Will Stacy Keibler ever go back to WWE?
It comes as no surprise, but former WWE diva Stacy Keibler said she has no plans to return to pro wrestling even for a special appearance.
“They [WWE] haven’t contacted me at all,” Keibler told me earlier this week. “There’s usually not a one-time appearance kind of thing. It’s usually getting on the loop and doing all the house shows, and I’m just not interested in traveling like that right now. I will never say never, but I just couldn’t deal with that kind of lifestyle now.”
Although the Rosedale native and WWE parted awkwardly last year – she said the company informed her while she was doing Dancing with the Stars that it was not going to renew her contract – WWE did try to do business with her later.
“After Dancing with the Stars, I got a call from Johnny [Laurinaitis, WWE senior vice president of talent relations], and he was like, ‘We’d like to see if we can do something with you,’ ” Keibler said. “I was still injured [sprained ankle, pulled groin] from Dancing with the Stars. I couldn’t do anything because I was still under a doctor’s care, and it just didn’t work out.”
For now, Keibler – who has a small role in the sports parody The Comebacks, which opened today – is focusing all of her attention on her acting career. She played recurring characters last season on ABC’s What About Brian and George Lopez, but neither show was picked up this fall.
“I was pretty bummed about that, but everything happens for a reason,” said Keibler, who still is under contract with ABC. “It was a great opportunity to work with really talented people that have been working for years. But now it’s time to move on and work with another great group of people. The more people that I can work with and learn from, the better I can become.”
