Michelle McCool discusses a possible return to the ring.
For the longest time, fans have speculated on the possibility of a in-ring return for Michelle McCool, as the former Women's Champion last competed in a singles match back in 2011.
McCool herself has commented on the possibility a number of times. In a new interview with Chris Van Vliet, McCool once again was asked about a return, prompting her to say that she feels like she could pull it off.
“I feel like I could too. My mind tells me I can. Sometimes I’m like, I can’t believe it’s been 20 years, which is crazy to say. But, I am 44 now. I do feel like I could, at least for a very short amount of time, I can get in there and do it.”
Later on in the interview, McCool was asked about her last match, which occured against Layla back in 2011.
“I was happy with my last match for sure, it's one of my favorite matches. I think Layla and I had a great match, I think we told a great story. Then, Awesome Kong coming out for her debut, which we only knew minutes before.”
McCool then went on to say that her daughter was the reason that she appeared in her first Royal Rumble match back in 2018. McCool also noted that her son hasn't seen her wrestle yet.
“I think, I mean, I don’t know. I did my first Rumble when my daughter was in kindergarten. We didn’t have merch back then and they actually presented me with a shirt, I’m like, ‘She can watch me wrestle and I get a shirt with my name on it now?’ That’s why I did it. Then, that little turd came to the show. She’s going around catering with my parents. She’s like, ‘Mommy, Joe from merch gave me a Naomi shirt.’ She puts the Naomi shirt over my shirt. I’m like, hold up, this is messed up. I’m doing this for you kid, show a little love. I did that for her to see me wrestle. My son hasn’t seen me wrestle, so, I mean…”
Back in January, McCool said that she's never been in "serious talks" about another run in WWE. Check out her full post by clicking here.
