Kelly Kelly, who rose to prominence in WWE’s women’s division starting in the company’s iteration of ECW, became a Women’s Champion during her tenure. She was a babyface all her life and she has now revealed why Vince McMahon refused to turn her heel.
Since moving away from full-time competition, Kelly has made occasional appearances for WWE. She participated in three Women’s Royal Rumble matches, with her latest appearance being in 2022. Additionally, she competed in a Battle Royal at the all-women’s Evolution pay-per-view in 2018.
While speaking to WrestlingNews, Kelly Kelly recalled the time she asked Vince McMahon about turning heel. However, when he asked her to see her ‘bad guy face,’ Kelly ended up laughing instead. This led to Vince McMahon refusing to turn Kelly Kelly heel and stating that she would forever remain a babyface.
“Be a heel? Yeah. I think I told this story before too. I tried to ask Vince like, ‘Hey, I really feel like I could, you know, I want to try out being a heel’ and he was like, ‘Let me see your bad guy face’ and I just started laughing. And he was like, ‘No, you’ll forever be a babyface.’ So I don’t know, maybe that’s why they changed it, who knows.”
Kelly Kelly also made it clear she would love to return to WWE under Triple H. Nonetheless, many fans also feel Kelly Kelly remaining a babyface for her entire career was the right decision and that’s all that matters to them.
