LAS VEGAS, NV — Let’s be real—Michelle McCool doesn’t always get the spotlight she deserves, but that just changed in a big way. After years of laying the groundwork for women’s wrestling in WWE, she’s finally stepping into the Hall of Fame. And the best part? Her husband, Mark Calaway—yeah, The Undertaker—was right there to celebrate the moment. Honestly, it was one of those feel-good wrestling stories you can’t help but smile about.
WrestleMania weekend is always wild, but this year had an extra dose of heart thanks to Michelle McCool. WWE surprised her with a Hall of Fame announcement live on ESPN’s Get Up, with Triple H himself breaking the news. Talk about a power move! McCool and The Undertaker were just there doing the usual promo thing for their A&E show, WWE LFG, and bam—she’s now officially a Hall of Famer.
Now, if you’ve been around since the Divas era, you probably remember McCool tearing it up in the ring. She was the first-ever Divas Champion and held the Women’s title more than once. But even outside the ring, she’s kept her foot in the wrestling world. In fact, she recently joined the WWE LFG series as a coach—something that reportedly only happened because The Undertaker pushed for her to be included. Love that kind of loyalty.
Here’s the thing—Mark Calaway may have retired from the ring, but he’s still very much in it emotionally. McCool shared that even though he ended his in-ring career with the cinematic Boneyard Match at WrestleMania 36, he didn’t feel truly at peace with it until WrestleMania 41. Wrestling, man… it gets in your blood.
But McCool isn’t just looking backward. She’s hinted that she wouldn’t mind getting back in the ring one more time—just for the right match. She even name-dropped Charlotte Flair as a dream opponent, which, let’s be honest, would be a killer matchup. She also gave shoutouts to Liv Morgan and Alexa Bliss. Seems like she’s still got the fire.
There’s no word yet if WWE plans to give her that one-off comeback, but fans are definitely buzzing about it. Some might say it’s just wishful thinking, but given how wrestling works, anything can happen.
So, while we can’t say for sure what’s next, it’s clear that Michelle McCool’s legacy is finally getting the spotlight it’s always deserved—and The Undertaker wouldn’t have it any other way.
