Awesome / Candice LeRae

  • The match that has gone down in history as one of the bloodiest, hardcore, and iconic intergender matches in wrestling history: PWG Guerilla Warfare, The World's Cutest Tag Team (Candice & Joey Ryan) vs The Young Bucks. Thirty minutes of Candice proving why many people have called her one of the best wrestlers in the world, capped off by THAT SHOT - Candice taking a superkick from the Young Bucks, who have thumbtacks on their boots. Blood Is the New Black doesn't even begin to cover it.
  • The first-ever women's Takeover WarGames match featured her and Rhea Ripley in a 4-on-2 disadvantage and yet the two managed to win anyway. Better yet, Candice was in the match right from the beginning, starting off for her team against perennial rival Io Shirai.
  • Halloween Havoc is a goofy WCW concept that NXT pulled out for 2020, and Candice and Io main-evented the show in a "Tables, Ladders, and Scares" match. One gets the sense that Candice and Io were looking to outdo Sasha Banks and Bayley's Hell in a Cell match from four days prior, as they both break out the weapons (including, memorably, a sack full of fake severed limbs). Candice pulled off a swinging neckbreaker off the ropes to put Io through two tables, and then took a horrific bump off a ladder onto two stacked ladders. She didn't win, but Candice put up a fight to remember.
