This year, Michelle McCool is the second member of the WWE’s Hall of Fame class.

During a segment on ESPN’s ‘Get Up’, McCool and her husband The Undertaker (Mark Calaway) were being interviewed in the studio when Paul Levesque joined them on video and surprised McCool with the news.

McCool was a participant in the first Diva Search in 2004, which was won by Christy Hemme but was signed along with many of the contestants.

After a brief tenure on the main roster, she was assigned to Deep South Wrestling and later, Ohio Valley Wrestling.

McCool returned to the main roster in 2006 and managed K.C. James & Idol Stevens (the future Damien Sandow) and Chuck Palumbo.

In 2008, she became the first Diva’s Champion when the title was created. That same year, she formed LayCool with Layla and was a popular act on the SmackDown brand. In 2010, McCool regained the Diva’s title, and the pair had a run as co-champions.

McCool retired in 2011 after a ‘Loser Leaves WWE’ match with Layla at the Extreme Rules event.

She has made multiple returns including participating in the Royal Rumble in 2018, 2022, and 2023.
