Former WWE Women’s Champion announces TNA No Surrender appearance

Former WWE Women’s Champion Candice Michelle is slated to appear at TNA Wrestling’s No Surrender event on February 13th, and has discussed her vision for contributing to the company’s success.

A Return to the Ring

Michelle confirmed her appearances at the February 13th and 14th TNA shows in Nashville, Tennessee, during a recent appearance at the East Coast Autograph Auctions. She also appeared on TNA’s debut broadcast on AMC, where she was introduced by Gia Miller and subsequently promoted upcoming TNA events on her social media channels.

Did You Know? Candice Michelle’s last in-ring match took place in 2017, resulting in a victory against Lisa Marie Varon.

Michelle articulated a desire to contribute to TNA in multiple capacities, drawing a parallel to her initial signing with WWE. “I always think of the story when I signed with WWE and they basically signed me to, they said, ‘Pretty-up the business’ back then,” she stated. “And when I signed the contract, I wanted to be the Women’s Champion, and so, as I have an opportunity with TNA, I look at this as a platform, and how can I best serve the company, how I can best serve everybody.”

Looking Ahead

Michelle expressed openness to roles both “behind the scenes or in front of the scenes,” suggesting a willingness to explore various opportunities within the organization. While her specific role remains undefined, she conveyed enthusiasm for the possibilities. She admitted to a renewed passion for wrestling, noting that being near the ring rekindled a feeling she hadn’t anticipated.

Expert Insight: Michelle’s willingness to contribute in multiple areas—both on-screen and behind the scenes—demonstrates a proactive approach to her return to professional wrestling and a desire to integrate fully into the TNA environment.

“Do I miss wrestling? I do. I do,” Michelle said. “When I came to TNA, I didn’t know really how I would feel and that first moment standing by the ring, I mean, it wasn’t even a second where I thought, ‘wow, I just really miss it’ and so, yeah, it’s got a deep place in my heart but once you get close to the ring, it seems to have a deeper place than I think I thought. And just perfect timing for me to come back and explore and be a part of the company and see what I can do there, so I’m excited for that opportunity.”
