8 WWE NXT Call-Ups That Will Happen After WrestleMania 35

8. Candice LeRae

That WWE had planned on calling Candice LeRae up to pad-out SmackDown house shows before changing their minds a few weeks ago makes her an easy inclusion, and the company's decision to renege on that specific promotion shouldn't have any bearing on her post-WrestleMania destination.

Candice was ready for Raw or SmackDown from the moment she walked in. She's a polished, three-dimensional performer with a proven ability to get over, and looked decent in her main roster audition at Royal Rumble 2019. On top of this, it would appear that the developmental writing team don't have a clue what to do with her. LeRae is never featured in her own angles and storylines and has worked just three televised bouts since July 2018, though she's active on the house show circuit. That secondary role in the Johnny Gargano vs. Tommaso Ciampa saga worked, but the periphery is no place for a performer this talented.

How she'd fare is up for debate, as WWE don't always do the best job of presenting pure, white-meat babyfaces like LeRae in a positive light. Regardless, it's about time they at least gave her a shot.
