Candice Michelle Signs With TNA In New Role Behind The Scenes

Candice Michelle’s return to the wrestling world just became official. After weeks of speculation about her involvement with the company, TNA Wrestling confirmed on March 13, 2026 that the former WWE Women’s Champion has signed with the promotion.

TNA revealed the news through a video showing Michelle signing her contract, confirming that she will be working with the company moving forward. The announcement follows her recent appearances around TNA programming, which had already sparked speculation about a deeper role with the promotion.

During the video, TNA executive Carlos Silva welcomed Michelle to the company and explained that her role will involve helping the promotion behind the scenes while sharing her experience with the women’s division.

“Candice, it's so great that you're going to be part of the TNA team, be behind the scenes with us as a former champion, bringing all of that experience to all the women here at TNA. It's going to be great. We're just so happy. And I've got your contract here. I think it's got everything that we talked about, and we just look forward to building this together.”

Michelle responded by expressing gratitude for the opportunity and revealed that returning to wrestling is something she didn’t expect would happen again.

“Wow. Thank you so much. It feels good to be home with wrestling. I've been loyal with Tommy for 20 years. Loyal to the business, and I didn't know that this could come back. So to give me a platform so that I can help build this with you guys and be a small little piece of that and see where I can fit in there on any angle, it's really a dream come true.”

She also shared how the opportunity came together, revealing that longtime wrestling figure Tommy Dreamer reached out to her shortly after the holidays.

“It was on December 26 and my phone rang and it was Tommy Dreamer. I was like, wow, God, you work through Tommy Dreamer. Amazing. And it kind of scared the crap out of me because I thought, can I do that? When he asked me to come back and help behind the scenes, I didn’t know if I had that in me.”

Michelle explained that stepping back into the environment quickly reassured her that she made the right decision.

“But stepping foot in here, the company you guys have built from everybody, from talent to crew to makeup, I felt right at home. So I'm happy to be here. Thank you for the opportunity.”

Her signing confirms that Michelle’s involvement with TNA will continue beyond occasional appearances, with the company now officially bringing her in to help contribute behind the scenes.
