Layla joined WWE in 2006 after winning the Diva Search competition. She spent nine years in the Stamford-based company and held the Women's Championship and the Divas Title. The 47-year-old was also part of the iconic LayCool tag team with the soon-to-be Hall of Famer Michelle McCool. However, the London-born star retired from in-ring competition in 2015.

Since her departure, Layla has not appeared on WWE TV. In a recent interview with Wrestlezona, the former Women's Champion disclosed that she would welcome an opportunity to make a comeback. When asked who she would like to face from the current generation of female superstars, the former LayCool member named Women's United States Champion Chelsea Green, Women's Tag Team Champion Liv Morgan, and Bianca Belair.

"I'd have to say Chelsea Green because of her character-wise and stuff like that. I would also... I would love to work Liv Morgan. I think she works great with everybody else. I mean all the girls are phenomenal; all the girls. If I were younger, I would've love[d] to face Bianca Belair, too. But yeah, all the girls are amazing. They'll kick my b*tt, I think, to be honest with you now," she said. [3:11-3:39]
