Reports are just surfacing now that Candice Michelle may have been released from the WWE because of issues with her weight! The Diva showed up backstage at tapings after nursing an injury and apparently didn’t meet the Diva standard. As with any injury that keeps you out of the ring I guess it’s expected that you would not be in optimum shape during recovery. It seems a little extreme to not give her the chance to bounce back. Sounds like the WWE was being a little bit harsh. But who knows - the rumors will always fly but we will never know for sure. Sounds like a lot of pressure.

Candice Michelle isn’t going quietly and the WWE is not happy. The now former WWE Diva took to the blog on WWE Universe to set a few things straight, tell everyone how happy she is to start her next chapter and sound off about her departure. This blog was removed and her account was disabled a short time later….harsh.

Yours Truly,

Candice Michelle

“Defining Beauty”…in every sense of the word!

Candice Michelle just cant seem to catch a break- She has suffered yet another injury that has kept her on the sidelines and apparently the WWE was not happy. The Diva was RELEASED FROM HER CONTRACT! Unfortunately this comes after a long string of bad luck for Candice. In 2007, Candice suffered injuries after falling face first in the ring during a match. In 2008 she shattered her clavicle in 4 places. Right now she is dealing with an ankle injury and it looks like she’ll be limping away from the WWE. Guess every good Diva needs to learn how to fall both in the ring and out.

Candice Michelle has been twittering up a storm lately. The Diva recently tweeted about being backstage at raw and just recently at some MTV Movie Awards Parties. She is also apparently working on a new website saying, “I will keep u posted on launch date for the new and improved Candicemichelle.com by godaddy! I’m thinking around a month.” You can follow Candice here.

Candice Michelle took to her blog on WWE Universe to speak about her upcoming move to Smackdown. “I am sooo excited!” Michelle wrote. “I was secretly wishing that I would be drafted this year to Smackdown. It has been a bumpy and unfortunate year for me with my injuries so I think Smackdown is the fresh start that I need to rev my engines. To top things off how exciting that the Woman’s Championship also went to Smackdown. I’ll be back soon and my eyes are back on the prize!”
