The wrestling world is buzzing after Michelle McCool dropped some major hints about her WWE future. The former Women’s Champion isn’t just keeping her options open—she’s actively hoping for a specific reunion that could send fans into a frenzy.
McCool Ready to Answer WWE’s Call
Speaking with WrestleStar, McCool made her position crystal clear regarding potential WWE appearances. The veteran competitor remains in fighting shape and eager to lace up her boots again. Her enthusiasm for returning to the squared circle hasn’t dimmed one bit since her last appearance.
“Yep, I always say I’m just a phone call away. I’ve actually been in the ring a little bit, feeling pretty good, if they ask, I’ll be there.”
What makes this revelation even more intriguing is McCool’s confidence in her physical condition. She’s been staying active in the ring, suggesting any potential return wouldn’t require extensive preparation time.
The Lay-Cool Factor
Here’s where things get really interesting for longtime WWE fans. McCool didn’t just express interest in a solo return—she specifically mentioned wanting to reunite with her former tag team partner Layla. The Lay-Cool partnership was one of the most entertaining acts in women’s wrestling over a decade ago.
“In fact, I would love a Lay-Cool reunion. I think Layla finally kind of get back at the scene. But look, I’m always down to fight. I’m always ready.”
This potential reunion could be exactly what WWE Evolution 2 needs to capture lightning in a bottle. The chemistry between McCool and Layla was undeniable during their original run, and nostalgia could play a huge role in fan reception.
Evolution 2 Speculation Continues
While McCool confirmed she hasn’t received any official contact about WWE Evolution 2 on July 13th, her availability makes her a prime candidate for the event. WWE has been known to keep talent appearances under wraps until the last possible moment, especially for special events like Evolution.
McCool’s willingness to participate in “anything they asked me to do” gives WWE creative flexibility. Whether it’s a match, special appearance, or backstage segment, she’s clearly game for whatever role they might envision.
One More Match Mentality
The most telling part of McCool’s interview might be her philosophical approach to retirement. She’s not ready to hang up her boots permanently, maintaining that special “one more match” mindset that many wrestling legends share.
“I think I got one more. I always say I’ve got one more in me…but yes, I’m good for one more.”
This attitude suggests McCool isn’t just waiting around hoping for a call. She’s actively preparing for what could be a meaningful final chapter to her in-ring career. Her 2023 Royal Rumble appearance proved she can still generate significant crowd reactions and deliver in the ring.
The Waiting Game
With WWE Evolution 2 approaching and McCool publicly expressing her interest, the ball is now in WWE’s court. The company has shown increasing appreciation for women’s wrestling history, making veteran appearances more meaningful than simple nostalgia acts.
McCool’s last WWE appearance generated exactly the kind of positive fan response that typically leads to future bookings. Her Royal Rumble entrance proved that her connection with the audience remains strong after all these years.
As July 13th draws closer, wrestling fans will be watching closely for any signs that WWE is planning something special involving McCool and potentially Layla. Could this be the moment that brings Lay-Cool back together for one final run, or will McCool have to wait for another opportunity to deliver that “one more match” she’s been preparing for?
