Candice LeRae looks for revenge in Toronto.
NXT announced that Candice LeRae will get her hands on Io Shirai at NXT TakeOver: Toronto on Aug. 10.
Candice LeRae has one objective in mind at TakeOver: Toronto: to make Io Shirai suffer.
LeRae has been searching for payback ever since The Genius of the Sky betrayed her in June. Shirai used a steel chair to obliterate LeRae immediately after Shirai lost to NXT Women’s Champion Shayna Baszler in a Steel Cage Match for the title. Following the attack, Shirai showed no remorse; instead, she’s declared her independence from LeRae — the one Superstar who had Shirai’s back during her war with Baszler and the Horsewomen — and made clear that she doesn’t need, or want, any friends.
But if Shirai thought her lashing would put LeRae in her rear-view mirror, then she’s not familiar with “Tenacious C.” LeRae sent Shirai packing with an ambush on the June 24 edition of NXT. LeRae intended to fight fire with fire, reaching for a chair during the melee, but Shirai escaped before she could receive her comeuppance.
There will be nowhere to run, however, when LeRae and Shirai finally square off at TakeOver: Toronto. Don’t miss this huge grudge match when TakeOver streams live Saturday, Aug. 10, at 7 ET/4 PT, exclusively on the award-winning WWE Network.
