Kelly Kelly - WWE Diva

Kelly Kelly - WWE Diva

Barbara Jean Blank, best known as Kelly Kelly in the World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE) diva line in the popular series Raw, is also a model and a dancer.

While doing her usual modeling stints, WWE linked up with her modeling agency for a try-out in their Ohio Valley Wrestling developmental facility. She was eventually offered a contract in 2006. Her first stint was as a ring announcer and then a referee.

In 2006 when she was just 19 years old, she debuted in ECW using the name Kelly Kelly, making her the youngest WWE Diva. She romped on using the character of an exhibitionist and performed striptease acts to work out the crowd. Some girlie scenes were injected in her stints, like "boyfriend" Mike Knox coming up the stage with a towel to cover her up. This storyline developed with Knox acting as her valet on the ringside.

Kelly Kelly and Knox entered into a storyline with CM Punk, where she had a big crish on Punk which made Knox extremely jealous. In December to Dismember, the two wrestled againts the team of Ariel and Kevin Thorn. Here, Knox did not allow Kelly Kelly to tag him, and he abandoned her to be beaten by Ariel. In the follow-up edition, Kelly Kelly had her revenge over Ariel which became her first ever ECW singles match. During this match, Knox came up and gave his ex-beau an STO which resulted to an injury that had the WWE diva removed from the program for 6 weeks.

In 2008, Kelly Kelly debuted on Raw by teaming up with Mickie James against Layla and Jillian Hall. She also joined forces with fellow Survivor Series Raw Divas to wrestle against the SmackDown! Divas and their team won.

On the side, Kelly Kelly appeared in some music videos (together with other WWE divas) and poses for the likes of FHM.
