Michelle Leigh McCool, born January 25, 1980, is an American professional wrestler currently working for World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE) on the SmackDown brand.
Michelle made her WWE debut as part of the first WWE Diva Search. Despite not winning the contest, which was won by Christy Hemme, Michelle was signed to a contract. Her first few months in the WWE saw her mostly compete in beauty contests. She was then sent to the WWE Developmental territories, Deep South Wrestling and Ohio Valley Wrestling to learn about the business.
Michelle returned to SmackDown in June 2006. Her heel gimmick at the time was being a "hot teacher". She was the valet for the team of KC James and Idol Stevens. The team, nicknamed the Teacher's Pets, feuded with WWE Tag Team Champions Paul London and Brian Kendrick for several months but were never able to capture the titles. That Thanksgiving, Michelle was hospitalized with an enlarges kidney and electrolyte imbalance.
By the time she returned to SmackDown in March, Idols and Stevens were sent down to Ohio Valley Wrestling. Her new gimmick was being an All-American Girl. She took part in a series of vignettes where she talked about loving life. She eventually became involved in a feud between Chuck Palumbo and Jamie Noble that saw her friend Chuck turn on her.
In 2008, Michelle McCool became the first-ever Divas Champion when she beat Natalya. She lost the title a few months later to Maryse and underwent an attitude change. In 2009, she won the Women's Championship from Melina. By winning that title, she became the first woman in WWE history to have held both the Women's and Divas Championship belts.
