Sean Ross Sapp of Fightful Wrestling is reporting through his Select service that Candice LaRae is officially gone from WWE after her contract expired and was not renewed.

LaRae has been absent from WWE television since this past Summer as she was pregnant. Her last time in an NXT ring was at the Great American Bash episode in July where she and Indi Hartwell lost their NXT Women's Tag Team titles to Io Shirai and Zoey Stark.

The California native has been signed with WWE since 2017 and was always part of the NXT system during her time in WWE. She is married to Johnny Gargano and gave birth to their first child in February of this year.

Gargano left WWE after his contract expired as well in December of last year.
