Former WWE Champion Reveals Change They Would Make If They Started Their Career Over

WWE

WWE veteran Michelle McCool has explained how she would have changed her in-ring look if she were to start her career over.

McCool recently competed in the Women’s Royal Rumble match at the company’s premium live event on January 28.

She was initially sat in the audience with her and the Undertaker’s children, before declaring her entry at number 25.

She was ultimately eliminated by Rhea Ripley.

Speaking on Busted Open Radio, McCool explained that entering the rumble in a normal outfit made her wish she had spent her entire career wrestling in casual clothes.

“If I could have wrestled in sweats and Uggs my entire career, that would have been perfect. People don’t know, I literally wear Uggs every day. I work out in them, I coach my daughter’s sports in them. I wear them in the dead heat of summer in Texas.

“I love Uggs. I literally live in them. I didn’t even think about not wrestling in my Uggs. There was a little bit of an uproar on the internet, power to the people, they kept asking if I was going to be there and I was not lying. I was like, ‘Nope. I’ll be there, but I’ll be there with my daughter and watching.’

“She loves it, and it’s right down the road, we had planned on going anyway because [Undertakers] show was the night before. I wasn’t lying. ‘They didn’t call me.’ I would have loved to, being in Texas, my home state. It was Thursday night, I got a call, nine days before the Rumble, asking me to wrestle. I couldn’t even get ring gear made. I can’t get in ring shape.

“It’s a whole different ballgame. You can be in decent shape, but ring shape is different. I can’t get gear made. ‘Just pull out some old ring gear.’ That’s kind of all we have when we come back. ‘Try to make a statement with your ring gear. I can’t get ring gear made, what if I come out of the audience?’ ‘I like that.’ ‘Can I wear my Uggs and sweatpants?’ ‘Yeah.’ Alright, done.”
