#2 LayCool comes up with the Piggy James angle

After she made her debut on SmackDown in October 2009, Mickie James started feuding with the then-WWE Women's Champion Michelle McCool and Layla, collectively known as LayCool.

During the 20th November episode of the Blue brand, James defeated Layla in a quick match but soon after, the latter asked Mickie to have a look at the titantron. McCool appeared on the big screen referring to Mickie as Piggy James and sang her own rendition of "Old McDonald had a farm" with a caricature of the latter's face as a pig. The segment left Mickie James in tears and was absolutely scorned at by the WWE Universe.

In a world where bullying and body shaming are issues that people are fighting against, this turned into a full-blown storyline. While Mickie James did beat Michelle McCool at Royal Rumble next year to become a five-time WWE Women's Champion, LayCool won the feud. James was eventually released by WWE in April 2010. She has since made her return to the company but is currently inactive on WWE TV.
