Kay was involved in a WrestleMania match as the partner of Carmella in the tag team turmoil match, and she&#8217;s been doing a regular bit on Smackdown where she passes out her headshots. Meanwhile, James was labeled a legend out of the blue earlier this year, but she just worked on the NXT Takeover Stand &amp; Deliver pre-show panel last week.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\">\n<p dir=\"ltr\" lang=\"en\">Grateful for the memories.
