Best known for her amazing work on the independent scene for 17 years, Candice LeRae is finally in WWE where she belongs. She competed in the inaugural Mae Young Classic tournament, making it to the quarterfinal round, before being eliminated by Shayna Baszler.

In January of 2018, the popular highflyer signed her developmental contract, and is now starting to be featured on NXT television more regularly as the friend-turned-foe of Io Shirai.

Since Shirai has turned on her, it looks as though Candice will finally have her first one-on-one feud in NXT, and it will be a great one. Candice also happens to be the wife of former NXT Champion, Johnny Gargano. If her husband's success is any indication, Candice will have a phenomenal career ahead of her as well.

He loves talking about wrestling, writing about wrestling, and fantasizing about working for a wrestling company one day. Aside from that, he loves all things pop culture: movies, music, and TV. He also loves to read, travel (even though he doesn't do much of it), and explore new things about this crazy ass world.
