Candice Michelle Remembers Her Rivalry With Melina
It tooked a little while before she got the main event push from WWE. In 2007 she went on to win the WWE Women’s Championship and she had feuds with some of the biggest names of WWE during the time. But after dropping the Championship, she never gets to win the title ever again in WWE.
In 2009 she was released from WWE after she picked up an injury that sidelined her from action for quite a while. After getting her WWE release, she was pretty much done with the world of professional wrestling. In 2017, she appeared on the independent circuit, and in 2019 she made a small cameo in WWE when she managed to win the WWE 24/7 Championship one time.
Candice Michelle who is also a former WWE 24/7 champion recently spoke to Steve Fall from WrestlingNews.Co where she talked about her time in WWE when she had a feud with WWE legend Melina and she talked about this forgotten feud. She said;
“She did not want this to happen. She did not want to drop that title to me. I came from Hollywood and I understood it. She came up from wrestling and wrestling schools and doing Indie shows, and to her, she put the work in more so than me in her mind. But she didn’t see the work that I put in leaving Wisconsin and going to Hollywood and the auditions I did every day. It’s the same thing, just from a different standpoint, right? So her hating that so much was very difficult, yet it pushed me to be extra great.
“I mean, there were times when we’re going into that match, I legit didn’t know if that was going to be a shoot match, or we’re going to have a match. Like I had no idea what we’re going to do, and I didn’t train in wrestling so I was like, I don’t know, we’re going out there to fight. I just know I’m going out there.
“I have an opportunity to go out there, so we’ll see what happens. We get out there and we put on one hell of a show. The next one would come. I’d be like, ‘What are we gonna do?’ It was like, she wouldn’t even talk to me and I was like, so frustrated. I’m like, I want to give it my all and be my best and I can’t work with this girl.
“What I just learned is that hate in that moment made me respect her because it pushed me. So after the fact years later, I just shook her hand, and we’re friends now, and I just said ‘You know what? Thank you for that because I’m not so sure I would have become the champion if you were nice to me back then.”
