For Candice fans and I guess, Diva fans in general, that gaudy, horrible techno mix of Candice‘s theme music is definitely embedded in your brains (unfortunately). One of the lines is “All eyes on me.” Well, with the former Women’s Champion’s pending return to the WWE – all eyes are literally on her and not in a good way.
Our partners at the Wrestling Globe Newsletter have the scoop (PS you can subscribe by sending a blank e-mail to wrestlingglobe-subscribe@topica.com):
Candice Michelle said that she expects to return to the ring next month. There is a ton of heat on her right now similar to which just caused Vince to fire Kennedy; the perception that she is always injured and a lousy worker. One source told us: “She doesn’t exactly help her cause when she’s running around in LA hanging out at bars and going to Dodger games… What happened to rehab and getting back in shape? There are guys on our roster with far worse injuries sucking it up and still coming to work.” On the flipside, one of her biggest supporters in WWE is said to be Stephanie McMahon.
If WWE can cut one of their top Superstars in Kennedy, I fully expect that they are willing to drop Candice. Her comeback is make or break, if she looks bad in the ring, if she messes up – she’s gone. WWE management will likely scrutinise her every move and rightfully so. She’s an average worker and she’s injury prone. In these tough economic times, WWE cannot afford to waste a paycheck on someone who can’t do their job.
Cut-throat, I know, but she’s had plenty of opportunities and my key gripe (regardless of how much I dislike her) is the fact that she can’t stay healthy. Next time, WWE should just cut her.

All I have to say is Poor Candice……Ah well I mean I do like her but seriously what Impact would take place if she did get cut..Lamo Nothing!!!!! If she does get cut then hell you might as well cut the rest of the Diva Search girls who think they are the hot stuff in the ring. (Kelly Kelly,Bellas,Maria,Eve) Layla and Mccool can stay. (despite the fact I dislike Mccol)
June 4, 2009 at 10:15 pm
wow. you really are being cut throat. Candice is one of my favorite divas and it hurts me to see all the hate that she receives. I happen to like her techno theme music, especially as a face, and I think she puts on a good show. I do agree that she has a lot of pressure on her when she returns. She needs to shine, and I’m keeping my fingers crossed that she will blow all of you away.
June 4, 2009 at 10:40 pm
eh TBH you could see this coming from a mile away.
June 4, 2009 at 11:00 pm
First of all, Kennedy wasn’t released strictly due to his injuries so people need to understand that.
What an idiot Candice is for wanting to let herself heel so she doesn’t have problems when she gets older and get addicted to painkillers like many other past wrestlers have, especially some who die far too early in the business. What an idiot. God forbid she go out and have a life while she’s injured. Boohoo, get over it WGN.
Besides, their site is full of shit anyways.
Plus if she has Stephanie on her side, which I actually think is true because Steph was there during her injury backstage and I’ve heard who she likes and dislikes, then I don’t think she has to worry about losing her job. I don’t know if she STILL feels that way though.
When it comes to Kennedy, Vince was pissed and the whole Orton situation was also another factor. His injuries were just a small portion if his actual release.
June 4, 2009 at 11:06 pm
MCH – The whole “What an idiot” tirade doesn’t wash with me. I believe that her injuries are her own fault; through not giving herself enough time to heal – she was in such a rush to return after the clavicle injury – she got injured again. She obviously isn’t as aware of herself in the ring as she should be, competent workers don’t get injured nearly half the times she has.
June 4, 2009 at 11:18 pm
i wouldnt believe that story either, i mean they looked at a tweet from her being at a dodgers game last night and then probably just wrote some crap! i mean right after that tweet is a tweet about her going to therapy, and the parts about them being mad about her going out sounds like crap, most of the stuff shes done has been some kind of charity work such as becoming a youth ambassador, wwe promotion such as the mtv thing, or go daddy promotion which helps out wwe cause it gives them contact with a potential sponser, as well as get one of their stars in the limelight more which wwe lLOVES!
June 5, 2009 at 12:29 am
I love this site i mean it is fantastic the features you guys use and create and the interaction with the visitors and all that is awesome.However there is one this about this site that i utterly hate, and that is the hate itself especially on Candice.I am a huge Candice fan and i am not afraid to admit it.Almost every post you guys do on Candice has negative comments about her.I know ya’ll are entitled to your own opinions but i mean come on it is just not right.I know she is not the best but she has come so far.Look at her when she started to where she is now.That is a major improvement in my book.Another thing people keep on saying is how she is injury prone.How in the hell is she injury prone.Just because she gets injured alot doesn’t mean anything.No offense to Triple H but he has been injured in the same spot more times then Candice has in any place of her body, wrestlers get injured no matter what.You said that all her injuries are her fault, well what about when Victoria broke Candice’s nose with that kick in that battle royal, huh? Was that her fault, no, it was nobody’s fault it was an accident and like the old saying says, accidents happen.Now i am not bashing ya’ll because ya’ll have your own opinion and Candice’s fans have theirs because everyone is entitled to it but i mean ya’ll don’t have to be negative every time.She is a human being to and she has feelings, why would you constantly want to put her down when all she does is for us.Now i know i am gonna be bashed for this but hey i wanted to state my opinion and i am sure that is what you guys want your visitors to do, right? Other then all of the Candice hate the site is perfect and i will continue to visit it and support it.Thanks for your time and if you do read this i just hope you don’t take it the wrong way as if i am trying to tell you what to do because it is your blog and you can say what you want but as a visitor i thought i could have the same right.Thanks again for your time.
June 5, 2009 at 12:36 am
I agree 100% candiland! These Candice haters really do get under my skin. But you’re right, every one is entitled to their own opinion.
June 5, 2009 at 12:37 am
trishrocks: Also, I don’t really consider the Wrestling Globe to be that credible of a news source. I mean, they reported earlier this year that Candice was having problems with her collarbone, which was untrue and that Mickie was being kept off of RAw due to weight issues, which was also untrue.
I’m going to wait and see if PWInsider or the Wrestling Observer reports anything before I start believing it.
June 5, 2009 at 12:53 am
If Candice is on Stephanie’s good side, then she’s probably on Triple H’s good side, which in turn will make her on Vince’s good side too. That’s a very very very long leash.
Unlike Kennedy, Candice has actually proven herself capable in the ring by being champion as well as winning Most Improved Wrestler award. Injury-prone? Yes. But at least she’s done more than Kennedy. If she wanted to stop, she could easily have done so and jump to modeling/acting gigs. But she chose to rehab and get back in the ring.
As far as her going to various events, Candice has obligations to her sponsors like GoDaddy for a lot of these appearances. She makes a living just like everyone else.
June 5, 2009 at 12:55 am
I hope she gets released honestly, she serves no purpose anymore nor will she when she return.
June 5, 2009 at 12:58 am
I hope her return is a flop. I want her gone. Plain and simple. Friday Night SmackDown! has been doing perfectly fine with her absence. She’s no longer a required individual.
June 5, 2009 at 12:59 am
also another thing about candice being so bad and all, well the thing is 1) cena said that she was his favorite diva which is huge props cause of his status and 2) jr is always positve on her so just more to sort of reject this report
June 5, 2009 at 1:01 am
I agree with candiland the Candice hating is getting on my nerves and its all because she came from the diva search Trish did a ton of appearances when when she was injured no one complained about that It dessapoints me that this website is so quick to believe rumors about Candice and Melina I could understand if were both being reported as being B****es to fans but I couldn’t find any dirt on them.
June 5, 2009 at 1:22 am
as I said before I dont hate Candice I am a fan of hers but not that big. At some points I do look foward to her return but if you really look at where will she fit in ?. I mean seriously she is suppose to turn heel.From what I have heard she was suppose to fued with Melina for the title.I dont wanna see candice get cut but if she does it wont have a big impact on the womens divison.
Everyone is entitled to their own opinion just like how I strongly dislike Mccool some of you guys dislike candice. In which her theme songs isnt that annoying. Unless you hear move ya body 15 times in 30 seconds Lamo. JK JK
To be honest Candice isnt really that bad of a wrestler and its sad to see people hate Candice b cuz she botches and is always injured. But then Michelle Mccool gets all the credit b cuz she Imporved big whoop and people want her to be champion.But its all good I will be so happy when Michelle is in this same position all I will do is shake my head.
June 5, 2009 at 1:39 am
I agree, the Candice hating sucks. I don’t think she is THAT bad. I love Maryse, but I think Candice is better than her. She has put way better matches then Maryse too.
The theme song is not bad either, I think it’s the part that repeats over and over that annoys people.
Another thing I noticed was that they keep saying she hurts herself all the time. But I just remember her accidently getting kicked in the nose, and accidently braking her clavicle. People make it sound like she has a long list of injuries on her.
June 5, 2009 at 2:03 am
If the SD writers were able to somehow put Great Khali in a storyline, I’m sure fitting Candice back in the fold won’t be too hard.
KatieLeaRocks: Sure everyone is entitled to their opinion, but why did you feel the need to take a cheap shot at Michelle McCool? Isn’t it hypocritical for you to say others shouldn’t be negative towards a Diva when you yourself are being negative to one yourself?
June 5, 2009 at 2:38 am
I felt that I should take a cheap shot at michelle b cuz i honestly think it isnt fair that some pople bash on candice for all her mistakes in the past while michelle gets all the praise b cuz she imporved the chick still has no personality .Your right people shoudnt say negative things about other divas. BUt what im trying to say is people r bashing candice for all the wrong reasons.Its not fair that some people dont wanna give candice any credit.Saying her music is horrible. Saying she is injury prone.All this other stuff. But nobody is whinning about Michelle Mccool who walks around wwe with her head held up so damn high.So,spiffy if you didnt get my point then Im sorry.I think candice does deserve credit for the things she has done. She is a better heel and face than Michelle will ever be.Yeah so for the person who decided to take a cheap shot at candice and say her music is Gaudy and Horrible. Um yeah that shows ignorance.
Oh and yeah if I get banned from this website b cuz of my comment then that just shows more Ignorance
June 5, 2009 at 3:01 am
I lol’d at half the comments here..especially trishrocks.
June 5, 2009 at 3:37 am
you might be lol’ing at me but most agree with me.
and to prove my statements, heres her last 2 posts from twitter
Joining the mentoring program and the Los Angeles Youth Network where I’ve become Ambassador!

Rise n shine…at therapy again, can’t wait til this is over! Phew!
about 10 hours ago from txt
im soo sure the wwe hates that candice is mentoring at a youth network, i bet they just hate her even more :/
June 5, 2009 at 5:13 am
i think of they wanna cut divas they should go with rosa, tiffany and the bellas and maria first……..all those divas are useless in their current rolls …if not release they should just get dropped to train in fcw til they get to the level of natalya mickie melina michelle beth etc…and when all is done move the least used divas to ecw with katie and natalya….candice and jillian should be moved to ecw….they can go there as faces….jillian can drop the singing gimmick and have a new one with candice and copy tna’s beautiful people candice and jillian….jillians the talent cadince is the looks….raw has the right divas they just gotta build them all up more….smackdown is perfect where they are…adding candice and maria to the mix would kinda bring them down…..
oh and i agree with candiland i love this website….i never thought there were so much hardcore diva fans i love coming on here everyday to see what fans have to say….
June 5, 2009 at 6:26 am
Eh, to be honest, I don’t care what happens. She’s just kind of there to me, I don’t like or dislike her.
June 5, 2009 at 6:56 am
I agree TaylorJade, She can debut or she can get fired it doesn’t matter to me.
June 5, 2009 at 7:08 am
JR mentioned in his blog that there’s no backstage heat on Candice.
June 5, 2009 at 3:08 pm
Wow people are really taking this way too personally. I think its just cause Kennedy got fired that people think the same will happen Candice, which is a valid point. If WWE can get rid of Kennedy, who had the backing of Vince for most his career, I dont think they would think twice bout giving Candice the pink slip. Tbh it wouldnt be the greatest loss in the world but I do think she deserves a chance to come back and prove she can wrestle without getting injured. But really one more injury and I can see her going.
@ KatieLeaRocks – I really agree with spiffy, your cheap shot at McCool was hypocritical. How can you moan about people taking cheap shots at Candice when you just blatently did the same to McCool.
June 5, 2009 at 3:32 pm
I don’t why this is being seen as Candice hate. If any other Diva was in this situation, we would say the same thing. People need to get a grip. Seriously.
June 5, 2009 at 5:05 pm
@ Steven – i would actually have to disagree because in every post i have seen about Candice here has negative comments on it.Almost all the other divas get good comments except the occasional criticism but ya’ll just hate Candice for some reason and really it is just wrong.Like i said i love the website and everything that comes along with it but it just makes me mad that Candice is the only one everyone has something bad to say about.And just to point out the second time Candice injured her clavicle was not her fault.She wanted to get back in the ring because she is dedicated to her job, which is something what she loves.Instead of being praised for her dedication she gets called injury prone and stupid for her decisions.People just don’t realize how much their words can hurt and just blurt them out because they want to.I mean if you hate her then that is fine but i mean you don’t have to criticize her every move.I know you guys are being honest in your opinions and i respect that but seriously it makes ya’ll look like haters even though i know you guys are not hates, to some others the comments ya’ll make may make you seem like you are.Again i hope i don’t come off like a person telling you what to do because that is the farthest thing i want to seem like but i just have to make my point known and i hope ya’ll understand that.Thanks for your time and good luck with the site.
June 5, 2009 at 5:07 pm
Oh and when i said “Instead of being praised for her dedication she gets called injury prone and stupid for her decisions” i wasn’t talking about ya’ll i was talking about others in general, nobody here, sorry for any misunderstanding.
June 5, 2009 at 7:40 pm
@ Litaker61: True, but Kennedy did generate alot of negative publicity for WWE when he spoke out against steroid use and how the WWE Wellness policy has curbed the use of steroid use only to be indicted as one of the clients in the Signature Pharmacy scandal. He constantly puts his foot in the mouth with his statements regarding the steroid issue in wrestling and WWE’s Wellness policy. Not to mention the recent allegations that he got Hardcore Holly fired for taking non-prescribed painkillers, which he took from Kennedy’s bag. And then the fact that he almost seriously injured their #1 Heel in Randy Orton last Monday.
Aside from injury issue that’s where the similarities between Candice and Kennedy end. Candice is the only WWE Diva with any mainstream exposure via her work with Go Daddy and with her being recently named the ambassador to the Los Angeles Youth Network, can give WWE some positive PR as well.
June 5, 2009 at 10:54 pm
See this is excatly my point its okay to take Cheap shots on Candice. But when it comes to Mccool all hell breaks loose people are ready to jump down people throats.-sigh- Such a shame
June 6, 2009 at 1:44 am
Candice, McCool, Maria,.. They all get bashed. It has happened on this site too.
June 6, 2009 at 8:08 am
I for one don’t see Candice Michelle going anywhere anytime soon and the fact that people aready casting her out is ridiculous.
June 6, 2009 at 6:25 pm
Im a Fan of Candice, for all the haters think, Look at Candice when she first came into WWE, she was only a model, she didnt have any athletic background like Kelly has. Candice was only a model and came into WWE worked her ass off nigtime and IMO is much better than Kelly and Maria combined. WWE must believe in Candice cuz she was womens champ which i hope she will be again soon.
the bad thing for Candice is when in th ring after a while she gets clumsy and slips and boom shes broken
shes left a long time for her ankle to heel but hopefully for her clavicle to heel too. I hope shes comes back injury free and proves to all her haters she is abck and better than ever!
