Richard Holliday has long been regarded as one of the independent wrestling scene’s brightest stars, having competed for the likes of MLW, GCW and Exodus Pro Wrestling, where he currently reigns as the NWA Midwest Heavyweight Champion.

During his time in Major League Wrestling, Holliday notably captured the MLW World Tag Team Championship alongside MJF, who is now in his third reign as AEW World Champion.

The report additionally notes that Holliday was once considered for the role of Mr. Elegance in TNA Wrestling. After several WWE tryouts in recent years, it now appears likely that he’ll soon be putting pen to paper with the company.

Should Holliday join WWE, he likely wouldn’t be the only new arrival, with reports continuing to indicate that Enzo & Cass are set to return to the company following Big Bill’s AEW departure. You can read more about that here.

Furthermore, Zilla Fatu is reportedly expected to join WWE imminently, if he hasn’t already signed with the company. You can read more about that here.

As always, we’ll aim to provide any further updates on the future of Richard Holliday as soon as we hear more.
