WWE Royal Rumble is one of the most awaited premium live events of the year. Every year, 30 superstars meet in the ring for an over-the-top battle royal to decide a contender for a championship at WrestleMania.
The match is even more hyped because of all the surprise returns at the event. And, similarly, the 2023 women’s Royal Rumble match had one of the most surprising returns in a long time. Former WWE Divas Champion made her way to the ring, in one of the most unexpected and unique fashions.
43-year-old Michelle McCool was one of the surprise entrants at this year’s WWE Royal Rumble when she made her way to the ring in a unique fashion. While the countdown for No.25 in the rumble began, fans were expecting something else. However, as the countdown ended, McCool’s music and the name popped up.

While the men’s Royal Rumble lacked major surprises except that of Booker T, and the rest of the card was underwhelming. McCool’s surprising return was loved and enjoyed by the fans. The ending of the women’s Royal Rumble was also loved by all.
With fans wanting McCool to return now, it is now to be seen if WWE and McCool herself listen to the fans, and give in to their requests.
