LayCool wasn’t supposed to be LayCool.
The former Divas Champion Layla discusses her time with Michelle McCool and how LayCool wasn’t the original plan. McCool was supposed to be with someone else but they just gelled together.
While speaking with GoingRingside, Layla says:
“Well, I feel that with LayCool, it wasn’t supposed to be me and Michelle. It was supposed to be, I think, Victoria or Alicia Fox, I think that they’re going to put Alicia Fox but they put me me out there is a filler between uh… Michelle and I think Mickie James, our opponent at that time, I feel like it just grew naturally and Michelle and I just had a chemistry that was undeniable, and work ethic that was undeniable.”(Fightful/Transcript)
LayCool is held in high regards as one of the most popular women’a tag teams in history.
