Former WWE Superstar Kelly Kelly has promised to return for more Royal Rumble matches in the future.

Over the years, the Royal Rumble has become a stage of surprising debuts and one-off returns. The event's titular match often sees the superstars of yesterday appear to the shock and delight of the WWE Universe.

Kelly Kelly made her third appearance in a Royal Rumble Match at the 2022 edition, which took place at The Dome at America's Center in St. Louis. The former WWE Superstar was the fourth entrant, but she was quickly eliminated by former RAW Women's Champion Sasha Banks.

In an interview with MuscleManMalcolm, the 35-year-old stated that she enjoys competing in Rumble Matches. She also made it clear that she is open to more appearances at future editions:

“I love coming back for The Rumble," said Kelly Kelly. "So yeah, definitely. More Royal Rumbles in the future." (H/T - Fightful)

Kelly Kelly recalls why Vince McMahon told her she couldn't be a heel

WWE Chairman Vince McMahon once told Kelly that she could not become a heel due to not having a "bad guy face."

Over her six-year run with WWE, the former Divas Champion played the role of a babyface. In a recent virtual signing with The Asylum Wrestling Store, she recalled a time when she went to Vince McMahon to see if she could play a heel character:

"I did [want to be a heel]," said Kelly Kelly. "I really did and I remember I went to Vince McMahon’s office one day because I was like, ‘Let me ask him what he thinks about me being a bad guy’ and he was like, ‘First off, let me see your bad guy face,’ and I tried to have this mean look and after like two seconds, I started laughing. He’s like, ‘That’s exactly why you could never be a bad guy. Have a good day Kelly, you’re good.’ That was the one and only time I ever tried and then I just left it alone." (H/T - POST Wrestling)

Kelly Kelly kicked off her WWE career in 2006 and remained with the company until 2012. She has made sporadic appearances since, but she has also recently delved into television and film acting.

At only 35 years old, Kelly is still in her prime, but whether she chooses to return to wrestling in the future remains to be seen.
