Slamforce Africa took place earlier today at the University of Pretoria in Pretoria, South Africa where former WWE Divas Champion Kaitlyn (aka Celeste Bonin) became the first Slamforce Africa Women’s Champion. This was the promotion’s first event, which streamed on FITE.

WWE just announced that Kaitlyn will make her WWE in-ring return at the 2018 Mae Young Classic.

WWE issued the following:

Former Divas Champion Kaitlyn will return to the squared circle to compete in the Mae Young Classic.

After more than four years away from WWE, former Divas Champion Kaitlyn will make her in-ring return this summer when she competes in the 2018 Mae Young Classic.

The news, which was first reported by ESPN, makes Kaitlyn the first official participant to be revealed for this year’s 32-woman tournament.

Rising to fame in 2010 when she won Season 3 of NXT, which was a competition series among WWE rookies at the time, Kaitlyn quickly became a staple of what is now known as the WWE Women’s division.

With an extensive background in bodybuilding and power lifting, Kaitlyn used her remarkable strength and explosiveness to conquer opponents. She reached the summit of the division in January 2013 when she defeated Eve to capture the Divas Championship in her hometown of Houston on the 20th Anniversary of Raw. Kaitlyn held the title for 153 days before losing it to one of her greatest rivals, AJ Lee.

Upon leaving WWE in early 2014, Kaitlyn set out to build her own business from the ground up. Today she stands as the CEO and founder of Celestial Bodiez, a women’s fitness apparel company. Since she was last seen on WWE TV, Kaitlyn has adorned the cover of Iron Man Magazine, and made a cameo on UpUpDownDown.

My thoughts of Celeste Bonin aka Kaitlyn leaving the WWE

Alright guys so here’s a very quick video of what I’m feeling at this very moment. There’s one thing I left out due to emotional reasons

But I’m gonna say it here and I just ask that you don’t tease but just take it for what it is. In July of last year I suffered my first heartbreak and I feel into a deep depression and started self harming. It was kaitlyn who helped me get through that.. (Well other then God) but just watching her on tv and YouTube pulled me out of my depression. I know it may sound silly but it’s the truth. So it’s from the bottom of my heart that I say thank you Celeste Bonin aka Kaitlyn
