Then, of course you will see our gorgeous wedding and reception. I can&#8217;t wait for the fans to be able to feel like they were there,&#8221; Blank told <a href=\"http:\/\/www.digitaljournal.com\/a-and-e\/entertainment\/interview-barbie-blank-talks-new-show-wags-on-e-network\/article\/466987\" target=\"_blank\">DigitalJournal.com<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Blank went further into the Season 2 drama in an interview with <a href=\"http:\/\/www.wildtalkradio.com\/\" target=\"_blank\">Wild Talk Radio<\/a>: &#8220;Oh my gosh, you\u2019re going to see everything in Season 2 when it comes to the wedding. You\u2019re going to see the ups and downs of planning a wedding, you\u2019re going to see the bridezilla moments, you\u2019re going to see some stuff that goes down where I\u2019m like \u2018Oh my gosh, I don\u2019t know if this wedding is going to happen\u2019 because that went on with planning a wedding, but I don\u2019t want to give too much away. There\u2019s some drama with the girls, leading up to it, but you get to see the whole wedding which I can\u2019t wait for the fans to see. I can\u2019t wait for them to see all my hard work pay off and just see their year and a half wedding that I\u2019ve been planning that was such a magical day and I can\u2019t wait for everyone to see it.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Blank also noted to Digital Journal that her next career goal is &#8220;doing something in fitness,&#8221; whether endorsing fitness gear or recording fitness videos. She also talked about doing acting beyond the reality TV genre.<\/p>\n<p>As for coming out of retirement from wrestling to return to WWE, Blank made it sound like that&#8217;s not in her future, but she would like to work for WWE again to cross-promote WAGS and WWE&#8217;s &#8220;Total Divas&#8221; reality show on E!.<\/p><div id=\"pwtor-4026633426\" class=\"pwtor-content pwtor-entity-placement\"><div align=\"center\" data-freestar-ad=\"__336x280 __336x280\" id=\"pwtorchcom_test_300x250\">\r\n  <script data-cfasync=\"false\" type=\"text\/javascript\">\r\n    freestar.config.enabled_slots.push({ placementName: \"pwtorchcom_test_300x250\", slotId: \"pwtorchcom_test_300x250\" });\r\n  <\/script>\r\n<\/div><\/div>\n<p>\u201cWith wrestling, because you\u2019re on the road for 300 days a year, and you don\u2019t have any off-season, so your constant, to go from that to \u2018Now what do I do?,\u2019 it\u2019s not easy. But I was able to get into a routine; I started cooking a lot more, I started working out. I got my routine down after being retired for a couple of months, and was like \u2018Okay, this is my life now. This is normal life,'&#8221; Blank told Wild Talk.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I miss the performing, you know. I miss performing for the fans, I miss walking through the curtain and having them cheer for me. So that\u2019s the part I miss for sure. I feel like I\u2019m able to get that fix with being on WAGS because you either love me or you hate me and so in the end I feel like I\u2019m able to keep my fans and they\u2019re able to see a different side of me; they\u2019re able to see how I am in my everyday life, which in WWE they weren\u2019t able to see. They were just seeing a character.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;When Total Divas came up, I just couldn\u2019t go back to doing that schedule. But I feel like WAGS was the perfect place for me to be.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Related to WWE, Blank told <a href=\"http:\/\/thetomorrowshow.com\/\" target=\"_blank\">&#8220;The Tomorrow Show&#8221; with Keven Undergaro<\/a>: &#8220;I would definitely be open to doing like a one time thing, like a Summerslam or (WrestleMania), or you know something fun. I would wait for them to approach me and I would want to do like a crossover with WAGS and Total, because we&#8217;re on the same network and we were airing after them too, so that would have been a perfect crossover.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>However, Blank said she&#8217;s not a fan of the current women&#8217;s division after her era faded out. Her main concern is the lack of a central babyface star.<\/p>\n<div>&#8220;They&#8217;re putting a lot more focus on the women, too, but I feel like they&#8217;re shying away from the era of what I was, of the models&#8230;I don&#8217;t really feel like there&#8217;s a fan favorite girl right now. And I don&#8217;t feel like there really has been,&#8221; Blank said. &#8220;Sorry, I probably am speaking out of turn..but like A.J. was a fav, and you know what I mean, now, right now, I don&#8217;t feel like there&#8217;s somebody that the crowd can get behind.&#8221;<\/div>\n<div class=\"pwtor-end-article-groups pwtor-entity-placement\" id=\"pwtor-3930420557\"><div id=\"pwtor-3045911716\"><div align=\"center\" data-freestar-ad=\"__336x280\" id=\"pwtorchcom_medrec_3\">\r\n  <script data-cfasync=\"false\" type=\"text\/javascript\">\r\n    freestar.config.enabled_slots.push({ placementName: \"pwtorchcom_medrec_3\", slotId: \"pwtorchcom_medrec_3\" });\r\n  <\/script>\r\n<\/div>\r\n\r\nTHANK YOU FOR VISITING<\/div><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<div class=\"mh-excerpt\"><p>Former WWE women&#8217;s wrestler Kelly Kelly (Barbie Blank) returns to cable TV on Sunday night for Season 2 of the &#8220;WAGS&#8221; reality show.
