Former WWE Superstar Michelle McCool is teasing that we could see her in a WWE ring once again. After tweeting that she just finished reading Charlotte and Ric Flair’s new book Second Nature, Charlotte asked if she’d be up for one more match.
McCool, a former Women’s Champion who retired from in-ring action 2011, said she’s been “dying for someone to ask” and is impatiently ‘waiting by the phone’ hoping for the call.
– In addition to The Undertaker being backstage at last night’s RAW, his wife Michelle McCool and her daughters watched the show from ringside.
– After RAW went off the air, Rusev came to the ring to cut a promo on Enzo Amore and Big Cass. This brought out Cass, who cleared the ring and sent fans home happy.
– Trish Stratus revealed on Lilian Garcia’s latest podcast that she and her husband are expecting their first baby girl soon. Trish previously gave birth to a baby boy. Trish announced her second pregnancy back in the fall but is just now revealing the gender.
– Charlotte and Big Show are on their way to Afghanistan to meet troops. Footage from the trip will air on the WWE Tribute to the Troops next week. No word yet on if Vince McMahon is with them.
More information is coming out regarding Chris Jericho and Brock Lesnar’s backstage altercation from SummerSlam. While Lesnar was still in the ring and Randy Orton was laying in a pool of blood, Jericho wanted to know if what transpired was exactly how it was supposed to go down. Jericho asked Michael Hayes if Lesnar ‘went into business for himself’ and Hayes gave him an answer that implied Lesnar might have gone farther than he was supposed to.
When Brock came through the curtain, Jericho got in his face and wanted to know what the hell happened out there. Brock essentially told him to screw off. They got in each others faces and started shoving each other. Brock allegedly kissed Jericho on the forehead and said something along the lines of, “Either kiss me or hit me.” Triple H first tried breaking things up and Vince McMahon wound up getting involved and putting an end to it.
The following night at RAW, people were talking about what a badass Jericho was for stepping up to Lesnar and there wasn’t any heat on him over the incident.

Paige spoke with TalkSPORT’s GorillaPosition podcast this week to promote WrestleMania 31. The former Divas champion revealed that her “dream match” with Stephanie McMahon would be an Extreme Rules match:
“I would definitely want to do some kind of extreme match, because girls don’t get to do it. I would love to have a match with Stephanie McMahon. And any kind of extreme rules match, even if it just falls count anywhere.”
She also named several other legendary women’s wrestlers she’d love to get into the ring with.
“Bull Nakano is another one of my favourite wrestlers of all time, she’s incredible. Alundra Blayze, too – and I always thought Michelle McCool was an incredible talent, too. And Mickie James… I have a lot of people I’d like to wrestle! But if we had to do it now, I would say I would want to go up against Emma, in an extreme rules match at Madison Square Garden in New York. We were there recently and it is such an incredible venue.”
The following are highlights of a recent online Q&A update by WWE Hall Of Famer Jim Ross:
On Naomi’s WWE push getting cooled off: “You’re right in that I have no idea nor am I concerned about Naomi as she’s got too much talent for me to worry about her future. Let’s not over think it so, in other worlds, just wait and see what develops.”
On Michelle McCool revealing details about Undertaker’s life and if he will ever wrestle again: “Sorry but I have not kept up with it nor do I know Taker’s thoughts on the business. I also don’t know if he’s going to wrestle again. I’m happy that they keep their personal life private. No one deserves to know what they do in their private time or if Taker’s coming back to the ring.”
On if all of the independent wrestling promotions should work together: “It would be great for all if they would only trust each other and be willing to compromise. That, however, is iffy.”
On the reason Brakkus didn’t last long in WWE: “Jacked up body builder type with a marketable accent and look but no natural skills for the WWE level of pro wrestling IMO. He lacked the aptitude unfortunately.”
On if turning Roman Reigns heel would help him become a legitimate main eventer: “I’m giving Reigns the time that he has to get ready if the main event at WM31 is indeed in his future of which I don’t know. Nothing I’m worrying about in December for an April event.”

Next Sunday, the WWE will dust off the tables, ladders, chairs, and apparently stairs for its annual hardcore spectacular. This year’s event will be held in Cleveland, Ohio and will be the sixth incarnation of the pay-per-view.
This will be only the second TLC pay-per-view to not feature a WWE Championship match, as Brock Lesnar is still sitting at home collecting a paycheck. In the past, the WWE has used this event to lay the groundwork for the Road to WrestleMania while providing a sense of finality to various feuds with the hardcore element. With that said, here is a look back at the first five TLC pay-per-view events.
The Undertaker and his wife, former WWE Diva Michelle McCool took part in the CC4C Micro Marathon 4 Inspiration over the weekend.

Former WWE Diva Michelle McCool has responded to Limp Bizkit frontman Fred Durst announcing at a concert last night that The Undertaker is “not doing well” and asking fans to pray for him. (Original Story)

– For whatever this is worth, if CM Punk is returning to WWE at WrestleMania XXX tonight, nobody in the company is aware of it.

– The Undertaker could return to WWE programming for Survivor Series or the Royal Rumble, depending on his health. He had agreed to appear at SummerSlam in a tag team match alongside Kane against The Shield, but was injured when the nefarious group slammed him through a table in a post-WrestleMania angle and has not appeared since. Some creative ideas were presented to him when he met with Triple H last week, but as noted, his return will hinge on how he physically feels.

According to one source, McCool looked to be in great shape, so much so that many felt she looked better than when she was actually wrestling actively in WWE.
Reports claim McCool was in serious discussions about a year ago with WWE regarding a comeback. The feeling from her side is that now would be a good time to return because she could make it back on television in time to set up a program that would lead to a big payoff at WrestleMania XXX in 2014.
-WWE NXT Divas Paige and Summer Rae recently commented on Twitter about The Undertaker and Michelle McCool being at the WWE Performance Center this week. Below are their comments:

Josh Mathews mentioned Damien Sandow watching Del Rio’s match earlier in the night – but Del Rio said he doesn’t even know who Sandow is and isn’t worried about him cashing in his Money in the Bank contract.
