Candice Michelle Says She Will Be at TNA No Surrender 2026

Former WWE talent Candice Michelle made a surprise appearance for TNA Wrestling at their TNA Impact! AMC premiere show this past January in Garland, Texas.

A recent virtual fan signing event for East Coast Autograph Auctions featured Michelle as the guest. One of the topics discussed included Michelle thoughts about her appearance at TNA’s AMC premiere show and if she missed wrestling.

“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 also gave her thoughts about the ‘opportunity’ she currently has with 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 also revealed that she will be in attendance at this Friday’s TNA No Surrender 2026 event and Impact! tapings the following day in Nashville, Tennessee.

“I will be there with TNA on the 13th and the 14th. Two really great shows that we’ll be filming there.”
