Candice Michelle On Her TNA Role: “Whether I’m Behind The Scenes Or In Front Of The Scenes, I’m Looking Forward To Hopefully A Little Bit Of Both”
Candice Michelle appeared in the front row for the TNA premiere episode of Thursday Night iMPACT! on AMC on January 15th as a spectator. Since that day, Michelle has been promoting TNA events, however, no official news of her joining the company has come out.
Candice has been hinting at a role in the company, but has not revealed anything yet – it seems that will be changing very soon.
East Coast Autograph Auctions hosted a virtual signing with former WWE Women’s Champion Candice Michelle. She was asked if she missed wrestling and then began speaking about being seated in the front row for the debut of TNA Wrestling’s Thursday Night iMPACT on AMC.
“Do I miss wrestling? I do. I do. 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.”
Michelle elaborated on the ‘opportunity’ comment she made. She said she’s trying to brainstorm how she can best serve TNA.
“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, 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. The talent that’s there, whether I’m behind the scenes or in front of the scenes so, I’m looking forward to hopefully a little bit of both. But we’ll see what happens.”
Candice confirms her participation in this weekends events.
“I will be there with TNA on the 13th and the 14th. Two really great shows that we’ll be filming there.”
When asked how she got ‘the gig’ with TNA, Michelle responded with the following:
“Um, I’m gonna be sharing that story soon,” she smiled.
