Just hours before WWE Evolution 2, a fan favorite legend confirmed they turned down a chance to appear at Sunday’s event.
Over the weekend, a fan on X posted about their appreciation for former women’s division star Kelly Kelly. And how she was a huge part of their WWE fandom. That fan was likely hoping Kelly would be appearing on tonight’s WWE Evolution 2 card after she took part in the first event seven years ago. Unfortunately, the fan favorite had some bad news.

“Thank you, love, I was so honored to be invited to Evolution II, to sit in the crowd. It just didn’t feel like the right way to come back,” Kelly, real name Barbie Blank, said. “I’ll always be proud to have been part of the first. My heart is with every woman in that ring tomorrow. I’ll be back when the time’s right.”
Of the various legends from the WWE women’s division, Kelly Kelly is one of the few who is still fairly young. She is only 38 years old and started her career in the industry in her early 20s. That may be why she turned down a chance to appear in the crowd and wave to fans. She is still in prime wrestling years and wants to go in the ring and be physical.
Nevertheless, there are sure to be surprise returns at tonight’s event. With recent rumors pointing to possible appearances from Saraya, FKA Paige, and Brie Bella.
