Johnny Gargano and Candice LeRae are just two of several recent WWE returns under Triple H's creative regime.

While the rosters of RAW and SmackDown continue to be strengthened under Triple H, it seems plenty of people backstage are particularly excited about having Gargano and LeRae back in the fold.

According to Fightful's Sean Ross Sapp (via Fightful Select), a WWE source informed him that Gargano stayed on the company's good side throughout the timeframe that saw his WWE NXT contract expire and his time in free agency.

NXT sources told Sapp that they believe Gargano handled his WWE NXT exit with "incredible professionalism." With both Gargano and LeRae back with the company, it appears that plenty of people are happy to have the couple back in the fold.

WWE sources believe that Triple H taking over creative on the main roster was a "tipping point" to getting Johnny Gargano back

While Johnny Gargano and Candice LeRae are now back with WWE, Sapp confirmed that the couple were in negotiations with "the major companies" a month before Gargano returned on Monday Night RAW.

This appears to only mean WWE and All Elite Wrestling as SRS states that IMPACT Wrestling "didn't seem to be a serious consideration."

Those within WWE believe the turning point to land the couple back with the company came following Vince McMahon's resignation in July. Referring to Triple H taking over as a "tipping point" that sped up the process.

It's clear that the WWE main roster is looking very different than it did two months ago, and it appears that Triple H isn't done making moves anytime soon.
