Taking to her Instagram, Michelle McCool recently showed off a new look. She now has short hair, possibly in preparation for any appearances during WrestleMania 42 weekend. In the caption, she wrote:

“Sometimes you have to literally cut off the deadends in order to grow”

Michelle McCool had previously teased an in-ring return to WWE

While McCool last wrestled a singles match back in 2011, she is apparently not averse to an in-ring return.

McCool has sporadically appeared in Royal Rumble matches, but has not been a part of the any major storylines since her last match in 2011. That year, she had wrestled Layla in a ‘Loser leaves WWE’ No disqualification match, which she had lost. After that she appeared at the 2018 Evolution pay-per-view in a battle royale, and subsequently in the Royal Rumble matches in 2022 and 2023.

With names like AJ Lee being back in action, there has been speculation about who else may return. In an episode of Six Feet Under, McCool recalled that Liv Morgan had conversed with her about a possible appearance at WrestleMania. She said that she was open to helping Liv Morgan or even Bayley, who was a guest in that episode:

“I mean, you did mention at the beginning, Liv did reach out before WrestleMania, so if maybe Liv’s in need of a partner or maybe you need a partner, I’m just saying I can go one time… One run. I love watching all the odd connections.”

Whether Michelle McCool does appear in the ring down the line in WWE, is a question left unanswered for now.
