Candice LaRae and Trish Stratus to Have Epic Clash at Royal Rumble 2025
In recent years, the women of wrestling have turned WWE, the creation of Vince McMahon, into a thrill-a-minute joy ride! Compared to their male counterparts, women wrestlers often have faster-paced matches and often become fan favorites due to their intense personalities and showmanship. Speed Champion Candice LaRae is just one current living legend, one who recently made a big noise on the scene by declaring herself as ready for Royal Rumble 2025.
Candice LeRae WILL Be in Royal Rumble 2025
On January 31, 2025, multiple female wrestlers declared themselves ready to jump into the ring for Royal Rumble 2025. This announcement came during that night’s WWE Smackdown episode and featured some of the biggest names in the field. Legend Trish Stratus stated that she would be jumping into the ring while in a segment with enemy Candice LeRae.
During this ring-based segment, the two butted heads over Stratton’s alleged betrayal of LeRae. Candice finally declared that she would be joining the fray against her former friend, claiming that she would take her out. Big word against someone with such a pedigree as Stratus! However, LeRae is one of the few competitors whose actions put real oomph behind her words.
That’s because her career has been on a constant upswing in recent years. Climbing the ranks, building her reputation, and crafting a championship pedigree seem to come to her as naturally as breathing. The sky is the limit for this wiley, quick-witted, and tough wrestler. Fans will wait with bated breath to see the two go toe-to-toe in Royal Rumble this year.
Candice LeRae is As Tough as They Come
Ever since her initial singing with the WWE Performance Center in 2018, LeRae has been a huge presence despite being just a shade over five foot nothing! Known for her reputation-making showcase during her husband Johnny Gargano’s NXT Title Match, showcasing an intense fighting spirit that has made her a favorite of fans everywhere.
She also came out strong and hard in the 2019 Women’s Royal Rumble Match and made a name for herself as someone who wasn’t afraid to stand up for herself. Backing down were two words clearly not in her vocabulary! For example, she grew disgusted with her lack of opportunities and created The Way, a powerful and popular quartet with her husband.
Beyond her success with this team, she also made history by becoming the first WWE Women’s Speed Champion, a title she holds to this day. LeRae’s powerful in-the-ring performance is matched only by her ringside charisma and ability to hold the audience’s attention with every word she speaks. If she ever gets into politics, she’s definitely a shoo-in to win!
Big Things Come to Those Who Wait
LeRae’s career has been an exciting one and has already featured more ups and downs than a major Hollywood blockbuster. Who knows where her peak will lie? Perhaps a win at Royal Rumble 2025 will be her first stop on the train to a powerhouse career of constant success. Only time will tell!
