ECW

Blank debuted for the ECW brand as Kelly Kelly on the first episode of the weekly television program - June 13, 2006[7] - becoming the youngest diva on the WWE roster. Her character, an exhibitionist, debuted on the show performing a striptease for the crowd.[7] The next week, while performing another striptease, Kelly was interrupted by her (kayfabe) boyfriend, Mike Knox, who came to the stage and covered her with a towel before dragging her backstage.[8] This became a weekly segment known as Kelly's Exposé and usually followed the same routine – Kelly would dance/give a striptease, then get interrupted by Knox who was upset by her exhibitionism and constant showing of her body to others.[9] [10] From there Kelly became Knox's de facto valet when he began "forcing" her to accompany him to ringside so he could keep an eye on her during his matches. As a result she found herself involved in the feud developing between Mike Knox and partner Test with Tommy Dreamer and his partner the Sandman, including being dragged into the ring and spanked by Dreamer and inadvertently hit with a cane by Sandman[11] when Knox used her as a shield. She made her ECW in-ring debut at the August 22, 2006 edition of ECW on Sci-Fi in a losing effort as part of a six-person Mixed tag team match which saw herself, Knox, and Test lose to Dreamer, Sandman and Torrie Wilson, in what became the blow off match for the feud.[12] Following this feud Kelly started to show interest in ECW wrestler CM Punk - congratulating him on wins [13] and watching his matches from the entryway/crowd [14] - causing Knox to become increasingly protective and jealous. Things came to a head when Kelly dressed as CM Punk for ECW's "Halloween Costume Contest"[15], enraging Knox, and leading to a match between the two, during which she cheered for Punk.[16] Extreme Championship Wrestling (ECW) is a professional wrestling brand of World Wrestling Entertainment, based on the independent promotion Extreme Championship Wrestling that lasted from 1992 to 2001. ...

Kelly and Knox had their pay-per-view debut at December to Dismember, taking on Ariel and Kevin Thorn in a mixed tag match. During the course of the match Knox refused to allow Kelly to tag him in and eventually abandoned her altogether, leaving her to be beaten badly by Ariel.[17] On the following edition of ECW on Sci Fi , Kelly defeated Ariel with a roll-up in her first ECW singles match. After the match, Knox made his way to the ring with flowers, only to throw them in Kelly's face and hit her with his signature swinging reverse STO[18], ending their relationship and (kayfabe) injuring her, taking her off the show for six weeks. She returned to ECW on Sci Fi on January 16, 2007 to cut a promo announcing she was newly single and bringing back "Kelly's Exposé", but was interrupted by Matt Striker who insulted her intelligence. She was invited to stay at ringside for his match against CM Punk, which she did, and helped Punk to victory by exposing her breasts to Striker -- without Punk's knowledge -- and distracting him long enough to be caught in a back slide.[19] The next week she debuted a spin off of her previous Exposé segments, bringing Brooke Adams and Layla El to dance with her as Extreme Exposé.[20] Pay-per-view is the name given to a system by which television viewers can call and order events to be seen on TV and pay for the private telecast of that event to their homes later. ...
