WWE Hall of Famers and legends often tend to return and compete even after announcing their retirement. Recently, Torrie Wilson was asked about the possibility of an in-ring return, and she's ready to have another bout.

Torrie Wilson was a staple in the Stamford-based promotion over two decades ago and officially retired from in-ring competition in 2007 and was released the following year. She has made four in-ring appearances after her retirement in gimmick matches, but hasn't had a one-on-one contest in nearly two decades.

In an interview with CBS Sports' Shakiel Mahjouri, the veteran was asked about the possibility of an in-ring return based on her comments at Evolution in Atlanta, where she hinted she had her in-ring gear. Wilson explained that she's ready to return to in-ring competition and has another match in her. However, she wants to give it all inside the ring as an athlete and wants to make herself proud if she does return.

"I feel like if you've ever been in wrestling, the door is never completely closed. But people ask me a lot, like, do you have another match in you? I'm like, "Yes, of course." Like if something awesome came along, how can I not have that in me? It would take a lot more preparing on my end because I wouldn't want to go back and do something that didn't make people go, "Oh wow, she is an athlete, right?" So, I would want to make myself proud," Wilson said. (From 09:40 to 10:14)

The veteran stayed away from professional wrestling for a long time and made her return to the promotion when WWE had its first-ever Women's Royal Rumble match. She made another appearance at Evolution 2018 in the Women's Battle Royal match but didn't win.

In 2021, the WWE Hall of Famer competed in another Women's Royal Rumble match but was eliminated by Shayna Baszler. It'll be interesting to see if Wilson gets another match in the promotion.
