Cathy Kelley could have missed WWE Backlash PLE for movie filming purpose
Cathy Kelley’s presence on WWE programming remains a major highlight as she appears to be a charming persona while conducting an interview, be it happens backstage or as part of a panel before a Premium Live Event. Notably, she missed the first post-Wrestlemania 41 PLE, Backlash in St. Louis, and this movie-filming purpose could be the reason.
