Candice LeRae is… mum!
The WWE star competed at the 2024 Elimination Chamber in Perth, Australia Saturday with Australia-native Indi Hartwell in a WWE Women’s Tag Team Championship match against The Kabuki Warriors (Asuka and Kairi Sane), and she used a popular Australian show as inspiration for her outfit.
LeRae’s outfit was inspired by Chilli Heeler, also known as mum, from the hit animated TV show ‘Bluey.’ Before the event, she teased her gear on Instagram with the caption ‘mum’ and a dog paw on it. When she came out in the kickoff match, her costume closely resembled the mother figure in the Australian show, even down to the fur marks.
WWE fans watching the premium live event caught onto the inspiration.
It wasn’t just a random nod to ‘Bluey’ for LeRae, as her and her husband, fellow WWE wrestler Johnny Gargano, are fans of the animated series alongside their son, Quill. In January, LeRae posted a photo of the family donning ‘Bluey’ baseball jerseys at Disney World.
