Candice Michelle Comments on Being Hopeful Her New Backstage Agent Role in TNA Leads To Her Making In-Ring Return In Company

As noted before, former WWE wrestler Candice Michelle signed a contract with TNA Wrestling earlier this month for a backstage agent role in the company.

A recent episode of the Insight with Chris Van Vliet podcast featured Michelle as the guest. One of the topics discussed included Michelle’s thoughts about how she is currently hopeful that her new backstage agent role in TNA will eventually lead to her making an in-ring return for the company as well.

“Being called to TNA as an agent, I think was a hope spot for me. And it brings me longevity. And when I can get in there and help these men and women win their dreams and their championships, that lasts a lifetime for me. And I always believe, like, when I teach my kids something, I don’t ever tell them to do something I’m not willing to do. And so if I get to have the opportunity to start over again and have a comeback, it will be one hell of a comeback.”
