-- Candice Michelle was unable to make her scheduled appearance at a K-Mart just outside of Los Angeles in Commerce, California on Thursday night due to injury. Although, she had no problems flying out to a party at the PURE nightclub in Las Vegas last week. Candice resides in Los Angeles by the way.
Anyway, fans were still able to meet two WWE Superstars in Layla and The Miz. According to estimates, the autograph signing drew approximately 500 people. See below for more details from the signing.

WWE News: On-site report from WWE autograph signing featuring The Miz & Layla
WWE held an autograph signing Thursday evening at a Kmart just outside of Los Angeles in Commerce, California with Layla and The Miz.
The event was part of a series at Kmarts around the country to promote WrestleMania. Several hundred fans showed up. Early estimates before the wrestlers arrived were around 200, but the official total was 500 to 525 people in line.
Fans were excited to see WWE wrestlers, but from those I talked to, they weren't particularly excited about the Miz or Layla in particular. Overheard: "It's not like it's John Cena or anything."
Candice Michelle was originally scheduled for the event, but she canceled due to injury.
The crowd was largely Hispanic, but there were fans there of all ages. Lots of kids and teenagers, but also adults, a few with their replica title belts.
They had a huge display, with the whole front of the store filled with WWE toys, shirts, DVDs, bedding, and more, as well as TVs playing the WrestleMania 22 DVD. I'd never seen John Cena pajamas before
Kmart officials also directed fans out through the toy section, which seems like a smart marketing ploy. During the signing, they had all the TVs in the electronics section playing the Edge DVD.
Fans at the front of the line said they'd been there since 6 a.m. One employee said that they'd had customers calling about it all day. The signing went half an hour late due to the large number of fans.
