Saturday’s WWE Elimination Chamber event in Australia delivered a mix of emotions for superstars and fans alike. One wrestler is sharing her thoughts on the event and emphasizing the importance of resilience in the face of setbacks.
During the Elimination Chamber Kickoff pre-show, Candice LeRae and Indi Hartwell faced off against Asuka and Kairi Sane of The Kabuki Warriors for the WWE Women’s Tag Team Championship. Despite a valiant effort, LeRae and Hartwell fell short, with Asuka and Sane securing victory with an assisted Insane Elbow on LeRae.
Reflecting on the loss, Candice LeRae took to Instagram to share a poignant message alongside a graphic from the Bluey cartoon. It marks her first public statement since the event, conveying a message of perseverance:
“Have a cry ✔️, Pick yourself up ✔️, Dust yourself off ✔️, And keep going. The show must go on. 🧡🤎💚💛,” she penned.
LeRae and Hartwell’s journey to the title shot was marked by ups and downs. Despite setbacks, they showcased resilience, earning their opportunity at the championship. However, their recent loss at Elimination Chamber serves as a setback, but not a defeat.
