On a recent edition of the “Busted Open Radio” podcast, former WWE Women’s Champion Candice Michelle discussed the injuries she suffered during her final year as a full-time in-ring talent.
Michelle returned to WWE in February 2008 after breaking her clavicle, but unfortunately, she broke it in four places during her return match.
Michelle kept trying for another return, but WWE released her in June 2009. She said,
“The truth is, wasn’t until recently I realized what really happened. I experienced a massive trauma — I was knocked out on TV, I had a massive concussion, broke my collar bone, shattered the collar bone, had a huge surgery, tore two ligaments in my ankle … and as wrestlers, you guys know we don’t want to stop. I kept trying to come back too early, just dealing with the physical element. I never even knew there’s a way to deal with it. Now, in my life, that’s what I do — I’m helping people deal with emotional traumas that get stuck in our bodies.”
Michelle returned to WWE on the RAW Reunion episode on July 22, 2019, and became the second woman to win the WWE 24/7 Championship.
