Candice Michelle is teasing a WWE return at the 2023 Royal Rumble.

The former Women's Champ told 'Ring The Belle' that she's hopeful of a call from the company because this year's Rumble is in Texas - that's where the one-time "Diva" currently lives, so she'd be an easy booking if WWE needed to fill a spot in the 30-woman match.

Candice also revealed that she was previously set for a Rumble berth, but nobody from WWE's side called her to confirm it and she was left off booking sheets in the end. Michelle would love to put that right by attending this year's pay-per-view and getting one of the now-customary returnee pops on the show.

Candice said she's "so down" for anything WWE's writers want to do with her in the match. She wouldn't be winning it, obviously, but could be used to help get a new star over or work some retro spots with old pals like Torrie Wilson (assuming she was also booked).

Michelle's availability and the fact she lives in Texas could help her cause here. Someone tell WWE!
