WWE wanted to pull off a big-time TV rating by gathering all the legendary names on TV including Candice Michelle if one should include her in that category. The company did offer a lot of promotions for the Legends Night by advertising a lot of names, but not all of them showed up. So some ought to believe if there were false promotions.
They promoted former mid-carder Carlito to be on the show to appear, and they also did the same Candice Michelle. But both of them were excluded from the Legends Night. Torrie Wilson, Molly Holly, and Melina were the only divas from the Ruthless Aggression Era to show up while the fans expected some more to be on the building.
Many fans did express their disappointment over that. While speaking to Wrestling Inc, Candice Michelle revealed the reason behind her absence saying that she didn’t make the cut for Legends Night. For some reason, WWE sent out her name along with the promotional materials while in reality, she wasn’t called for the show.

Candice Michelle Accuses WWE Of False Promotions For Raw Legends Night
Her name appeared so often in the promotional materials but Candice Michelle was actually part of a false promotion for the Legends Night.
“The truth is I just simply didn’t make the cut, but I always make the headline. It really did take me back to the Super Bowl. I get cut from the Super Bowl, but I still make the headline. I come into WWE, and I win the 24/7 Championship. And people are like, ‘Why does she get it? How does that work?’ But the reality is it’s all the work behind the scenes, and I wanted to come on here and have some big answer for you guys, but I was just never called.”
“It was falsely promoted. I was never asked to be there. I would have loved to be there. I love WWE anytime they call me, super honored to go there and be called a legend. And as we know, for whatever rhyme or reason, I just wasn’t meant for that show, but having you kind of feature me on your site is kind of better because I’d probably be on the stage doing nothing with 30 other people who are much more famous than I am, and now I get to come on here and actually just have a nice little moment with you guys and talk about how we all get cut in life.”

As you can see from the comments, Candice Michelle would have loved to be out there, but WWE didn’t even ask her to be on the show. It’s always a good time for those old veteran players to return on the Monday Nights, catch up with old buddies and have some fun, together.
So this appears to be an interesting situation where Candice Michelle was never officially invited and now that news is out. Who knows if the former Vince’s Devils member ends up going into the bad books of the company for letting the secret out. WWE did manage to bring a ton of familiar faces from the past to show up on Raw Legends Night including Goldberg who will now challenge for the WWE Championship at Royal Rumble.
