Rhea Ripley says Candice LeRae is underutilized: “It’s hard to pinpoint anyone specifically, but I feel like there’s a lot, especially in the women’s division. There’s so many women that I know are so amazing at what they do, and they don’t get enough TV time or the opportunities to really show everyone what they can do. Someone that I love is Candice LeRae, and going through NXT with her and how her brain works and how she goes out there and she’s like the vet in the ring, she knows what to do and she keeps everyone calm and she’s got ideas and it’s just like I wish that someone like her would get more of an opportunity.”

Shane Helms has a good point about Raja Jackson — a “receipt” is something that happens in the ring during a match. Somebody gives you a punch that was supposed to be work but tags you for real, you give them a “receipt” and hit them with a real shot back. That’s how wrestlers settle their beefs. A “receipt” is not getting mad at somebody trying to work an angle with outside of a ring then getting permission to physically assault them in return INSIDE the ring. That’s never been a thing.
