On a related note the former NXT Champion revealed today on Twitter that he’ll be wearing Candice LeRae socks during his match tonight.
“Found the perfect pair of socks for #NXTWarGames tonight! @CandiceLerae has been in every Women’s War Games match.. and for obvious reasons she’s unable to compete this year.. but I wanted to make sure she still found a way in the cage with me tonight.”
