LeRae has been off WWE programming for close to a full year. She gave birth to she and Johnny Gargano’s child and they both took time away from in-ring competition to focus on parenthood.
Prior to tonight, LeRae was last in action for WWE at NXT Great American Bash when she and Indi Hartwell lost the NXT Women’s Tag Titles to Zoey Stark and IYO SKY. LeRae is a part of the Raw roster alongside her husband Johnny Gargano and fellow former members of ‘The Way’, Dexter Lumis and Austin Theory.
