WWE Legend Rejected Invitation To Return At Evolution 2
A WWE legend was recently invited to be part of the Evolution PLE on Sunday.
Kelly Kelly, who debuted with the ECW brand in 2016, received an invitation to attend the show as an audience member, but she declined it politely.
The former Divas Champion has previously spoken about returning to the Stamford-based company one day; however, she felt that this was not how she wanted to do it.
She recently took to X to reveal the details about the invite while sharing a fan’s tribute to her.
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. 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❤️ https://t.co/g5rbrNuasQ
