Michelle McCool was one of the former WWE stars brought in for the Royal Rumble.
The former WWE Divas Champion had a special entrance for the 30-Woman Royal Rumble as she was sitting at ringside with her daughter when her music hit and she was introduced as the 25th entrant in the bout where she climbed the barricade to make it into the ring. She was seen wearing her Uggs, something the commentators mentioned.
McCool eliminated Tamina and lasted 13 minutes before she was removed by Rhea Ripley, the eventual 30-Woman Royal Rumble winner.
McCool stated on Twitter that she got the call from WWE just 9 days before the show. She credited fans for getting the chance to wrestle again. She wrote the following:
“Real talk….thank YOU @WWEUniverse !Y’all legit did this and I love you for it!I’ve never felt so loved Because of y’alls messages to @wwe & @TripleH the last 2 weeks, I got the call…9 days before the Rumble(I wasn’t lying when I told y’all I hadn’t gotten the call yet).”
