"You know what would be funny? If Cathy tried to make Rhea jealous and just started hanging out with Thea Hail. Get it. Rhea and Thea. Sorry, I had to. Lol," the fan wrote.

Kelley responded to the fan's comment. The WWE personality stated that she is "open to any and all ideas."

"Open to any and all ideas at this point."
