WWE Superstar praises Becky Lynch for setting the bar high for wrestling after pregnancy
Candice LeRae recently praised Becky Lynch for setting the bar high when it comes to returning to WWE following a pregnancy.
The Poison Pixie returned to RAW as a surprise opponent for Nikki A.S.H. LeRae defeated Nikki and took the loss so poorly that she has since abandoned her "almost a superhero" gimmick entirely.
Candice LeRae stepped away from the company, along with her husband Johnny Gargano, as they welcomed a baby boy into the family. Both Gargano and LeRae wound up returning to the company and are currently on the WWE RAW roster.
Speaking on the Ringside podcast, LeRae praised Becky Lynch and noted that The Man has set the bar high with her return to wrestling after pregnancy:
"The women who have done this before me gave me the little bit of courage to come back," said LeRae. "I didn't know if this was something that was going to be possible. Becky Lynch kind of set a bar really high for us moms coming back because she came back better than ever. Her doing that had me stop and go, 'Wow, this is really possible. It's doable and possible. She did it and look at her.' She came back better than ever. 'We can do this.' It's really awesome. Timing is everything and the timing has been absolutely perfect." H/T: Fightful
