Michael Cole couldn't stop botching the name of a 39-year-old veteran at WWE Evolution. On multiple occasions in succession, he mistook her for another retired legend despite Wade Barrett calling him out on it.
At WWE Evolution 2025, we saw a Women's Battle Royal featuring 20 stars from RAW, SmackDown, and NXT, as well as the incredible Nikki Bella, who made it to the Final four of the battle royal. One of the many names from SmackDown was Candice LeRae, who has been spotted with DiY lately more than she has in the women's division.
Either way, Michael Cole couldn't stop botching her name as he repeatedly referred to the 39-year-old Candice LeRae as "Candice Michelle".
