Backstage Update on Richard Holliday Expected To Sign with WWE

As noted before, former Major League Wrestling and current indies talent Richard Holliday is currently expected to be heading to WWE soon. This past Sunday’s Meele in Manchester event for Game Changer Wrestling in Manchester, New Hampshire featured Holliday taking off his boots and leaving it in the ring following his match against Bear Bronson which usually indicates someone being done with their in-ring wrestling career or time with a company.

PWInsider’s Mike Johnson reported that his sources confirmed that Holliday is believed to be heading to WWE and likely be joining the NXT brand for the next destination in his career.

Johnson reported that those spoken to stated that WWE officials had plans at one point for Holliday to be announced for the WWE ID program around WrestleMania 43 weekend in Las Vegas, Nevada but it is currently not known why that did not happen.

Johnson also reported that Holliday still has a number of indies dates on his work schedule including a Gotham Wrestling taping on July 28 in Nyack, New York.
