Rhio, one of the standout names on the UK indie wrestling scene, recently popped up at WWE NXT tapingsand now shes breaking her silence on exactly why she was there.
Speaking to MuscleManMalcolm, the former RevPro and Progress Wrestling star didnt shy away from the topic. Do you know what? It was kind of crazy, because Id just gone to Florida for five weeks. Ive got a visa, so I thought, might as well use it, she said, revealing that her visit wasnt necessarily part of some formal WWE inviteshe just made the most of the opportunity while being in town.
Rhio explained that she was staying with fellow UK talent Wolfgang and his wife Molly Spartan during her time in Orlando. Me and Molly Spartan go back quite far. We went viral together and got a lot of hate together on the internet. Well, were close like that, she shared.
With Wolfgang being part of Gallus, Rhio said her presence at the NXT tapings was also about supporting her friends. I would just go along to kind of support him and Gallus, she added.
But it wasnt just about being in the crowd. Rhio admitted shes got her eyes on WWEs developmental system for her future. I feel like NXT is somewhere I could see myself being, so I would be stupid to not look at the product, she said. I enjoy NXT. I enjoy all wrestling. Im not gonna say on one side or the other, tribalism dont come for me. I love all wrestling across the board, no matter the brand.
Rhios recent WWE tryout during the companys European tour before WrestleMania 41 added fuel to speculation about her future. While she didnt confirm any deals or contracts, her words make it clearshes watching, and she wants in.
