WWE NXT North American Champion Johnny Gargano says he won’t stop until his wife Candice LeRae has the NXT Women’s Title around her waist.
Gargano tweeted a photo of LeRae with the title this week and wrote, “Cool. I won’t stop until this happens.”
One fan wrote that Gargano should just do a “Finger Poke of Doom” and let her take his title. He responded and went on about how LeRae deserves her run with the NXT Women’s Title, and The Way is going to make sure she gets it.
“As great as that would be.. she’s been the best for a very very long time.. long before even coming to WWE. For what she’s gone through and done for that division.. She DESERVES her run with the NXT Women’s Championship. And we’re gonna make sure she gets it,” Gargano wrote.

Aired December 16, 2020 on USA Network
[Hour One] No intro video this week. The show immediately cut to Kushida and Leon Ruff already in the ring with Kushida getting his entrance theme playing. Vic Joseph, Wade Barrett, and Beth Phoenix were the commentary team…
1. “The Way” Johnny Gargano and Austin Theory (w/Candice LeRae, Indi Hartwell) vs. Kushida and Leon Ruff. Gargano and Theory did their no-look slow high five before the bell. Gargano teased starting the match before he quickly tagged in Theory to face off against Kushida. Kushida spanked Theory on the floor while toying with him in the chain wrestling sequence. Kushida dragged Theory to the ground and tagged in Leon Ruff for some follow up. Ruff did some parkour evasions on the corner to keep Theory under control. Theory took over the match after blindsiding a confident Ruff.
Next week’s WWE NXT episode on the USA Network will be the “Very Gargano Christmas” special.
There’s no word yet on what The Way (Candice LeRae, NXT North American Champion Johnny Gargano, Indi Hartwell, Austin Theory) has in store for next week’s Christmas special, but they will be hosting the show.
The Way was in action on tonight’s NXT episode as Gargano and Theory defeated Leon Ruff and Kushida in the opening match. Hartwell, who is no longer wearing the neck brace, later lost to Shotzi Blackheart via DQ due to interference. LeRae is still out of action with an arm injury from the recent “Takeover: WarGames 2020” event.
