She's willing to do so specifically for a "special little run." Her primary motivation is a heartfelt one: for her young children to see her perform in a WWE ring. Speaking on The Wrestling Classic, Kelly Kelly discussed her future in wrestling. When asked about returning full-time, she stated, "Not full-time. I would come back for a special little run or something." She then shared the personal reason driving this potential return. "I've said, my dream is to have my kids watch me one day." Kelly Kelly gave birth to twins, a boy and a girl, in September 2023. Kelly first made a name for herself in WWE on the relaunched ECW brand, debuting in 2006 at the young age of 19.

At the time, she cited a neck injury and her aspirations to pursue modeling as reasons for her departure from full-time wrestling. Since then, she has made several sporadic appearances for WWE, notably participating in multiple Women's Royal Rumble matches, always receiving a warm welcome from WWE fans. Her desire for her children to see her wrestle echoes the sentiments of other WWE Superstars like Becky Lynch, Alexa Bliss, and Jade Cargill. All of these have successfully balanced motherhood with their in-ring careers. Beyond wrestling, Kelly Kelly is now a fashion influencer and has collaborated with Smith Devereux Winery to create her own wine label, B Tasteful. Her comments leave the door open for at least one more memorable WWE appearance. Whether or not she will actually do that remains to be seen. For now, it's a pipedream.
