Wrestling: Did Kelly Klein screw her future?

As we are only a couple of days into 2020, there’s one entity that didn’t really take time off due to the holidays. The Wrestling world continues to have drama from both in or out of the ring. The most recent one happen to occur with Ring of Honor’s Woman of Honor champion, Kelly Klein.

If you recall, Kelly Klein was let go by Ring of Honor in November of 2019. The move was done while Kelly Klein was suffering from a concussion. Between her and ROH producer, Joey Mercury, they would talk about how ROH had no protocol put into place. This lead to a lot of stuff coming out against Ring of Honor. Many wrestling fans felt sorry for Kelly as she was basically fired from her place of work while out with an injury. Unfortunately, it seems that the situation has gotten worse for her. BJ Whitmer, Kelly’s soon to be ex-husband, came out on Twitter and announced that he was filing for divorce from his wife, Kelly Klein.

His Tweet goes as follows, “I have a personal statement to make. My wife Kelly Klein and I are divorcing. This is happening because Kelly breached the trust in our relationship by stepping outside of our marriage. This is the only thing I have to say about the matter. This has been a very difficult time for myself and my family. News of our split was already spreading around the business and I wanted to make a statement before it made it to social media or wrestling media.” According to EWRESTLING NEWS, the tweet has since been taken down.

The talk among wrestling fans on social media is that they think she was having an affair with Joey Mercury. While it’s never cool to cheat on your spouse, Kelly has bigger problems to deal with. As of this writing, she is a free agent. Her ex-husband happens to be a backstage producer for All Elite Wrestling. There was a feeling that Kelly would join her husband in AEW. Now with this news coming out, I’d be curious to see who signs her.

While wrestling fans should put what happen to the side, I highly doubt that the fans will do that. What also makes this situation tough is she is still young. She’s only 33 years old and is getting into the prime of her career. It will be interesting to see how this all shapes out in the coming days and weeks.
