Candice Michelle Thinks Backstage Role With TNA Will Lead To In-Ring Comeback
Candice Michelle provides an update on her future in wrestling.
Earlier this month, Michelle made some headlines when she signed to work in a backstage role with TNA Wrestling. In a new interview with Chris Van Vliet, Michelle revealed that she had first agenting opportunity with the company back in January.
“It did. It started in January, which was my first show, and he was so funny. He’s like, come and shadow me the first weekend, and the next weekend you’ll be an agent. All I can think about is that it’s wrestling, you know, we’re gonna see if you’re going to survive or not, and if you can do it or not and throw them to the wolves. I was like, Okay, let’s go.”
Michelle went on to say that she thinks her backstage role will eventually lead to her in-ring return.
“I think that this initial call was my hope spot, and I think it’s going to lead into my comeback.”
When asked if she is open to wrestling another match, the former WWE Women’s Champion recalled telling Dustin Rhodes that she had “the itch” back at WrestleCon in 2025.
“I was at WrestleCon, and I was doing an appearance, my promoter had Dustin on, and somebody said, ‘Go up to him and tell him how you want to wrestle again.’ I’m just listening to this voice, like, really? Maybe it’s because I’m at WrestleCon, you know, you see all the wrestlers, you kind of get the itch, you’re kind of in it a little bit. I was going to the Hall of Fame that year to watch Michelle be inducted. I go over to him, I was like, ‘Hey, I know you have a school in Texas, and I think I have the itch.’ He’s like, what? Oh no, she really does. Then to come to December and get this call from Tommy Dreamer, I was like, I just feel it coming. I don’t know when it’s coming, but it’s coming.”
Michelle last wrestled in 2017, defeating Victoria at a House Of Hardcore show. That promotion is ran by Tommy Dreamer.
Fightful will update fans when/if Candice Michelle makes her return to the squared circle.
