7 Women Who Left WWE Because Of Their Wrestling Partners
5. Michelle McCool
It can be argued that Michelle McCool was one of the biggest overachievers in recent WWE history. Despite not being anything too special in the ring, she was with the company for seven years and was constantly in the title picture for three years straight.
McCool was a plucky babyface when she became the inaugural Divas champion in July 2008, before hitting her stride as a vindictive heel later that year. Her two year pairing with Layla was either beyond brilliant or extremely annoying depending on who you ask, but either way, it led her to becoming a two-time Women's champion, a two-time Divas champion, and the first person to merge the two titles.
Of course, there has been plenty of debate over the years among fans about whether her success was a result of her relationship with TheUndertaker, who she married in 2010. In spring 2011, she requested her release from the company in order to spend more time with her husband at home since he was beginning to work a part-time schedule around that time and was no longer on the road as often.
The couple welcomed their first child in August 2012. While McCool has surely been enjoying the past few years away from wrestling and serving as a full-time mother, who's to say that a one-off return to the ring isn't out of the question?
