In addition to Ricochet and War Machine both joining the WWE Performance Center today, WWE has also announced the signing of Mae Young Classic competitor Candice LeRae.
One of the top female wrestlers on the independent wrestling scene, LeRae competed in the #1 contender’s Women’s battle royal in NT last October and is married to NXT star Johnny Gargano.
She's one of the best in the world and got here on her own merit. Blood, sweat and tears.. She's sacrificed and worked incredibly hard for a very long time.
I'm proud of my Wife; Candice.. But even prouder of my favorite wrestler, the toughest person I know; Candice LeRae. https://t.co/1y7PRGSGo1

WWE.com writes, “Standing at just 5-foot-2, LeRae is known for not backing down from anyone, no matter how much bigger they may be. The spunky Superstar has even battled heavyweights like Kevin Owens and Cesaro. LeRae’s tenacity and ability to endure punishment was on full display in the Mae Young Classic and will make her a competitor to watch at the WWE Performance Center.”
