It'd certainly be a buzz for Michelle to work one of WWE's big stadium shows, and she has experience handling crowds that size anyway. Three years ago, she wrestled for The Great Khali's CWE (Continental Wrestling Entertainment) promotion in his native India.

On 28 February 2016, Renee teamed with Katie Forbes to face recent WWE Performance Center recruit Santana Garrett and BB Bull Bull in the opening match of a four-bout card in Dehradun's huge Rajiv Gandhi International Cricket Stadium. An impressive 52,000 fans watched Michelle's work before seeing Khali topple Brody Steele in the main event.

This was a particularly cool moment for Renee because it meant she was one of the first women to wrestle in the country and for Khali's company. Who knows, perhaps she'll get the chance to top that experience someday by appearing on a WrestleMania card.

Why not? Michelle has already smashed some of her loftiest goals.
