Michelle McCool, who lost a Loser Leaves WWE match last night at Extreme Rules, is indeed leaving the company, she confirms via Twitter.
The angle served as a very real swansong from WWE for the first ever Divas Champion, who writes:
Thx for the love guys….I know there will always be rumors,but that was it – real talk! @mslayel ….nothing but luv 4 u! Luv u all…nite!
Word of McCool’s WWE exit first leaked online last week.
Michelle, for all intents and purposes, is now retired. Though there’s something to be said about ‘wrestling retirements’ & I’m sure, like Trish Stratus and Lita, we’ll see her in the odd appearance down the line.
Thoughts: It is hard to imagine a Divas division without Michelle but no doubt the division will continue to grow and develop, especially with Kong incoming. Good luck, Michelle, and most importantly, thank you!
