Stephanie McMahon, Nikki Bella, and eight other WWE Women who share the same first name

#4/3. Candice Michelle and current WWE Superstar Candice LeRae

There have been times in the past when WWE has allowed stars to use the same name. AJ Styles made his debut shortly after AJ Lee was released, whilst Candice LeRae appeared in NXT several years after Candice Michelle retired.

Michelle was well-known throughout her career after posing on the cover of Playboy magazine and later wrestling Torrie Wilson at WrestleMania. The former Women's Champion made the decision to leave in 2009 and has since started a family.

Michelle did return to WWE since her release as part of the RAW Reunion in 2019 where she became 24/7 Champion. At this time, Candice LeRae was already making a name for herself in NXT.

Interestingly, both women have been able to keep their real names whilst working for the company, with LeRae already becoming well-known on the Independent Circuit before signing with WWE.

LeRae is currently taking time away from WWE after announcing that she and her husband Johnny Gargano are set to welcome their first child in the spring.
