Once Johnny Gargano made his surprise return to WWE several weeks ago, you had to figure it would only be a matter of time before his wife Candice LeRae would make her return to the company.

That wondering ended Monday when LeRae debuted on Raw, defeating Nikki ASH in a short match to signal her arrival. LeRae would later confront Damage CTRL, standing up to Bayley and then challenging Dakota Kai.

Like Gargano, Candice left WWE when her contract expired earlier this year. Unlike Johnny, she gave birth earlier this year, making her return to the ring even more impressive.

Widely regarded as a talented, well-travelled and excellent wrestler, LeRae adds more depth to a women’s division that had been sorely lacking in it just a couple of months ago.

Scott is a former journalist and longtime wrestling fan who was smart enough to abandon WCW during the Monday Night Wars the same time as the Radicalz. He fortunately became a fan in time for WrestleMania III and came back as a fan after a long high school hiatus before WM XIV. Monday nights in the Carlson household are reserved for viewing Raw -- for better or worse.
