WWE Star Describes Poignant Moment In Locker Room

WWE

A WWE star describes a poignant moment they had in the locker room after believing they just wrestled their last match.

Recently having a chat with Ryan Satin on his Out of Character podcast, the recently returned Candice LeRae opened up about the feeling of her last match.

Before heading away from NXT, Candice and her then tag-team partner Indi Hartwell had to drop the NXT Women’s Tag Team Championships to IYO SKY (at the time still Io Shirai) and Zoey Stark.

Describing a poignant private moment in the locker room, Candice said:

“I will say that at [NXT] Great American Bash, because Johnny [Gargano] and I suspected that I would be pregnant, I had this feeling of it possibly being my last match because again, that’s another thing you don’t know.

“I didn’t know how things were going to play out and I was very fortunate to be alone in the locker room, just some weird stroke of luck where I was alone in the locker room and I was unlacing my boots and it was this kind of real thing where I was like, ‘oh my gosh, I might be pregnant and this could be it’ and that was all I’d ever known.

“I’ve been doing it for at that point, 19 years, so it was a very kind of like, I don’t know, time kind of stopped for me and it was very real and I’m getting emotional talking about it now because for my whole life, this is all I wanted to do, this is all I wanted to be and now, this could be it.

“But, holy cow is that kid so well worth everything. He was definitely worth the wait.”

Candice LeRae made her return to WWE recently and circumvented a return to NXT entirely, heading directly to WWE Raw alongside real life husband Johnny Gargano.

Candice LeRae is currently 2-2-0 in her return to WWE thus far in 2022.
