Yes, ladies and gentlemen, Michelle McCool is much more than “just The Undertaker’s wife.” In fact, McCool was a very accomplished in-ring competitor, with four championship victories to her credit.
In the summer of 2004, Michelle entered the Raw Divas Search. She would finish seventh overall, with Christy Hemme winning the contest. Despite not winning the contest, the company liked the potential they saw in McCool, which led to her being signed to a WWE contract.

After training, Michelle would eventually make her main roster debut later on in 2004, during an episode of Smackdown.
In 2008, the women Superstars began being referred to as “Divas.” In fact, Michelle would go on to become the first ever Divas Champion, after defeating Natalya for the right to be named the inaugural title holder.
Of course, that wouldn't be her only title win. By the end of her career, Michelle would be recognised as a two-time Divas Champion, as well as a two-time women’s champion. She was even diagnosed with skin cancer and has come out suriving the disease. Respect to the deadwoman!

Jonathan Carpenter is a pro wrestling journalist at Sportskeeda. After obtaining a degree in political science from the University of Arkansas at Little Rock, he started writing WWE articles in 2016. Jonathan believes integrity is vital in journalism and ensures his work is high on accuracy. He conducts in-depth research and verifies information from various sources before curating a feature.
Jonathan has engaged in many meaningful conversations with prominent pro wrestling personalities like Drew McIntyre and DDP. He grew up in Memphis, admiring Hall of Famer Hulk Hogan during WWE’s Golden Era in the ‘80s. He has attended many pro wrestling events and credits The Hulkster for making his childhood memorable.
Jonathan, a big fan of Bray Wyatt, would like to see the latter's brother, Bo Dallas, continue his legacy as Uncle Howdy. If he were to work on the storyline, Jonathan would book the return of Erick Rowan as Howdy’s muscle. He thinks it would be a great way to honor the former Universal Champion.
When not writing pro wrestling features, Jonathan likes to collect sports memorabilia and has amassed a large collection of event-used and autographed relics over the years.
