Kelly Kelly was recently interviewed by Chris Van Vliet. During the interview, she discussed the moment she knew that her WWE career was over, whether she’d return to the company and more. Here are the highlights:
On Her Story With Randy Orton Getting Dropped:
They wanted to do this storyline, I think it had to do with Kane too. I don’t know, it lasted for two weeks… I remember we had this script one night and he was going to say all these mean things [like] ‘I used you and you were nothing to me and blah blah blah.’ I think maybe they were going to debut a guy and have him come save me. I don’t know but they nixed the whole thing.
On Working With Edge In A Storyline:
That along with winning the [Divas] Championship was one of my favorite matches because there’s all this pressure on it. There was so many different things that were happening … Before we went out – I love Layla and Michelle and I told them to kick the living sh*t out of me. When I get fired, I’m going to have to cry and I so I want to be able to hold off these feelings inside and the second she says it I want it to be like [Barbie makes a crying sound]. They gave me all they could but it was great. I wanted it that way.
On When She Knew Her Time In WWE Was Coming To An End:
For me, I had never been hurt. I had never really been out, [I had] never taken time off. From 19 until 26 years old, for 7 years basically, I was on the road straight 300 days a year. I was tired, my body was tired. Your heart has to be in it, you have to go out there and give it your all and the fans can feel if you’re not into it. It just got to a point where you’re just dreading having to get on the plane. I just wanted some time off at that point. They were very supportive of it. They said to take as much time off as you need so I took a few months off. I kind of wanted to come back but I wanted to come back part-time. Where we were at back then it was like ‘no, it’s either all or nothing kind of thing.’ They were like ‘the door is always open.’ We ended on good terms, there was no bad blood. It was just my time. I was just ready to be at home and put focus into my family. It wasn’t anything bad that happened.
On If She’d Return To WWE:
I don’t think I can do it full-time because it’s a lot. You’re on the road 300 days a year. It gets to be a lot. I would definitely come back for a run or two. I miss the fans, I miss performing. I love doing what I did. It’s the most amazing feeling that you’ll ever get, walking through the curtain and having all those people chant your name.
