Michelle McCool made a surprise appearance at the WWE Royal Rumble, entering the ring from the front row and joining the women's Royal Rumble.
McCool stood up from her front row seat and wrestled in sweatpants and her Uggs, proving she still had it by hitting a Faithbreaker during her appearance.
Speaking on Busted Open Radio, McCool explained how her appearance came together.
"I wish I had done that my entire career," she said about wrestling in her Uggs. "If I could have wrestled in sweats and Uggs my entire career, that would have been perfect. People don't know, I literally wear Uggs every day. I work out in them, I coach my daughter's sports in them. I wear them in the dead heat of summer in Texas. I love Uggs. I literally live in them. I didn't even think about not wrestling in my Uggs. There was a little bit of an uproar on the internet, power to the people, they kept asking if I was going to be there and I was not lying. I was like, 'Nope. I'll be there, but I'll be there with my daughter and watching.' She loves it, and it's right down the road, we had planned on going anyway because [Undertakers] show was the night before. I wasn't lying. 'They didn't call me.' I would have loved to, being in Texas, my home state. It was Thursday night, I got a call, nine days before the Rumble, asking me to wrestle. I couldn't even get ring gear made. I can't get in ring shape. It's a whole different ballgame. You can be in decent shape, but ring shape is different. I can't get gear made. 'Just pull out some old ring gear.' That's kind of all we have when we come back. 'Try to make a statement with your ring gear. I can't get ring gear made, what if I come out of the audience?' 'I like that.' 'Can I wear my Uggs and sweatpants?' 'Yeah.' Alright, done."
McCool said she customized her gear by putting crosses on her sweatpants.
McCool entered the women's Royal Rumble at number 25 and lasted just under 15 minutes before being eliminated by eventual winner Rhea Ripley. She scored two eliminations in the match.
