Candice LeRae is one of the best-known women’s wrestlers in the world, and not surprisingly, she was the most ‘over’ woman in the entire Battle Royal. The fans were chanting for her during the match and even booed when Billie Kay eliminated her. While she is a veteran in the independents, who is known for her extremely brutal inter-gender matches, she did not even get an entrance on NXT television.
She was just another ‘body’ that eventually got eliminated. We wonder if she will be part of the upcoming NXT Women's Tournament and whether she will be booked strongly. Thankfully, her husband Johnny Gargano is a prominent figure in NXT, and we hope that makes a difference. WWE needs to realise that it has a gold mine in its grasp.
