10 Things That Should Happen On NXT After TakeOver XXX

Despite being arguably the most natural babyface they've got on their roster, Candice LeRae has proved that she can be a convincing heel in recent months. Candice has been given so little by NXT creative over the last few years, with her heel turn only leading to further high profile losses instead of a committed push.

LeRae is one of the best wrestlers in the entire world and it's disrespectful that she's been written as just Johnny Gargano's wife for the majority of her run, even after a seismic heel turn, and needs to be separated on screen from her husband to truly flourish on her own.

Candice LeRae should absolutely be turned babyface again in the near future, as she's too likeable to keep heel once audiences return, but for now, there's so much potential for her as a heel and a natural feud waiting with NXT women's champion Io Shirai. The two women had the best TakeOver match of 2019, a masterpiece that should have launched LeRae to the top of the card, and going back to it with the heel/face dynamic reversed would make for an essential title match.
