Killer Kelly Reveals How She Got Her Wrestling Name

Killer Kelly reveals the origin of her name.

Killer Kelly responded to a post on Fightful’s X account that she got her wrestling name because her wrestling name in Portugal was simply “Kelly.”

One day, the crowd started chanting “Killer Kelly” because of her aggressive behavior inside the squared circle, and she chose to adopt it as a tribute to the fans who had supported her early on.

My wrestling name back home in Portugal was “Kelly”. One day, at a show, the crowd started chanting “Killer Kelly” because I was being vicious in ring. That stuck with me and I decided to go by it as a tribute to the fans that were with me from the beginning 🖤 best decision https://t.co/p12Qh7kdtZ
