Sources tell us that WWE has signed independent talent Candice LeRae to a developmental deal with the company and that she will start at the Performance Center in the next few weeks as she has passed her medical testing.

LeRae, 32, was one of the 32 women who took part in the inaugural Mae Young Classic tournament which saw her defeat names such as Renee Michelle, and Nicole Savoy before falling to Shayna Baszler in the semi finals.

She also made an appearance on the October 26th, 2017 episode of NXT, participating in a battle royal which was won by Nikki Cross to determine one of the contenders for the vacant NXT Women’s Championship at NXT TakeOver: WarGames.

She is also the only woman to ever hold the PWG Tag Team titles with her tag team partner, Joey Ryan.
