Guide Note

Kelly Kelly (real name Barbie Blank) is a professional wrestler and "Diva" under WWE's ECW brand.

Blank was a Hawaiian Tropic model when she was offered a contract from the WWE, despite having no wrestling experience. She was sent to Ohio Valley Wrestling for training where she worked as a ring announcer, referee, and wrestler.

Blank debuted on the premier episode of ECW as Kelly Kelly on June 13, 2006. Her character was an exhibitionist that performed stripteases for the crowd, only to be interrupted by her on-screen boyfriend, Mike Knox. After a few more brief angles, Kelly formed the group Extreme Exposé along with divas Layla El and Brooke Adams. The trio would perform dance numbers in the ring on an almost weekly basis. The team would then align itself with Mike Mizanin (The Miz). The group began to make fun of Kelly for her interest in wrestler Balls Mahoney. Extreme Exposé was eventually disbanded when Adams was released by WWE. Kelly has begun to take a more active wrestling role in the company.
