Current WWE champion wants to fight Kelly Kelly

A current WWE Champion has expressed their desire to face Kelly Kelly in the ring. She competed in WWE from 2006 to 2012. During this tenure, she held the Divas Championship once and featured regularly on WWE programming.

Although Kelly has only made sporadic appearances since her in-ring retirement, current WWE Women's Champion Tiffany Stratton is keen to face her. The Buff Barbie has faced veterans such as Trish Stratus and Charlotte Flair during her title reign, and now has another name as a possible opponent.

During an appearance on The Babyfaces Podcast, Stratton was asked who else she has been compared to, and she would like to say she's the champ and "It's Tiffy time."

"Maybe Kelly Kelly. I think like for the most part it's Kelly Kelly. That would be really cool if she came back," she mentioned. [From 8:42-8:57]

She also competed at WrestleMania 28, teaming up with Extra correspondent Maria Menounos to defeat Beth Phoenix and Eve Torres.

Over the years, she made sporadic appearances in WWE. In April this year, it was reported that Kelly had signed a legends contract with WWE.

About the author

Sherjeel Malik is a writer at Sportskeeda and covers pro wrestling. He was hooked on the product from the moment he saw The Hardy Boyz jumping off ladders during the Attitude Era. While he comes from an engineering background, Sherjeel’s love for pro wrestling and content writing led him to pursue a career in sports journalism. Before assuming his current role at Sportskeeda, Sherjeel worked at other reputable organizations for five years.

While writing articles, he ensures that he only relies on credible sources for information and covers relevant subjects that do not project an agenda against a particular person or association. WWE legend Paul Heyman once shared Sherjeel’s work on his social media handle.

Sherjeel’s earliest memory of pro wrestling is watching Stone Cold Steve Austin and The Undertaker square off for the WWE Title in the main event of a pay-per-view in 1998. His favorite wrestlers are Randy Orton and Jeff Hardy. While he admires Orton for his character work as a heel, he looks up to Jeff because of his unique wrestling style and risk-taking ability.

If he could go back to the Attitude Era, Sherjeel would like to manage Ken Shamrock and be his mouthpiece. He feels Shamrock’s promo skills prevented him from becoming a main event-level act in WWE. Hence, he would like to help the UFC Hall of Famer get over with fans.

When not writing about pro wrestling, he likes to read classics and fiction books.
