Candice Michelle’s TNA Role May Be Growing After Backstage Appearance

Candice Michelle may be doing more than just popping up at ringside in TNA — and the latest update makes it clear her involvement is very much still in motion.

During a recent virtual signing with East Coast Autograph Auctions, the former WWE Women’s Champion was asked directly whether being back around the ring stirred anything in her. Her answer made it clear that sitting ringside for TNA Wrestling’s Thursday Night iMPACT debut on AMC wasn’t just a casual appearance — it hit deeper than she expected.

“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.”

Michelle explained that once she was back in the environment, the pull of wrestling came rushing back, making her seriously consider what a return — in some form — could look like.

“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.”

She later clarified what she meant by “opportunity,” revealing that she’s actively thinking about how she could best serve TNA, not just as a performer, but potentially behind the scenes as well.

“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.”

Michelle also confirmed that her presence around TNA isn’t slowing down anytime soon. She revealed she’ll be attending TNA No Surrender on February 13 in Nashville, followed by television tapings the next day — a clear sign her relationship with the company is ongoing.

“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 her renewed involvement with TNA came together in the first place, Michelle didn’t give details — but she made it clear there’s more to the story.

“I’m gonna be sharing that story soon.”

Between her emotional reaction to being back at ringside, her openness to both on-screen and backstage roles, and her continued presence at upcoming events, Candice Michelle’s TNA future looks far from settled — and possibly just getting started.
