Michelle McCool is set to enter the WWE Hall of Fame

Michelle McCool was once an integral part of the divas' division in the Stamford-based promotion under the old regime. However, she decided to retire in 2011 and focused on her family in the coming years.

Later, she made a few sporadic appearances for the Stamford-based promotion and participated in a few matches. She last competed in the Women's Royal Rumble match at WWE Royal Rumble 2023.

Earlier this year, The Undertaker and Shawn Michaels surprised Triple H with a Hall of Fame induction, which will take place ahead of WrestleMania 41 in Las Vegas. Later, Triple H decided to pull rank and surprised The Deadman and Michelle McCool.

Last month, Triple H announced that Michelle McCool will enter the Hall of Fame in Las Vegas as well. She retired from in-ring competition a while back, and it seems like the perfect time to induct her into the illustrious list.
