WWE legend, Michelle McCool recently spoke to TMZ Sports where she stated that women should be paid the same as men if they are headlining WWE PPV’s.

“You know what? I do think the women should get paid [the same],” McCool said. “A main event is a main event, whether it’s the guys, the girls, or the both of them in some mixed capacity, but I hope they do, and I think they should.”

McCool also spoke about the growth in women’s wrestling in general, stating:

“It’s so cool because when I was wrestling we literally fought tooth and nail to get—I remember my retirement match that Layla and I truly fought for weeks, begging for ten minutes, and that was with our entrances, so maybe like a six or eight minute match,” McCool responded. “For the girls to now be main evening is beyond words. What I can say is I think the story has a ton of momentum behind it, obviously. I think they’ll deliver and I don’t think it will be the last time they main event, which is super cool. … I think the WWE Universe finally demanded that the girls get the attention they deserve. I think women past, present, and future should forever be grateful for our super-fans.”
