Candice LeRae Reunites with Johnny Gargano and Tommaso Ciampa – Candice LeRae made a surprise return on the May 23rd episode of WWE SmackDown, realigning with her husband Johnny Gargano and longtime ally Tommaso Ciampa—effectively reuniting the trio formerly associated with The Way and #DIY.
During the show, Ciampa faced TNA’s Chris Sabin in singles competition. The match ended in controversial fashion, with Ciampa feigning a knee injury late in the bout. As the referee was distracted tending to Ciampa, LeRae appeared at ringside and interfered—grabbing Sabin by the hair and snapping his throat across the top rope. Ciampa capitalized immediately, landing a running knee strike to secure the pinfall victory.
Following the match, LeRae celebrated in the ring alongside Gargano and Ciampa, signaling a full reunion of the trio. This marks LeRae’s first appearance with her husband on WWE television in months. Before Friday’s return, she had last been seen briefly aligned with Nia Jax on SmackDown, though that partnership never fully developed into a long-term storyline.
The return of LeRae alongside Gargano and Ciampa could point toward a revitalized faction on SmackDown, with potential implications for future tag team or mixed trios storylines.
