‘Before It Was Always A No, But Now It’s Like Why Not?’ – Layla Says She Would Return To WWE For LayCool Reunion

WWE

Layla has opened the door for a return to WWE, but only if it was for a reunion with former LayCool tag team partner Michelle McCool.

After first arriving in the company as a part of the 2006 WWE Divas Search, Layla would become a mainstay of the women’s division for almost a full decade before eventually retiring in 2015.

While she held both the WWE Women’s and WWE Divas Championships, Layla’s run in the company is perhaps most well remembered for her run as one half of LayCool alongside now WWE Hall of Famer Michelle McCool.

Speaking with Sportshadow Wrestling, Layla was asked about potentially making a return to WWE for the first time in over 10 years. While she admitted that she would have previously shut down the idea entirely, she’s no more open to it, but only if it’s for an on-screen reunion with McCool.

Layla said:

“Well for one, I’m so out of shape. Two, I don’t want to break a hip or something. The only thing I would ever consider or think about doing is if I would do a LayCool reunion. That’s it. If it’s Michelle and I, I’ll do it. That would be amazing.

“That would be amazing, well for myself, I’m sure for Michelle and I’m also sure for the fans of LayCool, who would love just a nostalgic moment. Of course why not?

“Before it was always a no but now it’s like, why not? If it happened and if WWE decides that’s something they would want to do, yeah I would do it I think.”

Layla was then asked about potential modern day opponents for herself and McCool should they reunite in WWE, to which she said:

“At first I solely like Chelsea Green because she’s hilarious and she’s such a diva. I think that would be great.

“But now I’m thinking that Charlotte Flair and Alexa Bliss, I think that would be a cool match. Or even if they bring back The IIconics too.”

While Chelsea Green, Charlotte Flair and Alexa Bliss are all viable opponents for LayCool right now, The IIconics, now known as The IInspiration, are currently signed to All Elite Wrestling, having departed TNA Wrestling in January this year.

Cassie Lee & Jessica McKay reportedly signed multi-year contracts with AEW in February, so any potential move back to WWE will likely not be coming any time soon.

Layla has not competed inside a ring since July 2015, while Michelle McCool was for a few years a somewhat recurring entrant in the Women’s Royal Rumble Match, competing in 2018, 2022 and 2023.
