[[quoteright:341:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/kelly-kelly-diva-wwe_4337.jpg]]'''Barbara Jean "Barbie" Blank''' (born on January 15, 1987 in [[UsefulNotes/{{Florida}} Jacksonville, Florida]]) is a female American professional wrestler, best known as '''Kelly Kelly''' who has competed exclusively in Wrestling/{{WWE}} on all three brands, first on the WWE revival of ECW, then WWERaw, then WWESmackdown and was most recently on Raw in August 2012. She was signed in 2006 and was introduced first in a weekly striptease segment called "Kelly's Expose" and then formed "Extreme Expose" with Wrestling/BrookeAdams and [[Wrestling/{{Layla}} Layla El]], beginning a weekly dance segment on ECW. After the group split, Kelly began to take a more active role in the ring and was featured in more matches. Her hard work paid off on June 20, 2011 when she became the Divas Champion for the first (and only) time, reigning until October 2, 2011. She left WWE in late 2012 and has not continued with wrestling since.

* MsFanservice: Her initial role on WWECW was exhibitionist(removing her clothing) and nothing else. She got something else to do when Mike Knox started prohibiting her from stripping. Again when her expose partners [[FaceHeelTurn Lena and Layla decided beating up Kelly Kelly]] was more fun than taking their clothes off.

* LovelyAngels: With EveTorres. With Tiffany as well in 2010.

** Her RoaringRampageOfRevenge against Beth Phoenix after losing the Diva's Championship at Hell In The Cell 2011 thanks to Natalya braining her with a microphone while the referee wasn't looking. This finally helped her overcome GoodIsBoring and gave her some depth.

She was first signed in 2006 after Wrestling/JohnLaurinaitis found her and Wrestling/AliciaFox [[CriticalResearchFailure in the same swimsuit catalog]], though Kelly debuted on TV years before the latter). She was introduced first in a weekly striptease segment called "Kelly's Expose" and then formed "Extreme Expose" with Wrestling/BrookeAdams and [[Wrestling/{{Layla}} Layla El]], beginning a weekly dance segment on ECW. After the group split, Kelly began to take a more active role in the ring and was featured in more matches. Her hard work paid off on June 20, 2011 when she became the Divas Champion for the first (and only) time, reigning until October 2, 2011. She was future endeavoured on September 28, 2012, but it wasn't by Wrestling/JohnLaurinaitis, though.

* AbortedArc: The Divas of Doom storyline was quietly dropped and the alliance between Kelly, Alicia and Eve disbanded once Eve turned heel in a separate storyline.

** Mike Knox and RandyOrton. Seems to have learned her lesson by the time she met Drew [=McIntyre=].
--> "I don't want to be around someone that takes pleasure on beating on other people. Grow up!"
** The above line was lambasting [=McIntyre=] for attacking Trent Barreta from behind after losing a match to him on Smackdown.
*** The above line can also be viewed as a little hypocritical of her, as around the same time she and Kaitlyn attacked [=LayCool=] from behind before a tag match.
* AlliterativeName[=/=]RepetitiveName: Her real name too, finishing moves Kelly Killer and K2 as well
* AlternateCompanyEquivalent: A blonde bombshell who was formerly a member of a stable consisting of [[MsFanservice Ms. Fanservices]], better known for her looks than her talent, first target of any heel, and divides the wrestling community on whether or not she's a competent wrestler. Are we talking about Kelly Kelly or Wrestling/VelvetSky?

* ArchEnemy: Wrestling/{{Layla}}. A backstage segment at ''Extreme Rules 2011'' implied they're over that now.

* BeautyIsBad: Has improved substantially in the ring from when she debuted several years ago (see TookALevelInBadass) but she still 'suffers' from looking much more like a supermodel than a female wrestler (read: she's ''gorgeous'') and seems to catch a lot of flak for it.

** Strangely enough, since losing the [[http://www.wrestling-titles.com/wwe/wwe-divas.html WWE Divas' Title]], her appearances have been sporadic at best. The Divas are only guaranteed a few minutes per show anyway, but it's somewhat jarring, as she went from showing up every week to hardly showing up at all.
** [[JustifiedTrope Justified:]] It's said that Kelly has wanted some time off for a while, and may or may not come back. Depending how it goes, this could turn into TenMinuteRetirement, or even PutOnABus permanently.
* DistaffCounterpart: To Wrestling/JohnCena, according to some. Which is more of a case of viewers having short memories since the 2011 was the first year she started winning her matches regularly, having spent most of her career as enhancement talent with the occasional win here and there.

%%* FragileSpeedster: Emphasis on the [[{{jobber}} fragile]]. At least until her title reign.

%%* GettingHotInHere
* GirlPosse: Brooke and Layla, when they were Extreme Expose.

* LovelyAngels: With EveTorres

* ReallyGetsAround: According to Randy Orton on a radio interview, "I could name 10 guys that have 'method acted' with Kelly Kelly" though this is [[{{Jerkass}} Randy Orton]] we're talking about so his word isn't exactly reliable.

** Her three-minute match with Beth on ''[=SmackDown!=]'' was announced as a non-title match but was retconned into being her title rematch the next week as a way to allow Eve to become the new contender.
** Fixed though when she was given another title match against Beth at TLC.

*** And the rematch with Beth at Night Of Champions 2011 was even better.
*** Her RoaringRampageOfRevenge against Beth Phoenix after losing the Diva's Championship at Hell In The Cell 2011 thanks to Natalya braining her with a microphone while the referee wasn't looking. This finally helped her overcome GoodIsBoring and gave her some depth.

* WeUsedToBeFriends: With Wrestling/EveTorres since the latter recently TookALevelInJerkass. Earlier with Layla and Brooke on ''ECW''.

* FragileSpeedster: Emphasis on the [[{{jobber}} fragile]]. At least until her title reign.

* GettingHotInHere

* AmbiguousInnocence While she wasn't ever against the fans, she has done some questionable things. Such as using Wrestling/TheMiz to protect herself and Wrestling/RandyOrton from Wrestling/{{Kane}}. Miz and Wrestling/JohnMorrison taking revenge was really understandable.
* ArchEnemy: [[Wrestling/LayCool Layla.]] A backstage segment at ''Extreme Rules 2011'' implied they're over that now.

* PowerStable: A face version, as she and Eve recruited Alicia Fox to face the Divas of Doom.[[note]]Kaitlyn was originally meant to turn heel and join Beth and Natalya to become their third Diva - but Vince reportedly scrapped the segment that aired and quietly broke up the Divas of Doom[[/note]]

* InformedAttractiveness: WWE built her up as the most beautiful Diva on the roster. Lawler's gushing over her on a nightly basis really drove it home.

* InformedAttractiveness: We get it, Lawler, you like her.

* RecycledSoundtrack: The first version of her theme "Holla" was originally made for Candice Michelle.

* ImportantHaircut: Dyed her trademark blonde hair to [[https://pbs.twimg.com/media/A5YpYMPCUAEzVtQ.jpg:large brown]] after leaving WWE.

* PutOnABus: Took a hiatus from wrestling, in the beginning of 2012. Ultimately , this lead to her asking for her release.

She was future endeavoured on September 28, 2012, but it wasn't by Wrestling/JohnLaurinaitis, though.

* WeUsedToBeFriends: With Wrestling/EveTorres since the latter recently TookALevelInJerkass.

** To Billy Gunn would be a more fitting example. Both her finishing moves, the K2 and the Kelly Killer are modified versions of his Fame Asser and there's the whole fixation with her ass.

** How about her match with BethPhoenix at Summerslam 2011? Holy crap, when has Kelly been able to put on a match like ''that''?

* WhatCouldHaveBeen: They were certainly going for some kind of storyline with [[Wrestling/KiaStevens Kharma]] which had to be dropped when the latter got pregnant.

* MsFanservice: Her initial role on WWECW was exhibitionist(removing her clothing) and nothing else. She got something else to do when Mike Knox started prohibiting her from stripping. Again when her expose partners Lena and Layla decided beating up Kelly Kelly was more fun than taking their clothes off.

** Went from being glorified eye candy at the start of her career (arguably more so than most Divas) to being a Divas champion and a decent wrestler by 2011. Paired with equally (or more) competent competitors, she can actually put on pretty good matches now (see below)

* AlliterativeName: Her real name Barbie Blank. Same goes for her ring name, which doubles as a RepetitiveName

** Her three-minute match with Beth on ''SmackDown'' was announced as a non-title match but was retconned into being her title rematch the next week as a way to allow Eve to become the new contender.

* ShipTease: One of Kelly's first story lines on ECW was a romantic one with Wrestling/CMPunk. She was the ({{Kayfabe}}) girlfriend of Mike Knox, while simultaneously developing a crush on Punk, which made Knox jealous. Punk didn't really show much interest, but was still harassed for it by Knox -- who never actually ''beat'' Punk. Eventually she broke away from Knox, became a part of Extreme Expose with [=Layla=] and Brooke (better known as Miss Tessmacher), and then started developing a crush with ''Balls Mahoney'' while her contract was owned by Wrestling/TheMiz. Then there was that thing was Wrestling/{{Kane}} and Wrestling/RandyOrton, followed by [[Wrestling/ThreeMB Drew McIntyre]].

* WildCard: If you look at her in the ring closely, she's actually very heelish. She's very aggressive, does a lot of stomping and face smashing and even uses an illegal submission hold. Can be a bit of MoodWhiplash when she goes from the smiling GirlNextDoor during her entrance to the aggressive ghetto girl.

* ButtMonkey: For years if anyone wanted to get over as a legit heel, all they had to do was pick on poor little Kelly. [[Wrestling/NatalyaNeidheart Natalya]] and Wrestling/BethPhoenix are the most infamous examples. It was expected when Kharma debuted that Kelly would be her first victim. But then Kharma attacked [[strike:Maryse]] everyone else instead.
