LeRae began working with WWE in mid-2017. She announced her pregnancy in August last year but remained on TV in a non-wrestling role. She last wrestled on July 6 at the NXT Great American Bash when she and Indi Hartwell lost their NXT Women’s Tag Team titles.

Only one member remains from Candice LeRae’s former faction, “The Way.”

The Way was a popular NXT faction which included Candice LeRae, Johnny Gargano, Indi Hartwell and Austin Theory. Additionally, the stable had some affiliation with Dexter Lumis, who was married to Indi Hartwell on NXT TV.

LeRae’s real-life husband and former NXT Champion Johnny Gargano left the company in December and is yet to return to a poll.

Recently another batch of NXT superstars was released, which included Dexter Lumis. Only Indi Hartwell is left as the only member of The Way on NXT, while Theory is on RAW as the United States Champion.
