8 Things WWE Fans Need To Know About Candice LeRae
1. Her Epic PWG Résumé
Like any other new WWE signing, the best way to get acquainted with Candice LeRae before she makes her televised debut is to dip into her back catalogue. You may have seen her Mae Young Classic run or the two NXT battle royals she has competed in, but these don't quite represent her best work, so a little more research is required.
The World's Cutest Tag Team's first PWG Title shot from October 2013 is well worth a watch, as Candice and Joey push The Young Bucks to the limit, with the challengers exhibiting outstanding chemistry for a tandem very much in their formative stages. Their follow-up, from July 2014, is another must see. A classic No DQ-style bout, it's brutal, bloody, and violent, with Candice's face coated in a crimson mask by the end, solidifying her position among the toughest people in wrestling.
Her most acclaimed one-on-one bout came four months prior, when LeRae challenged for Adam Cole's PWG Heavyweight Championship. She was unsuccessful, but earned boatloads of praise for her gutsy performance, with her singles credibility going through the roof thereafter.
