A prominent name from the UK has caught the attention of companies in the United States.
Fightful Select’s Corey Brennan has reported that, alongside the previously mentioned interest in Rhio, sources within British wrestling have confirmed to Fightful that Man Like DeReiss is also on WWE's radar as a potential signing.
Additionally, we're hearing that several WWE talents have been advocating for the inclusion of both Rhio and DeReiss in the company. However, it’s still unclear whether either will appear for extra work during the lead-up to WrestleMania or attend the tryout scheduled for London in March. WWE has reportedly reached out to various schools and promotions to arrange extra work for their pre-WrestleMania tour.
Rhio was recently spotted at the NXT Performance Center attending NXT tapings, but was there only as a visitor. Both Rhio and DeReiss also trained at the Hart Dungeon during their time in the US last year. It’s also been revealed that talent signings were a major topic of conversation backstage at PROGRESS Wrestling’s Valentine’s Day event.
Both DeReiss and Rhio have previously appeared on NXT UK.
