Candice LeRae is as tough as they come.

A longtime revolutionary of the independent women’s wrestling scene, LeRae made a name for herself with an uncanny ability to endure punishment and never stop fighting. Standing at 5-foot-2, the scrappy underdog has no problem stepping toe-to-toe with any opponent thrown her way, having even held her own against the likes of Kevin Owens and Cesaro in the past.

Signing with the WWE Performance Center in January 2018, she soon made her presence felt in NXT when she jumped the barricade during her husband Johnny Gargano’s NXT Title Match, taking out Andrade “Cien” Almas’ business manager Zelina Vega with a flurry of punches. LeRae also displayed her fighting spirit in the 2019 Women's Royal Rumble Match. 

With a never-say-die attitud, an explosive and high-risk offensive arsenal and unrivaled grit, LeRae is primed to raise the level of competition within NXT’s Women’s division.
