Former NXT Star Makes Surprise Return To WWE In Main Roster Debut

Welcome back to the family. WWE has been shaken up in a lot of ways in recent months, both behind the scenes and in front of the camera. One of the biggest changes has been due to the amount of wrestlers who have been brought back. That can make for some very exciting television and WWE did it again this week, with a surprise return and debut taking place at the same time.

This week on Monday Night Raw, Candice LeRae made her return to the company and main roster debut, defeating Nikki Ash. LeRae had been absent from WWE since late 2021 as she went on maternity leave. Her contract expired in May of this year and she chose not to renew it. LeRae’s husband Johnny Gargano is also on the Monday Night Raw roster, having returned to the company last month.

Opinion: LeRae might not be a game changer (yet) but she is certainly a nice debut as she never got a chance on the main roster. If nothing else, it is nice to see LeRae and Gargano on the same show again as you do not see many real life husband and wives on a roster together. LeRae is a talented star and it should be interesting to see what she can do on one of the biggest stages.
