Kelly DiVanna

* Widowmaker Kelly
* Pre Hair vs Hair Kelly

Kelly DiVanna is a Japanese-American professional wrestler known for her time in GJPW and on the independent scene. She is currently signed to the Waifu Wrestling Alliance. She is a cousin of the leader of the Divine Angels, Priscilla Divine, is rumored to be the daughter of disgraced former AWW performer Dorthe DiVanna, who wrestled under the name VHS Girl and is a member of The Widowmaker Society.

## Early Life

Unlike her cousin Priscilla and her other relatives from the European branch of her family, Kelly is believed to have had a harsh upbringing. She was born in Japan as her mother lived there at the time, but moved to the United States as a young child. She emerged on the independent scene at 18 years of age, claiming she wrestled to survive, and became known for playing sexually charged mind games with her opponents both in and out of the ring. This approach gave her some degree of popularity and success over the following year and she won a few titles at local indies. This success caught the attention of GJPW, who signed the then 19 year old to her first professional contract.

## Professional Wrestling Career

About a year into her GJPW career, DiVanna was released from her contract after a pay dispute which had led to her no showing a major event. Eager to continue her career and curious about the presence of a member of the European branch of her family, Kelly travelled back to the USA with the intention of joining the WWA.

It was later revealed that the pay dispute was only the tip of the iceberg of her issues in GJPW, as she was held back by GJPW management due to her rebuffing the sexual advances of an executive. Upon finding this out, Priscilla Divine took the opportunity to blackmail the executive into making a deal that was advantageous to her.

### Feud vs Ava Mortis

After she signed with the WWA, Kelly was booked to face Keron Croakie in a qualification match for the Hardcore Clusterfork match. However, Kelly opted against taking part in this match as she didn't want to wrestle someone who had recently been the victim of a serious attack. This led to Priscilla seeking out a more worthy opponent for Kelly, eventually deciding to ask WWA management to pit her against Ava Mortis, a wrestler that would never turn down a fight, and is a former hardcore champion. As expected, Ava accepted the challenge.

Kelly won against Ava Mortis on her debut in a very hard fought match. Kelly was forced to show the full extent of her resilience by kicking out of two of Ava's finishers. Kelly's revealing ring gear and a bizarre post match incident which involved Kelly licking Ava's face became the subjects of chatter surrounding her debut on online message boards.

### Feud vs Little Beaver

Little Beaver was the victim of a heinous assault masterminded by Priscilla Divine prior to Kelly's arrival in WWA. However, when Beaver issued an open challenge to the Angels for a hair vs hair match, it was Kelly who answered, eager to make a name for herself in the company by shaving her opponent.

Kelly went on to taunt Beaver by flaunting her hair while starring in a commercial promoting a new shampoo promoted by Divine Enterprises called Divine Locks. Later, Beaver broke into the mansion, found Kelly's room and stole a VHS which belonged to Kelly's mother, VHS Girl. An upset Kelly swore vengeance ahead of a clash between the two scheduled for Onsen A Lifetime.

Kelly was defeated by Little Beaver in a hard fought battle at Onsen a Lifetime and as dictated by the stipulation, had to lose her hair. However Little Beaver chose not to cut all of her hair off and encouraged Kelly to forge her own path, away from the Divine Angels.

Reflecting on Priscilla's indifference despite the fact Kelly had put her hair on the line on her behalf, Kelly decided to leave the Divine Mansion and make a name for herself without her cousin.

### Feud vs Robyn McDaid & joining The Widowmaker Society

After leaving the mansion, Kelly tried to make ends meet by selling items she stole from Priscilla, but was beaten by the people she tried to sell the items to. One of them mentioned owing money to Cassie Kade, so Kelly went looking for her at Club Xtacy. This led to an unsanctioned match between the two, which Cassie won, and an offer to join The Widowmaker Society, which Kelly accepted.

Shortly before this, Priscilla Divine put a bounty on Kelly's head, offering money to anyone who beat her in a hardcore match. Robyn McDaid accepted this offer and Priscilla then tried to further motivate her by offering to pay off all her medical and legal debt. Kelly and Robyn's path finally crossed due to a feud between Cassie Kade, who Kelly is aligned with and Andi Kestrel, who Robyn is aligned with.

After the feud between Cassie and Andi led to three vs three match at Clash in the Kingdom which The Widowmakers won, Kelly called out Robyn, challenging her to chase the bounty as she had agreed to. However in a video message, Kelly proposed different stipulations, with the match being changed from a hardcore match to a steel cage match. Kelly also taunted Robyn over the fact she would be forced to film adult movies if she couldn't win, as Robyn accidentally signed a contract to perform in movies of this nature for Goldman Studios. However, without money from the bounty Priscilla placed on Kelly, Robyn would never be able to challenge Goldman's Studios' lawsuit against her for breaching the contract, and would be left with no choice but to feature in their films. Robyn defeated Kelly however, and avoided this fate.

### B1 Climax 2023

Coming off a singles defeat to Robyn and a failure to earn a tag title opportunity with Kasumi O'Brian in the Tag Derby, Kelly continued to spiral with a poor performance in a Battle Royale at Judge, Yuri and Executioner where she was the first to be eliminated. Her loss was compounded by her past rival Robyn McDaid winning her first title at the same event, her cousin Priscilla successfully retaining her World Title and her fellow Widowmakers representing the Auditors in the main event of the event while Kelly lost in embarrassing fashion on the undercard. Unsure of what the future held for her at this point, the B1 Climax was announced, and eager for the opportunity to turn her career around, Kelly became the first member of the WWA roster to declare her entry to the B1.

#### Kuro Noire II

Kuro Noire II was Kelly's first opponent in the B1. Kelly immediately attempted to play mind games on her opponent, likening the way Noire was compared to her mother to the way Kelly herself was compared to her own mother, and Priscilla, before dismissing Noire as a pretender who wasn't distinct from the one she was compared to. However, Kelly's efforts to get into Noire's head proved to be fruitless as Noire defeated her, bringing Kelly's losing streak to 3 while also being her 4th loss in her previous 5 matches. After the match, Noire offered Kelly a coin made to commemorate one of her mother's title defences. However Kelly rejected the kind gesture, claiming she would become a champ herself one day.

#### Nico

Determined to turn her fortunes around, Kelly once again tried to gain a psychological edge against her next opponent, Nico. She intended to do this by confronting Nico at Burger Bear Gym, however while on her way there she encountered Nico who was meeting with Ratasha. Kelly followed them from a distance, while recording a live stream episode of The Kelly DiVanna Show. She made numerous derogatory remarks about Nico and Ratasha, and encouraged the fans watching her stream to post on Tweetstagram with the hashtag #nicoliftsburgers while making fun of her opponent's having a fat physique despite her gym routine.

Eventually Nico and Ratasha returned to the former's apartment. At this point, Kelly threw a brick through the window, enraging Nico. She was further enraged upon finding out about the comments Kelly made about her and Ratasha, and vowed to destroy Kelly in their match. However, Kelly instead returned to winning ways with a dominant victory over Nico, with her mindgames seemingly finally paying off with her opponent being left too angry to wrestle effectively.

#### Ciel Du Grenouille

Next Kelly faced an opponent who had managed to defeat Cassie and drew against Kasumi. Vowing that no woman would escape Block B without tasting defeat from at least one member of The Widowmaker Society, Kelly went on to record her second consecutive victory and take her points tally in the B1 up to four with a victory over Ciel.

#### Lillith

Kelly's fourth opponent was Lillith, who like Ciel had also wrestled both of Kelly's fellow Widowmaker Society members, defeating Kasumi but losing to Cassie. Kelly relished the chance to fight someone who had won against Kasumi, and attempted to utilise her penchant for psychological warfare to gain an advantage. With this goal in mind she went to the dojo and recorded Lillith's cooking for another impromptu episode of The Kelly DiVanna Show, making fun of Lillith's use of grass in a broth and the presence of shells in eggs she was cooking.

The arrival of Robyn McDaid and Andi Kestrel at the dojo kitchen caused Kelly to end her stream early and unbeknownst to her, Lillith never saw the stream anyway as she's not active on social media. Later that night, Kelly was able to use her speed to defeat the much more powerful Lillith, recording three consecutive victories for the first time in her WWA career. The match was also notable for Kelly's use of the 1986 springboard curb stomp she adopted from her mother to pick up the win, the first time she was seen using the move in WWA.

## In Ring

Kelly is a high flyer, having settled upon a style designed to be eye catching and earn her as much attention as possible during her time on the indies and then in Japan. She has kept this style in the WWA, adding a number of fast strikes to her arsenal and her flashy wresting has earned her the nickname of 'The Instant Replay'.
