Former WWE Women’s Champion Returning For One Last Match, WWE Announcement On India Events

No matter how much a wrestler loves getting in the ring, life happens and eventually everyone gets to a point where they can’t wrestle full time anymore. In 2004 Candice Michelle was part of the WWE Diva Search, but even though she didn’t win the competition, she ended up joining the company and she went on to win the Women’s Championship.

Candice Michelle was released from WWE in 2009, but she recently made an announcement that’s sure to get her fans excited. The former WWE Women’s Champion announced that she will be returning to the ring for one last match at the House of Hardcore show in WI on December 2. Candice Michelle posted the following:

“Ask and you shall receive… Thanks to House of Hardcore I’ll be coming back for ONE last match in my hometown of Wi! I can’t wait to see you all there!#Homecoming #HouseofHardcore @thetommydreamer @reallisamarie you ready Sizzzz”

You can check out the poster for the event below.
