’t need perfection — they just want to feel connected to you.

What’s your go-to karaoke song (even if you’ve never done karaoke)?

“Brand New Key” by Melanie or “Can’t Help Falling in Love” by Elvis, depending on the mood and confidence level.
