No one associated with Johnny Gargano could be considered to have a successful WWE main roster debut in 2022, and that includes his wife, Candice LeRae.

We should clarify: LeRae returning to the ring in September just seven months after giving birth is a huge success story in and of itself. But we’re talking about the Poison Pixie’s actual return on the show, which was disjointed and lacking in momentum. Candice has won some matches and was briefly aligned with Bianca Belair, but her start/stop pushes, plus being sidelined for a month, derailed any hope of her having a strong Raw debut year.

Still, LeRae could have a strong 2023 if she gets some focus and a good storyline.
