A top UK name is reportedly on WWE’s radar.
This year, the road to WrestleMania passes through Europe as both RAW and SmackDown will emanate from the likes of Italy, Belgium and the UK. While in touring the continent, it’s likely that WWE will be keen to scout any possible future talent, and now we know of a popular British talent that the company are believed to be keeping an eye on.
Per Fightful Select, it’s believed that WWE are interested in potentially signing Man Like DeReiss, with it believed that several of the company’s talent have been pushing for the acquisitions of both DeReiss and former PROGRESS Women’s Champion Rhio.
“Fightful Select’s Corey Brennan has learned that in addition to the previously reported interest in Rhio, sources in British wrestling claim to Fightful Select that Man Like DeReiss is on WWE’s radar as a potential signing.”

DeReiss and Rhio have both previously worked for WWE having made appearances on NXT UK and it’s possible they may be brought in for extra work during the company’s London dates, although this is unconfirmed. More recently, the pair trained with Natalya at the Hart Dungeon during their time in the US.
With RAW and SmackDown heading to London, WWE are set to hold a tryout in England’s capital next month. As yet, it’s unclear if either talent will be in attendance.
As always, we’ll aim to provide any further updates on possible signings for WWE as soon as we hear more.
