Former WWE star Kelly Kelly has recalled Vince McMahon personally demonstrating how he wanted her to perform one of her early dance routines.
Kelly Kelly joined WWE in 2006 at 19 and was initially introduced on the company’s ECW brand, where she performed a striptease segment known as Kelly’s Exposé.
She later joined Layla and Brooke Adams to form Extreme Exposé, and the trio regularly performed dance routines together on ECW.
Appearing on the first episode of Layla’s LayTalk podcast, Kelly reflected on preparing for one of her earliest appearances and revealed that Vince McMahon unexpectedly decided to demonstrate the routine himself.

Kelly Kelly said WWE employee Kasama Bhasathiti had initially helped her prepare the routine before Vince McMahon asked to see what she had learned around an hour before the show.
“When we were starting Kelly’s Expose and it was like my first night, I had kind of gone over with [WWE producer] Kasama [Bhasathiti],” Kelly said. “You know she was backstage and she kind of like handled the talent and helped out a lot and was kind of Vince’s right-hand woman too.”
According to Kelly, Bhasathiti told her she needed to learn some dances and began helping her prepare. McMahon then arrived and asked Kelly to demonstrate what she had learned.
“And so, you know, she was like, ‘Look, we need to learn some dances’ and so she kind of like helped me and then like an hour before Vince was like, ‘Okay, let’s see what you got. Like, show me.’ And I was just like, ‘Okay.’”
Kelly said Bhasathiti and Triple H were present when McMahon decided to take off his jacket and show her exactly what he wanted.
“And he was like, ‘I’m gonna show you.’ And he, like, took his jacket off and I was just like, ‘This is my boss. This is who I’ve watched on TV since I was a little kid, like, showing me exactly what he wants me to do.’”
Kelly remained with WWE until 2012 and later made several appearances for the company after her departure.
