Mae Young Classic competitor Candice LeRae is officially a WWE wrestler now and will soon begin training at the Performance Center.

WWE.com made the announcement and referred to Candice as "one of the top female wrestlers on the independent scene."

Squared Circle Sirens first reported the signing last week.

For those unaware, Candice is an indie wrestling standout who is the only woman to ever hold the PWG tag team titles. She’s also married to NXT Superstar Johnny Gargano.

In case you missed it, WWE also announced today that War Machine and Ricochet signed deals.
