Update on Candice LeRae's WWE Contract
Added 2021-12-08 19:23:30 +0000 UTCWith Johnny Gargano possibly leaving WWE, that has many questioning the status of his wife, Candice LeRae.
Fightful Select has learned that originally, Candice LeRae's WWE deal was scheduled to expire in the spring of 2022. LeRae remained on TV even while pregnant, working with Indi Hartwell in several segments for The Way prior to the group disbanding. We're told internally, there hasn't been much discussion on LeRae re-signing as of yet, since WWE generally waits much closer to the expiration date to broach the subject.
Many have inquired about whether or not WWE is able to freeze LeRae's contract due to inactivity while she's on paid maternity leave. We're told that subject hasn't been broached internally.
UPDATE: Spring 2022. Sorry for the typo

2021-12-08 21:42:16 +0000 UTCExtending a woman’s contract due to her pregnancy sounds crazy illegal. I’m not a lawyer, but at a minimum it would be a black eye for the company.

2021-12-08 21:19:03 +0000 UTCThey are putting over too much the fact he’s black and gold! so I hope and believe he’s going RAW or SD

2021-12-08 20:22:17 +0000 UTCI think what happened at the end of the show was Johnny’s way of putting Waller over on his way out in lieu of an actual match like KOR did.

2021-12-08 19:27:36 +0000 UTCAre you confirming Gargano is fully gone here? That last segment felt like it was building to something imo. I’m just confused

2021-12-08 19:26:03 +0000 UTCShes one I think would be much more valuable outside WWE than inside. Her style is much better suited to an unrestricted product and she’d be a perfect fit for the upper end of AEWs women’s division.
