A huge congratulations are in order for Johnny Gargano and Candice LeRae. Gargano took to Twitter today to announce that the couple is expecting their first child. The baby is expected to be due in February 2022.

The NXT couple first got married in September 2016 at Disneyland. They now will adding be another member to their small family come the first quarter of 2022.

Candice spoke with Newsweek about working and being on the road with her husband:

"“It’s pretty amazing, I will say. Even before Johnny and I were dating, I always admired him as a wrestler and as a person. We obviously have our usual married couple banter here and there, a little bickering. But I feel like we bring out the best in each other. I mean that’s why we’re married, right? I love it.” Candice LeRae said. (h/t Newsweek)"

It is expected, as normal, that Candice will be taking some time off to undergo her pregnancy. The future for Johnny Gargano in NXT is still unclear after the recent speculation surrounding the future of the brand. LeRae is consistently recognized as one of the top and most consistent performers on the NXT brand and across WWE as a whole.

Congratulations to Johnny Gargano and Candice LeRae

Finally, some positive news coming out of NXT. The couple has been together a while now, and it looks as though they’re making the next step bringing ‘Baby Wrestling’ into the world next year.

A congratulations from all of us to both Johnny and Candice! It looks like The Way is getting stronger in the near future.
