Speculation regarding a possible in-ring return for Kelly started in February 2017 when she was interviewed on an episode of Monday Night Raw. Close to a year later, she made the first of several one-off appearances for WWE as the 19th of 30 entries in the first-ever women's Royal Rumble match. She also took part in the battle royal at the Evolution pay-per-view later in 2018 and made a second women's Royal Rumble appearance in 2020, per Daily DDT.

Kelly also made history on the "Raw Reunion" special episode of Monday Night Raw in July 2019 as she became WWE's first-ever female 24/7 Champion. As is often the case with this title, Kelly didn't hold on to it for long, as she lost the belt just minutes later to fellow Divas Division alum Candice Michelle, as recalled by TheSportster.

Aside from her occasional returns to WWE programming, Kelly made her film debut in 2020's Disturbing the Peace, where she played a character named Amanda. She also took to her Instagram on May 30, 2020, to share a lengthy post celebrating her engagement to boyfriend Joe Coba.
