Johnny Gargano believes he and his wife, Candice LeRae, are amongst the greatest husband-wife duos

While the heel turns of Johnny Gargano and wife, Candice LeRae, may not have been everyone’s cup of tea, it’s certainly given them both a new purpose on WWE NXT.

Gargano is really driving home his new persona on social media.

Gargano took to Instagram and posted a picture of himself along with wife Candice LeRae.

However, he also put his partnership with her alongside legendary couples like Jay Z and Beyonce, Tom Brady and Gisele, Jim and Pam, and Harry and Meghan.

LeRae and Gargano have taken up the roles of heels and that all started with a recent fight.

After his recent match against Tommaso Ciampa, Gargano said that it was the NXT fans who turned their backs on him and LeRae.

He insisted the NXT he ‘loved and built’ is now long gone. However, Gargano emerged triumphant over Tommaso Ciampa in a brutal Empty Arena match earlier this match.

In what Triple H demanded to be the conclusion of their legendary feud, Johnny Gargano defeated Tommaso Ciampa on WWE NXT on USA Network.

Two weeks prior to the fight, the NXT founder called for the two men to put an end to their rivalry, and he vowed to find an empty building in which they could quash their issues once and for all.

Gargano walked into the building and there was a ring, with Triple H sitting in the corner. Ciampa also appeared and started entering the ring as Triple H warned them that this was the end of their feud. He also introduced referee Drake Wuertz and said he was there just to count the winner.

LeRae shouted at her husband and told Ciampa that she hopes he’s happy because she now hates what her husband is.

LeRae yelled at Ciampa to finish Gargano as he looked on shocked. She then said if Ciampa wouldn’t finish her husband, then she would.

She followed it by landing a low blow to Gargano. LeRae left as Ciampa took his time, saying a few words to Gargano and apologizing to him several times.

Ciampa looked ready to end the match but LeRae came back into the ring and kicked Ciampa from behind with a low blow. It was then that Gargano revealed the protective mask he was wearing.

Gargano put Ciampa back down with hiss Fairy Tale Ending and pinned him for the win.
