Candice Michelle: Women’s Wrestling “Missing” Femininity, Says Former WWE Star

Former WWE Women’s Champion Candice Michelle says the landscape of women’s wrestling has changed dramatically, with more female performers main-eventing and delivering high-profile matches that rival their male counterparts. While she applauds the athletic progress since the Divas era, Candice believes that the shift has also steered many women away from embracing traditionally feminine elements in their presentation.

Speaking about the modern product, Candice urged a balance between athleticism and individuality, suggesting that female wrestlers don’t have to “do it the way a man does” to be successful. She called for performers to feel free to incorporate femininity into their characters and in-ring style without sacrificing legitimacy or main-event status.
