#4 Michelle McCool

McCool's entry would be a fun throwback, and the foundation is there.

In a fun bit of social media stirring up the rumor mill, 2017 saw Charlotte Flair engage with former Divas Champion Michelle McCool on Twitter about having one more match.

While McCool wasn’t necessarily a talent on par with the best and brightest female stars of today, she was one of the best workers and characters of her day, particularly as half of the wicked heel duo, LayCool. While there are those returning talents for whom WWE would need to worry if fans would actually recognize them and react, McCool was well established enough for the company to be confident in the reception she’d receive. All in all, it would truly be something for McCool’s “one more match” to come at the first-ever women’s Rumble.

While some alums are far-fetched for a return to WWE, McCool being married to The Undertaker doesn’t hurt matters. If she truly wants back in the ring, there’s little doubt WWE would give her the chance, if only as a nod of respect toward the Dead Man.
