Kelly Kelly is a former WWE Superstar, who was a fixture in the WWE Divas division form her debut in 2006 to her release in 2012. Her real name is Barbie Blank, which honestly is a much better wrestling name than Kelly Kelly.
Kelly Kelly started out in WWE in 2006, making her debut on the now defunct ECW brand. She became the youngest Diva in WWE history when she made her first appearance, age 19.
Her first character was an exhibitionist, who repeatedly performed “strip shows” live on ECW. However, these were always interrupted by her on-screen boyfriend, Mike Knox, or “Mr Quater-Past-Ten”.
This weekly interruption was part of a segment called “Kelly’s Expose”. After various feuds and leaving Knox, she joined in a stable called “Extreme Expose” with Layla and Brooke. They never wrestled and instead performance dance segments, but after a few weeks Brooke was released and the group disbanded.
She was eventually drafted to Raw, where she won the WWE Diva’s Championship in 2011, beating Brie Bella. She even helped Edge defend his World Heavyweight Championship. In a Handicap match, Edge and Kelly defeated LayCool (Layla and Michelle McCool) and Dolph Ziggler to retain Edge’s World Heavyweight Championship, although Kelly was fired after the match.
