Several iconic female WWE champions, many of whom are still active, have made a lasting impact on the sport today. Among them are former stars who have been absent from WWE for extended periods, those who occasionally appear, and others with the potential to make a significant return. These former champions hold the promise of shaking up the current landscape if they were re-signed and brought back into the spotlight.
Here are five former WWE women’s champions who WWE could consider re-signing.
5. Michelle McCool
Michelle McCool, who was honored with an induction into the WWE Hall of Fame in 2025, has definitely re-established her ties with WWE. She is currently a coach in season 2 of the WWE Competition Series LFG (Legends and Future Greats), guiding and mentoring upcoming wrestlers. Given her role, it’s reasonable to expect McCool to take on a more active wrestling role again. Her experience and presence would be invaluable for short-term storylines, especially those designed to elevate younger talent while showcasing her legendary confidence, much like her past involvement in Trish Stratus’ matches.
Fan Take: The potential return of legends like Michelle McCool excites WWE fans as it not only honors the sport’s rich history but also infuses fresh energy into current programming. Bringing back former champions can create compelling storylines and elevate new stars, ultimately strengthening the future of women’s wrestling.
