WWE Interested In Two UK Indy Stars

Two independent wrestling stars in the United Kingdom are drawing interest from WWE.

Fightful Select's Corey Brennan has reported that Rhio and Man Like DeReiss are on WWE's radar as potential signings for the company. There is support within WWE for the two talents and several WWE wrestlers have been pushing for the organisation to bring in Rhio and Man Like DeReiss. Talent signing with WWE was also heavily discussed backstage at PROGRESS Wrestling's Valentine's Day show.

WWE are planning to hold a tryout in London next month but it is unknown if Man Like DeReiss or Rhio are scheduled to be a part of it.

Rhio and Man Like DeReiss have both performed in the United States in recent months and they trained at the Hart Dungeon while across the pond. DeReiss worked several matches for GCW in December 2024, while Rhio wrestled for CCW.

In the United Kingdom, Man Like DeReiss is a top talent for the likes of PROGRESS, Wrestling Resurgence, and NORTH Wrestling. Rhio is a former ICW Women's Champion, PROGRESS Women's Champion, and NORTH Tag Team Champion with Emersyn Jayne.
