Former WWE Star Doesn’t Think It’s ‘Their Time’ For Royal Rumble Return

WWE

Former WWE star Candice Michelle has said that she doesn’t expect to make her return to the company at the upcoming Royal Rumble.

Michelle was originally a contestant in the 2004 Raw Diva’s search, and while she did not win she was hired by the company later that year.

She is a one-time WWE Women’s Champion, capturing the title in 2007.

Speaking in an interview with WrestlingNewsCo, Michelle was asked whether or not she would be making her return in the 2023 Women’s Royal Rumble:

“I wish I was going. Every year, people are always like, ‘How come you’re not there? Why are you not in this?’ One year, they mentioned I was there but never called me. It just hasn’t been my time.

“So I’m open for it, I’m looking forward to the year when it’s my time, and I don’t think this year’s my time either, but you never know. WWE likes to call you the day before and say, ‘By the way, can you come down tomorrow? ‘ So I’m not planning on being there this year, but I’ll watch and support, and hopefully one of these years, it’s my time to be there.”

The Royal Rumble will take place this Saturday, January 28 in San Antonia, Texas.
