"She plays a Queen, I am the Queen" - Michelle McCool takes a massive shot at WWE Royal Rumble participant
Former WWE Women's Champion Michelle McCool has opened up about her issue with Charlotte Flair.
The two stars are set to compete in this year's upcoming Women's Royal Rumble match. Charlotte will make history by becoming the first woman to compete in the prestigious bout as the reigning SmackDown Women's Champion.
During her recent appearance on Busted Open Radio, Michelle McCool stated that she wants to "mix it up with" The Queen and that her daughter often confuses Charlotte Flair for her.
“I would like to mix it up with Charlotte because whether or not she knows I kind of have a bone to pick with her because every time she’s on our TV, my little two-year-old goes mommy, mommy, and I’m like, that is not Mommy. Mommy is right here. She plays a Queen. I am the Queen,” said McCool.

Michelle McCool says she's been training hard ahead of her WWE Royal Rumble appearance
The former Divas Champion will be entering the Women's Rumble match for only the second time. The multi-woman bout made its debut back in 2018 and saw the return of many legends, including McCool. Her last match took place at the Evolution pay-per-view event where she competed in the 20-woman battle royal.
She also spoke about her training going into the Rumble. The former champion emphasized that she has been working hard to get in shape ahead of her-ring return. McCool also described the arduous nature of competing inside the squared circle.
“You know, there’s nothing like a little three-week fight camp to get you back in the ring. But you also know there’s nothing like, ‘ring ready,’ I mean, if you’re not training in the ring. But I feel good. (...) Mark has been there by my side, working out most of the time, but by my side encouraging me. So I have been training hard, I feel good physically and I feel good mentally. You know, hitting the ropes, and hitting the mat are a whole different ball game,” said McCool. (H/T Wrestling Inc)
