'''Candice Michelle Beckman''' (born [[September 30]], [[1978]] in [[Milwaukee, Wisconsin]]), better known as '''Candice Michelle''', is a [[model]], [[actress]], and [[American]] [[professional wrestler]] currently working for [[World Wrestling Entertainment]]'s ''[[WWE RAW|RAW]] brand''. |
|||
==World Wrestling Entertainment== |
|||
Candice Michelle came to WWE as a contestant for the [[Diva (professional wrestling)|2004 RAW Diva Search]]. Although she wasn't one of the final ten contestants to make it to the televised event, WWE hired Candice anyway and placed her on the ''[[WWE RAW|RAW]]'' brand under the [[gimmick (professional wrestling)|gimmick]] of a [[makeup]] artist. |
|||
Initially, Candice's role was limited. She was never given an [[angle (professional wrestling)|angle]] on ''RAW'' and she rarely made [[television]] appearances unless to participate in one of the program's occasional lingerie [[pillow fight|pillow fights]] or [[bikini]] contests that were held between [[Christy Hemme]], [[Lillian Garcia]], [[Maria Kanellis]], [[Stacy Keibler]], and herself. |
|||
On [[June 30]], [[2005]], at the end of the [[WWE Draft|Draft Lottery]], Candice Michelle was traded to the ''SmackDown!'' brand where she soon took part in an angle that involved a [[feud (professional wrestling)|feud]] between [[Torrie Wilson]] and [[Melina Perez]]. Candice quickly became Melina's rival when she befriended Torrie. On [[July 24]], [[2005]], at the [[Great American Bash]], Candice served as the special guest [[referee]] for the [[Professional wrestling match types#Bra and Panties Match|Bra and Panties match]] between Torrie and Melina. Melina was victorious. |
|||
===2005-2006: [[Vince's Devils]]=== |
|||

|||
On the [[August 22]], [[2005]] ''RAW'' Candice Michelle and [[Torrie Wilson]] made a surprise appearance. Wilson announced to the audience that she and Candice had been traded to ''RAW''. Torrie then announced that she wanted to welcome [[Diva (professional wrestling)|2005 RAW Diva Search]] winner [[Ashley Massaro]] to the team. Candice and Torrie then turned [[heel (professional wrestling)|heel]] by attacking Massaro. |
|||
From that point on, Candice and Wilson continued to taunt Massaro, bringing in [[Lisa Marie Varon|Victoria]] to attack her as part of their "initiation" for the new Diva. This continued on until [[Trish Stratus]] joined in to help Massaro retaliate against Candice and her two cohorts, who became known as the [[stable (professional wrestling)|stable]] Ladies in Pink, a/k/a [[Vince's Devils]]. |
|||
After a [[WWE Women's Championship]] match on the [[September 26]], [[2005]] edition of RAW, Candice and Wilson attacked Stratus causing a disqualification. This then led to Candice being stripped of her dress. In a result, Candice challenged them both to a Handicap Bra and Panties Match at the ''[[WWE Homecoming]]'' on [[October 3]], [[2005]]. However, Candice and her cohorts were once again defeated by Stratus and Massaro. |
|||
Candice began utilizing a [[Professional wrestling holds#Figure four necklock|Hanging figure four necklock]] in an episode of 'RAW' aired on [[October 24]], [[2005]] a hold that would become one of her signature moves. During the [[Tributes to Eddie Guerrero]] on [[November 13]], [[2005]], Candice participated in an interbrand Diva Battle Royal. The following week, Candice was able to pick up a win on her first singles match against [[Mickie James]] with the help of Victoria. |
|||
On the [[December 19th]], [[2005]] edition of [[WWE RAW|RAW]] which was a special "[[Tribute to the Troops]]" special for the [[holiday season]], [[Candice Michelle|Candice]] was able to go to Bagram Air Field in [[Afghanistan]]. During the tribute show Candice teamed up with [[Maria Kanellis|Maria]] to defeat [[Ashley Massaro|Ashley]] and Trish Stratus] in a "Santa's Little Helpers" match. |
|||
At [[New Year's Revolution]], Candice competed in the Bra & Panties Gauntlet Match and was the first eliminated when stripped by Maria. |

=== Playboy Covergirl/WWE Women's Championship Feud === |
|||

|||
On the [[February 20]] , [[2006]] edition of RAW, Candice was involved in a womens' over-the-top-rope battle royal to decide the number one contender to challenge Stratus for the [[WWE Women's Championship]]. When Torrie Wilson was sent over the top rope but not sent to the floor, she took advantage of Wilson's position outside on the apron and knocked her to the ground, eliminating her in the process. Victoria then confronted her about it and shoved her down. Despite all this, Candice won the divas [[battle royal]], eliminating Ashley and James last while they struggled in a headscissor takedown (which led to a real injury to Massaro when she and James landed on the outside of the ring). |
|||
It was announced later in the night that the following week on RAW, Stratus will put her title on the line against Candice and on the [[February 27]], [[2006]] edition RAW, Candice faced off with Trish, but lost in the end due to a Sunset Flip pin executed by Stratus. On WWE.com Candice slapped Torrie Wilson in the face for the blame of her loss. |
|||
===Feud with Torrie Wilson=== |
|||
The following week, while Candice was promoting the new Playboy magazine, Candice pretended to apologize to [[Torrie Wilson]]. However, when she gave Torrie a hug, she winked her eye to [[Lisa Marie Varon|Victoria]]. Thus, Candice and Victoria attacked her turning Torrie face and Candice still heel. |
|||
On the [[March 13]], [[2006]] RAW, it was announced that Torrie and Trish Stratus would face off in a tag team match against the team of Candice and Victoria at [[WWE Saturday Night's Main Event|Saturday Night's Main Event]]. However, after the match was announced, Wilson was found unconscious backstage, with a copy of Candice's Playboy Magazine left as a calling card. Wilson was said to have a concussion (in kayfabe), and [[Mickie James]] replaced her as Trish's tag team partner. Candice and Victoria would lose to Trish and Mickie. |
|||
Candice will be facing [[Torrie Wilson]] at [[Wrestlemania 22]] in a Playboy Pillow Fight. This match came about after Candice cost Torrie a match against Victoria by throwing pillows at her as a distraction. |
