Former WWE superstar and "WAGS" star Barbie Blank, more famously known as Kelly Kelly, is returning to WWE as part of WrestleMania 33 weekend. There are rumors stating that she might also be signing a full-time deal but will she wrestle?
In an appearance on Conversations with Maria Menounos, Kelly Kelly revealed that she's in talks to return to the WWE. She also noted that she is very interested in possibly working as a full-time superstar despite her success as a reality television star.
"I would come back for like a run, ya' know, a mini-run or something. I don't know if I'm gonna be wrestling, per se, but I will be at Mania. I will be at Mania, I will be at Hall of Fame and I'm gonna do some Axxess signings," Kelly said.
According to Ringside News, the WWE is trying to sign former female talents for an angle at WrestleMania 33. Besides Kelly, former women's champion Victoria also teased a possible return to the WWE through her SnapChat account.
There were reports stating that the WWE still wants to give the Emmalina character to someone more willing to invest time to make it better. It is believed that Kelly has agreed to sign a multi-year deal with the WWE and she will get the role of the Emmalina character, per Sportskeeda.
Kelly can certainly pull off the Emmalina gimmick and the schedule of the WWE is not as rigorous as it was several years ago. The 30-year-old superstar started her career as a model before getting signed with the WWE in 2006.
The one-time WWE Divas champion made her debut in 2006 at the age of 19 years old as a stripper. She spent the first two years as a valet for several superstars like Mike Knox, CM Punk, Balls Mahoney and other ECW stars.
Despite her very awful but entertaining gimmick, she went on to become a decent wrestler after years of training. She went on to win the WWE Divas championship in 2011 and she held the title for four months.
Kelly was released a year later to recover from a neck injury. In 2015, she was cast as one of the members of "WAGS" since she is the wife of former NHL player Sheldon Souray.
