A former WWE Women’s Champion has teased a potential return to the company after nearly a decade away. Layla, who last competed in 2015, has hinted that she may soon make an appearance on WWE TV, possibly at the Hall of Fame ceremony.
Layla’s Iconic WWE Career and Retirement
Layla spent nearly nine years in WWE, where she became one of the most recognized female superstars of her era. She was part of the dominant tag team LayCool alongside Michelle McCool, and together, they became one of the most memorable duos in women’s wrestling. Layla won the WWE Women’s Championship and also had a reign as Divas Champion before retiring in 2015. Since then, she has stayed away from professional wrestling, unlike her former partner McCool, who has made multiple WWE appearances in recent years.
Now, with McCool set to be inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame Class of 2025, Layla has teased that she might be in attendance at the ceremony.
Layla Teases WWE TV Return at Hall of Fame 2025
In a recent interview with Wrestlezona, Layla was asked whether she would attend the Hall of Fame ceremony to witness her former tag team partner receive the prestigious honor. Instead of giving a clear answer, she teased fans, saying:
“Well, for one, extremely happy for Michelle. Well deserved. Glad. It’s about time for sure. I’m not gonna say if I’m gonna be there or not gonna be there. You guys are just gonna have to watch the Hall of Fame and ask if you, you guys wanna see me there? It’s been a while since I’ve been on WWE TV. So, who knows? Who knows?”
This cryptic response has sparked speculation among fans, as it would mark her first WWE appearance in 10 years if she does show up at the event.
Layla Open to a WWE Return Before Turning 50
Although Layla has stayed away from wrestling since 2015, she has not completely ruled out a comeback. In another interview with Nick Club Wrestling Happy Hour, she admitted that she is open to returning to WWE before turning 50. However, she made it clear that she does not want a singles run. Instead, she would love to reunite with Michelle McCool and bring back LayCool:
“I’m open to it, how about that? I’m very open to it. Before I hit 50, I am open to coming back. But, for me, if I come back, I really wanna come back with Michelle. I wanna be with people. I don’t wanna come back in the singles or like that. I think that LayCool would be a treat for the fans, I’d say. Hopefully, a treat for the fans. I wanna come back and work one more time with my best friend.”
Could Layla Follow in the Footsteps of Other WWE Legends?
Over the past few years, WWE has welcomed back several former female superstars, including Trish Stratus, Lita, and Torrie Wilson. These legendary women have returned for special appearances, Hall of Fame inductions, and even in-ring action.
If Layla does make a comeback, it will be interesting to see in what capacity. Whether it’s a one-off appearance at WrestleMania 41, a Hall of Fame speech, or even a tag team match featuring LayCool, her return would be a nostalgic moment for longtime WWE fans.
For now, all eyes will be on the Hall of Fame Class of 2025 ceremony to see if Layla makes her long-awaited return to WWE TV.
