She is currently the tag team partner of Joey Ryan ( their tag team name being " " The World ' s Cutest Tag Team " " ) and hosts a YouTube show with him , called " The Candice & Joey Show " . The two are now the PWG Tag Team Champions . Notable Storylines . LeRae ' s first major storyline began with PWG in 2006 , when she began accompanying Human Tornado to his matches as a face character . Tornado began to display villainous tendencies after losing his PWG title . Soon , he began to viciously Candice after losses in his matches and also threw her in the way of many dangerous attacks during his matches to avoid getting hit himself , turning himself heel in the process . As an act of defiance , Candice hit Human Tornado with a chair , costing him a match and managed to escape too bad a beating thanks to the interference of Chris Hero , her new ally . The periodic beating and sacrificing continued in Tornado ' s matches despite this , which eventually lead to a six - man , no disqualification , tornado tag team match that saw Tornado , Claudio Castagonoli and Eddie Kingston defeating LeRae , Hero and Necro Butcher . As reward for this , Tornado was given a singles match against LeRae . Despite an impressive showing , LeRae was eventually beaten down by Tornado who then threatened to urinate on Candice , however , Hero interrupted , inadvertently costing Candice the match by disqualification . LeRae became Hero ' s valet and began accompanying him to his matches soon after . Tornado ended up becoming the PWG Champion for a second time , and Hero the Number 1 contender . This culminated in a steel - cage Guerilla Warfare match for the PWG Title , in which LeRae helped Hero attain the title , ending her services as a valet to focus on her career as a singles wrestler . She then had a feud with Joey Ryan , her future tag team partner . Again in PWG and again the face character , Candice strongly opposed Joey disrespecting his female competitors in the ring by putting them in compromising positions , trying to " bring sleaze back to wrestling . " Candice , disgusted , fought with Joey valiantly on many occasions , introducing her new move " The Ballsplex " as a humiliating and painful counter to Ryan ' s Boobplex , which he used to humiliate female opponents . Trading wins and losses in both tag - team and singles matches , the two eventually called a truce and ended up becoming best friends and tag team partners to this day , under the Tag Team name " The World ' s Cutest Tag Team " . She also had a minor feud with Christina Von Eerie at several PWG shows and shows in other promotions , beating her on several occasions . In May 2009 , she was crowned the inaugural AWS Women ' s Champion and held the title until that September , when she lost it to Christina Von Eerie . However , she won the title back the next month and held it for a further 93 days until January the following year , when she lost it for a final time to Aiden Riley . She challenged Adam Cole for the PWG Heavyweight Championship in late March 2014 , and although she was unsuccessful , her match received acclaim across the board and earned her a lot of mainstream attention . In July , 2014 , she won the FSP Tag Team Championships with Joey Ryan . She defeated Ivelisse Velez in October 2014 to win the FWE Women ' s Championship the same day Velez won the title from the former Champion Maria Kanellis , who had been the champion for a record 2 years . In mid - 2014 , she won the DreamWave Wrestling Tag Team Championships with her Tag Team partner Joey Ryan from Helter Skelter ( Alex Castle and Marcus Crane ) , but lost the titles the next day to ACDC ( Arik Cannon and Darin Corbin ) . In 2014 at PWG Eleven , she and Ryan captured the PWG Tag Team Titles from The Young Bucks in a Guerrilla Warfare match , won when Candice dumped a pack of thumb tacks down one of her opponents shorts , before using her signature ballsplex to a thumb - tack covered ring to finish him off . She has also wrestled with many great legends in women ' s wrestling such as Sara Del Rey , Cheerleader Melissa and Amazing Kong .
