WWE Hall of Famer Michelle McCool has been a hot topic among wrestling fans lately, especially after her recent induction into the WWE Hall of Fame. With the return of WWE LFG and rumors swirling about her possible comeback, McCool has finally addressed what the future might hold for her in the world of professional wrestling.
Coaching, Not Full-Time: McCool’s Current WWE Role
Michelle McCool recently took on a coaching role for WWE LFG, stepping in for Mickie James in the show’s second season. She worked alongside wrestling legends like Booker T, Bubba Ray Dudley, and her husband, The Undertaker. Interestingly, reports suggest that The Undertaker himself only agreed to return for season two if McCool was included as a coach.
Despite her success on WWE LFG, McCool has made it clear that she isn’t looking for a full-time WWE job. “I enjoy coaching, but I don’t see myself working backstage full-time,” she said in a recent interview. While fans hoped she might return to a more prominent on-screen role, McCool seems content with her current involvement—for now.
“I’m Just a Phone Call Away”: McCool Teases In-Ring Return
While McCool may not want a full-time WWE schedule, she hasn’t ruled out a return to the ring. In fact, she’s been training recently and feels ready for action. “I always say I’m just a phone call away,” she told interviewers. “I’ve actually been in the ring a little bit, feeling pretty good. If they ask, I’ll be there.”
She’s especially interested in a potential LayCool reunion at WWE Evolution 2025. “I would love a LayCool reunion,” McCool said. “I think Layla’s finally kind of getting back in the scene. But look, I’m always down to fight. I’m always ready. I have not been called, but I would love to do anything that they asked me to do. I think I got one more in me.”
The Legacy of LayCool
For those who followed WWE in the late 2000s and early 2010s, LayCool—the tag team of Michelle McCool and Layla—was a dominant force in the women’s division. Both stars held the Women’s Championship, and their partnership was both feared and beloved by fans.
Layla was recently in attendance for McCool’s Hall of Fame induction, showing support for her longtime friend and partner. “It’s an achievement for Michelle 100 percent. She deserves this on her own merit, her own career, even before LayCool was even a factor,” Layla said. “But LayCool will always be something that her and I share a bond that we’ll always be together till the day we die.”
What’s Next for Michelle McCool?
With WWE Evolution 2025 just around the corner, fans are buzzing about the possibility of a LayCool reunion or even a solo return for McCool. The event, set for July 13 at State Farm Arena in Atlanta, will be the first Evolution show in nearly seven years, and McCool’s comments have only fueled speculation.
In addition to her in-ring aspirations, McCool has also shared her thoughts on the greatest women’s wrestlers of all time. Her personal “Mount Rushmore” includes Mae Young, Chyna, The Fabulous Moolah, and Sensational Sherri—legends who paved the way for today’s superstars.
