Michelle McCool: No Serious Talks for Return, Hints at Royal Rumble Declaration

Michelle McCool revealed she hasn't engaged in serious discussions about a return to wrestling since her retirement. Recently, many WWE stars, including Charlotte Flair, Bayley, and Nia Jax, announced their participation in the women's Royal Rumble match.

In a social media post, McCool expressed, "REAL TALK - since retiring, I’ve never been in any “serious talks” with anyone about another run….not saying it wouldn’t be nice?!?! Confident I can go, so here’s my question: All ya gotta do is “declare yourself these days for the Rumble?!?" #FLAWLESS
