Candice LeRae had a decent NXT career and was a one-time NXT Tag Team Champion with Indi Hartwell when they were a part of The Way stable. Candice LeRae is an underrated in-ring worker and we are glad that she is getting to showcase her skills on the main roster now.

Candice LeRae has aligned herself with the RAW Women’s Champion since her debut, and on the latest edition of WWE RAW, she teamed up with Bianca Belair for a Women’s Tag Team Match against Dakota Kai and Iyo Sky. At the ringside, Belair and LeRae lost the bout as Bianca Belair was dealing with Bayley at the ringside.

Le Rae’s contract had expired in May of this year, but she had been on maternity leave since July of last year. She didn’t choose to renew it, doing the same thing as her husband, Johnny Gargano, who hadn’t renewed his contract after his release in December 2021. Nevertheless, she returned to the company soon after her husband made his return.

In a recent appearance on Ryan Satin’s Out of Character Podcast, Candice LeRae recently discussed the time frame in which she was permitted to fight in the ring after giving birth. LeRae claimed that Johnny Gargano did not want to extend his contract because he wanted to stay by her and the baby’s side and felt that people did not give him enough credit for his commitment.

LeRae claimed that after giving birth to her baby, her body recovered swiftly and she didn’t have many problems. Candice LeRae considers herself fortunate to have been approved in eight weeks to return to the ring. She stated that she would return to the ring after eight weeks to see whether she wanted to compete again.

“Johnny, obviously, he took time off to be with me and the baby, we wanted to make sure there was a guarantee we would have time off. His contract expired and he just took the time off. I don’t think people give him enough credit for what he really sacrificed and put on hold for me as well. He saw me and was like, ‘She’s putting everything on pause, I can do the same.’ We were there together and I think he was appreciating for his body to have the time off.”
