A former WWE Superstar, Kelly Kelly, has responded to a tweet discussing her retirement from wrestling at the young age of 25.
Kelly enjoyed an active career in WWE from 2006 to 2012, during which she garnered immense popularity among fans and secured the Divas Title once.
In an interesting turn of events, Kelly was released from her WWE contract in 2012, marking her departure from the ring at the age of 25. A Twitter user highlighted this aspect of her career, prompting the 37-year-old star to respond with a sassy emoji.
Kelly Kelly’s WWE comeback in 2018 was a significant moment. She made her return in the inaugural Women’s Royal Rumble Match in 2018, which was won by Asuka. Subsequently, she participated in two more Royal Rumble matches in 2020 and 2022.

Reflecting on her post-retirement life, Kelly Kelly shared insights during an interview with Lilian Garcia on her podcast, Chasing Glory, in 2019. She discussed the challenges of transitioning to life after wrestling at a young age:
“I never got to grow up really. When I retired, I was 25. I was in a relationship, and he was on the road, since he played hockey, and I was like what do I do with my life? What do I want to do? I became like a housewife. I was cooking and I was taking care of his two daughters. It was fulfilling, but I needed something for me. Luckily WAGS (the television show on E!) came, and that really helped me transition. I wouldn’t have known what to do if it wasn’t for that show because I was so bored. I enjoyed it. It let me get out that entertainment bug that I had in wrestling. I was able to channel that into WAGS. I had a lot of fun with it.” [H/T WrestlingInc]
Kelly Kelly’s impact on the wrestling world was undeniable, amassing a large fan base during her relatively short stint as a professional wrestler. She is now married to bodybuilder Joe Coba and welcomed twins in September of last year.
