NXT Star’s WWE Contract Set To Expire Soon, Not Expected Back Right Now

Say goodbye? With so many people on the WWE roster, it can be difficult to keep track of everyone involved. Sometimes a wrestler just gets forgotten about for one reason or another, often when they are taken off of television. That can create a problem for the wrestlers as well as the company, as there are occasions where someone slips under the radar long enough that they wind up getting away entirely. We might be seeing that again soon.

According to Fightful Select, Candice LeRae’s WWE contract is expected to expire at some point this spring. LeRae has been out of action on maternity leave since July and gave birth to her first child with Johnny Gargano last month. However, her contract has not been frozen since she has been out of action and is expected to expire before she is ready to return. There is no word on if WWE or LeRae are interested in signing a new deal. LeRae and Gargano are both said to be on good terms with WWE, who would like to have them back.

Opinion: This is something that is going to happen occasionally but in this case it seems to be something that is happening to a wrestler who might just come back to WWE. LeRae and Gargano are both talented wrestlers and people that WWE, or any other promotion, would probably love to have. As easy as it would be to say “just go to AEW”, it would be nice to see them as the top stars in NXT, or perhaps even in WWE.

What do you think of LeRae? Where do you see her going next? Let us know in the comments below.
