WWE Officially Parts Ways With NXT Star Kelly Kincaid
Kelly Kincaid, a familiar face on WWE NXT, has officially exited the company, marking the end of her contract as of February 14. Known for her work as a backstage interviewer and ring announcer, Kincaid, whose real name is Kelly Verbil, had become a recognizable presence on NXT programming, even though she never stepped into the ring as a competitor.
Her departure follows the natural expiration of her contract and reports indicate that WWE did not offer her an opportunity to renegotiate. Kincaid made her final on-screen appearance on the February 10 edition of NXT, where she conducted an interview with Sean Legacy, setting up an upcoming match against Keanu Carver. With her profile now moved to WWE’s alumni section, her exit is official and signals a closing chapter in her time with the organization.

For fans who followed her journey, this moment highlights a transition that’s common in professional wrestling, where on-screen talent often shifts between active rosters, developmental programs and alumni status. Kincaid’s career began on the independent circuit and in Ring of Honor, performing under the persona Quinn McKay, before she found her role in WWE. Her contributions behind the scenes helped shape NXT’s storytelling, adding context and personality to the matches and segments she hosted.
While she didn’t compete as a wrestler in WWE, Kincaid’s presence was a stabilizing one, guiding interviews and connecting performers to the audience. Her departure leaves a gap in NXT’s broadcast team and it will be interesting to see how WWE replaces or repositions those responsibilities moving forward. For Kincaid, this opens a door to explore new opportunities, whether returning to the independent scene, pursuing on-camera roles elsewhere, or even exploring a competitive wrestling career.
This news also reminds fans and industry observers that WWE’s roster moves are not only about the stars in the ring, but also about the supporting roles that contribute to the overall product. Every departure or transition can have ripple effects, shaping storylines, character development and broadcast dynamics. Kincaid’s exit, though quieter than a championship shake-up, is nonetheless a meaningful change within the NXT ecosystem.
