Retiring in 2011 after an unexpectedly prosperous seven year run in the organisation, Michelle McCool's LayCool unit with fellow Divas Champion Layla was a shining light during the division's darkest days.

Their divisive feud with recent full-time returnee Mickie James may be where McCool's attentions are drawn to for the benefit fans that remember the angle, though she may also look to snare a place in the Women's Royal Rumble the following Sunday. A creditable wrestler during a time where such talent was in short supply, her involvement in the modern league wouldn't be unwelcome.
