13 WWE Divas Champions That Left The Company

By Justin Henry /

11. Michelle McCool

This was really the beginning of WWE Divas dropping out into retirement while still at their peak usage as performers. McCool had been a regular part of the division since becoming the first Divas champion in July 2008, and as late as WrestleMania 27, was working in a celebrity match with Jersey Shore denizen Snooki. As the wife of The Undertaker, she was probably in no danger of ever being released for any reason. As it were, McCool retired after dropping a loser-leaves match to Layla at the 2011 Extreme Rules, later citing a lack of enthusiasm for the wrestling grind, a feeling that she said had mounted for nearly a year before her decision to leave. Other than appearing in an occasional Instagram photo with her husband and some fans, McCool has remained out of the business for close to five years.
