Originally born in Milwaukee, Wisconsin of Panamanian and German decent this fetching lass has made a big splash in 2004-2005. Describing herself as a die hard "Cheese Head" Green Bay Packer fan, Candice is appearing with the WWE and appeared in one of the hottest and controversial commercials to hit TV. The GoDaddy.com commercial appeared during Superbowl XXXIX in 2005, with Candice appearing as the big busted "hottie" Nikki Cappelli, a woman who experiences a "wardrobe malfunction" before a congressional committee.

Candice Michelle has some impressive modeling and acting credentials. Highlights include work for Flex, Hot Rod, Max Muscle, and Low Rider magazines, plus a cover feature for Mini Truckin'. She has also appeared on the TV series Party of Five and 7th Heaven. Her resume also includes promotional gigs for Miller Lite, Bacardi and Prolab Nutritional Supplements, and runway work for Elizabetta Rogiani Beverly Hills and Marva Sew Industries.

During 2001, Michelle made the move to film work, though her early roles were sometimes hard to spot. She added some serious eye candy to movies like Tomcats (2001), High Crimes (2002), Confessions of a Dangerous Mind (2002), and A Man Apart (2003). She showed plenty more in a 2002 episode of the naughty, softcore porn show Hotel Erotica. In fact, 2002 was a generally revealing year for Michelle, who also appeared in the June Playboy issue as a Cyber Girl of the Week.

2004 was the year that the public finally put a name to her already-known face. First, she scored a job as a WWE Diva, modeled for the 2005 Lingerie Bowl, which aired on pay-per-view and appeared in Dodgeball with Ben Stiller.

Initially, Candice Michelle's role in the WWE was limited. She was never given an angle on RAW and she rarely made television appearances unless to participate in one of the program's occasional lingerie pillow fights or bikini contests that were held between Christy Hemme, Maria Kanellis, Stacy Keibler, and herself.

On June 30, 2005, at the end of the WWE Draft Lottery, Candice Michelle was traded to the SmackDown! brand for where she became involved in a feud between Torrie Wilson and Melina Perez. Candice Michelle quickly became Jillian Hall and Melina's rival when she befriended Wilson. On July 24, 2005, at The Great American Bash, Candice Michelle served as the special guest referee for the Bra and Panties match between Torrie Wilson and Melina. Melina was victorious. After the match, Melina seemed to gain some type of confidence and pushed Candice from behind. This resulted in both divas attacking Melina and removing her bottoms as well.

She was then moved to RAW in a trade along with Wilson, while Keibler and Hemme went to "SmackDown!" From that point on, Candice and Wilson continued to taunt Ashley Massaro (2005 WWE Diva Search Winner), bringing in Victoria to attack her as part of their "initiation" for the new Diva. This continued on until Trish Stratus returned from injury to help Massaro retaliate against Candice and her two cohorts, who became known as the stable Ladies in Pink, and later known as Vince's Devils, which seemed to be a play on Charlie's Angels.

On the February 27, 2006, edition of RAW, Candice Michelle would get her first WWE Women's Championship match while a part of Vince's Devils in a losing effort to then-champion Trish Stratus. After this match Candice Michelle would slap Wilson, blaming her for the loss.

The team would be short-lived after this as Torrie Wilson would soon become a babyface diva once again with Candice Michelle and Victoria turning on her during Candice's Playboy cover reveal. This feud between Candice Michelle and Wilson would become a lengthy feud which led to a match in which Playboy Magazine's then-newest cover girl Candice Michelle would face off against the 2-time former cover girl (Wilson) at WrestleMania 22 in a Playboy Pillow Fight. Wilson would win this match but the feud would still continue on-and-off when Michelle was working backstage segments with Vince McMahon, being his "sex slave".

On November 27, 2006 edition of RAW during the Women's Battle Royal, Candice suffered a broken nose when Victoria viciously nailed her in the face with a savate kick. She had surgery on November 30, 2006 to repair her deviated septum. She returned at New Years Revolution on January 7, 2007, as her and with Maria came out to fight off Melina as she tried to interfere in the WWE Women's Championship match between champion Mickie James and challenger Victoria.

Candice returned to in-ring action at a January 20, 2007 house show, teaming with James to defeat Melina and Victoria. Mickie and Candice Michelle did the same thing on the January 22 edition of Raw where she pinned Victoria in what was Michelle's official return.

In June 2007 Candice defeated Melina to capture her first WWE Women's Championship at the Vengeance PPV, becoming the first ever WWE Diva Search contestant to win the Women's Title. Candice retained her title against Melina in a rematch at The Great American Bash as well as debuting a new finisher called the Candywrapper.

At No Mercy in October, Candice dropped the title to Phoenix, ending her reign as Women's Champion. On October 22, Candice legitimately cracked her clavicle during her rematch for the Women's Title against Phoenix in a two out of three falls match; as Phoenix pushed herself into the turnbuckle causing Candice to fall off onto her head, neck and shoulders and was put out of action for 14 weeks.

Candice made her off-screen return at the February 6, 2008 Raw brand house show in Alaska. Candice made her on-screen return on the February 18 edition of Raw, distracting Beth Phoenix during a match with Maria. She returned to in-ring action on March 17, teaming up with Maria to defeat Jillian Hall and Victoria. During the match, Candice injured her left shoulder by tearing the scar tissue over her previously broken left clavicle. Unlike her previous injury, this time Candice broke her clavicle in four separate places, in essence, shattering it. Candice was replaced by Ashley for her scheduled match at WrestleMania XXIV. On March 23, Candice underwent successful surgery on her re-broken clavicle.
