2-time champion confirms new deal with WWE

WWE has offered new deals to several superstars from the past since TKO took over the company, whether for a short run or a legends deal. Recently, Barbie Blank, formerly known as Kelly Kelly, confirmed that she has signed a Legends deal with the company.

A few months ago, it was reported that Kelly Kelly signed a new Legends deal with the Stamford-based promotion. However, the former Divas and 24/7 Champion never addressed the rumor, nor has she made any appearances for the promotion since the apparent signing.

However, she recently confirmed the new Legends deal with WWE. In an appearance on INSIGHT with Chris Van Vliet, Barbie Blank, fka Kelly Kelly, talked about her career in the Stamford-based promotion. While talking about a potential return to the ring, Blank thanked the company for her career and revealed she signed a new Legends deal.

"At the end of the day, I have to thank WWE for my career. They’re who made me, I wouldn't have the career that I have if it wasn't for them. I am so appreciative of them. That's why I signed a legends deal, and that's why I still come back all the time. But yeah, I think hopefully a few years down the line, when my kids will be able to sit next to me if I'm in the crowd, and cheer me on," Blank said. [H/T - chrisvanvliet.com]

Major WWE name wants to face Kelly Kelly

Kelly Kelly inspired a generation of female wrestlers with her work during the Divas Era. Unfortunately, the former Divas Champion retired from full-time competition in 2012 but has always been open to returning for one-off appearances in the Stamford-based promotion against the new generation.

In an appearance on The Babyfaces Podcast, current WWE Women's Champion Tiffany Stratton expressed her interest in facing the legend inside the ring, as she often gets compared to Kelly Kelly.

"Maybe Kelly Kelly. I think like for the most part it's Kelly Kelly. That would be really cool if she came back," Stratton said.

The champion is currently in a feud with Jade Cargill on Friday Night SmackDown.
