Below are some top WWE news stories of the day, involving LayCool.
• Layla shared insights into the unexpected creation of the LayCool tag team during an interview on the No Name Wrestling Podcast.
She revealed that the pairing with Michelle McCool wasn’t the original plan. Initially, WWE had intended for Michelle to team up with Alicia Fox as part of a “mean girls” storyline. Layla was brought in as a temporary addition to keep Michelle and Mickie James apart until their pay-per-view match.
However, Layla and Michelle’s chemistry grew organically, leading to the formation of LayCool. Layla admitted she didn’t fully understand why their partnership clicked, but it became a significant success.
Interestingly, CM Punk played a key role in the team’s branding. Layla revealed that Punk came up with the LayCool name backstage, writing it down during brainstorming. The duo loved the idea, and the name stuck, cementing their place as a memorable WWE tag team.

I would honestly come back to do a LayCool reunion. If that is possible and that is something that could happen, why not? It’s a once in a lifetime opportunity. We had a lot of fans when we were together. I would love to reunite with my best friend just one more time.”
