Michelle McCool has decided to change up her look as she continues to enjoy retired life after a successful WWE career.
WWE career
McCool first got into WWE as a competitor in the 2004 WWE Diva Search. Although she didn’t win the competition, she did impress management enough for them to offer her a developmental deal and she went to training in Deep South Wrestling and later OVW.
She was called up to the main roster in 2006 as a heel with a teacher gimmick. She was later repackaged and achieved great success in 2008. She would eventually form LayCool with Layla in 2009 before retiring from the business in 2011.
The former WWE Divas Champion last wrestled in 2023 as she had a special entrance for the 30-Woman Royal Rumble as she was sitting at ringside with her daughter when her music hit and she was introduced as the 25th entrant in the bout where she climbed the barricade to make it into the ring.
Look
McCool eliminated Tamina and lasted 13 minutes before Rhea Ripley, the eventual 30-Woman Royal Rumble winner, removed her. McCool got the call from WWE just 9 days before the bout.
