Gargano is one of the best performers to compete on NXT, showing refined skills in both sports and entertainment.

In winning the NXT Championship, NXT North American Championship, and NXT Tag Team Championship (with Tommaso Ciampa) he was crowned as the brand’s first Triple Crown Champion. Pro Wrestling Illustrated awarded Gargano Feud of the Year for two consecutive years (vs. Ciampa in 2018 and Adam Cole in 2019). Wrestling Observer Newsletter have also praised Gargano’s 5.5 star matches against his Feud of the Year opponents.
Candice LeRae:
The other-half of WWE's up-and-coming power couple, Candice first came to WWE fan's attention with a solid semi-final performance in the 2017 Mae Young Classic. LeRae proved to be a solid worker in NXT’s roster, however, following her appearance at the 2019 Royal Rumble, LeRae found the spotlight she deserves. Her recent street fight win against Mia Yim was a highlight of the Great American Bash 2020’s second night card. Candice has also proven adept at managing her husband to victory.
