WWE reportedly is currently interested in potentially signing United Kingdom-based indies talents Man Like DeReiss and Rhio to contracts with the company, according to Fightful Select.
Corey Brennan reported that his sources stated that besides their recent interest towards Rhio, WWE officials also currently have DeReiss on their radar for a potential future signing.
Brennan reported that several talents within WWE have recently been pushing for the company to sign both Rhio and DeReiss.
Brennan also reported that it is currently not known if either talent will be brought in for extras work during WWE’s upcoming Road to WrestleMania 41 tour in Europe or if they will be present at an upcoming tryout this March in London.
Brennan also reported that those spoken to stated that talent signing with WWE was a big topic of discussion backstage at PROGRESS Wrestling’s Chapter 176: For The Love Of Progress 3 event this past Friday’s Valentine’s Day holiday in Manchester, England.
Rhio and DeReiss previously made several appearances for WWE’s NXT UK brand in 2019 and 2020.
