Ever since he took over WWE creative following Vince McMahon’s retirement in July, Triple H has brought back many WWE stars who departed the company in the past two years.
Former NXT Champion Johnny Gargano returned to the company on the Raw show in Toronto back in August, immediately entering a feud with former protegee Austin Theory.
When Gargano returned, it seemed only a matter of time before his wife Candice LeRae also reappeared on WWE television. Funnily enough, the next time Raw returned to the great white north, she also made an unexpected appearance as Nikki A.S.H’s opponent on the show.
Candice recently spoke to Muscle Man Malcolm, where she was asked about when she knew she would be returning to WWE. Candice revealed that she knew for a while, and how it was hard to keep it a secret.
She said:
“So Johnny and I both knew for sure about, what I want to say, a week before he debuted. So I knew for a while. Keeping a secret was very very difficult. In this day and age there’s so much social media and so many things leaking and trying to keep a secret was really difficult. I think him being a secret was a little harder than me being a secret was easier but hard because I was going with him to train. I was his training buddy but we were just like oh yeah I’m just training with him. I think people just weren’t expecting me to be ready to come back so soon, not even Triple H was ready haha.”
Candice LeRae immediately entered a feud with Damage CTRL on the Raw brand, with her picking up a victory over Bayley on last week’s episode of Raw.
