In case you didn’t know…
Michelle came to WWE through the annual Diva Search and even though she wasn’t able to win the competition, WWE signed her to a contract and she became a huge part of the Raw roster. Candice went on to become the first Diva Search contestant to win the Women’s Championship back in 2007, as well as being part of matches at WrestleMania and even posing for Playboy throughout her time with the company.
Michelle was never given a retirement match, which is why she officially announced her retirement from the ring last year following her match against Victoria at House of Hardcore in her hometime of Wisconsin.
The heart of the matter
Beth Phoenix faced Michelle on an episode of Raw back in 2008 where the former Women’s Champion resorted to climbing to the top rope and being knocked to the ground face first. Michelle was out of action for 14 weeks but when she made her return to the ring, she re-aggravated the injury and it was later declared that she couldn’t wrestle anymore.
Michelle recently appeared on Tedx Talks where she was able to talk about the injury that ended what was a promising career in the ring, just as she had finally reached the top.
What’s next?
Michelle has since gone on to become the mother of three beautiful daughters and stated as part of the show that the best title she has ever held is “mother” and the injury gave her the chance to explore what was on the other side.
