Kelly Kelly recently appeared on WWE Television and instantaneously made history by becoming the first-ever female 24/7 Champion. The returning WWE Superstar took advantage of an unsuspecting Gerald Brisco, kicking him in the midsection before pinning him for the championship.

While Kelly Kelly inevitably ended up losing the 24/7 Championship only moments later to the returning Candice Michelle, she still indeed made history.

Blank told Lilian Garcia that the entire thing was the brainchild of fellow ECW alumni Paul Heyman,

"It was so crazy because Paul Heyman called me and he was like, 'Hey, we have this idea.' It was literally the day before and I'm flying out. He was like, 'I hope you brought some gear.' I'm like, 'Yeah, I did.' He was like, 'Well, we have this idea and you're gonna be the first-ever Women's 24/7 Champion to win the 24/7 Title. Do you know what that is?' I'm like, 'Kind of.' He said, 'It was the Hardcore Title.' I was like, 'OK, I got it. That's amazing.'"

Blank knows Paul Heyman well enough to ask what the catch was and he did reveal that she would lose the title only moments later to Candice Michelle. Once Blank knew that her longtime friend would be involved in the angle, she committed fully and she's glad she did, "I loved it. I loved how we did it. It was just great. It was just so fun."
