Kelly Kelly Talks Leaving the WWE, the Possibility of Returning

Former Divas Champion Kelly Kelly recently spoke to Wrestling101.com about her WWE career and if a return is in her future.

Was she a wrestling fan growing up?: “Yeah I was always a big fan of Trish Stratus‘s stuff, Lita was an awesome performer and a great person, I always liked their work together and I really admired the pair of them.”

Her WWE debut: “It was very nerve wracking, I had only been signed for about a month and I was very new and I didn’t know anything. My first day on television I was so nervous and I was doing the expose thing on ECW, it was just very nerve wracking, the only thing I remember is thinking thank god it’s over after I was done.”

Wrestling and winning the Divas Title: “It was good, I was very happy when I was able to start competing in the ring and wrestling the other girls and going after the belt. I always loved wrestling Beth Phoenix, the match we had at SummerSlam when I had the belt, wrestling her was great, we had an amazing match. My mum was in the front row along with my boyfriend, it was just a really great occasion at the Staples Centre and it is always really cool to wrestle there with all the celebrities in attendance.”

The second “Kelly” in her name: “That was down to Vince McMahon, I never really knew why, he told me there was this television show and there was this song on the show and it was Kelly Kelly, and I was like okay, I wasn’t going to argue with the boss.”

Why did she leave the WWE?: “I just felt that it was my time, I had been there for seven years and I knew I only wanted to do it for so many years. I just wanted to pursue other things, I didn’t leave on a bad note, everything was fine, they knew I was ready to do other things and I wanted to spend more time at home with my boyfriend as well. He was on the road a lot as well as myself, so it was nice to settle down, I had grown up in front of everyone for seven years, I was a baby to 25-years-old.”

Working on indy shows: “I’ve never wrestled on any of the indy shows, I’ve just announced, but the shows are cool and it is always great to meet the fans and be able to interact and talk to them.”

Would she return to the WWE?: “I don’t know to be honest with you, I’m doing some acting at the moment and I’m filming a movie right now. I’m really excited to be on a new adventure but you never know, I’m only 26-years-old so who knows what is going to happen in the future.”
