Sunday’s GCW event in Manchester, Fresh Hampshire, featured Richard Holliday facing TNA star Bear Bronson in singles action. Bronson emerged victorious over Holliday, and after the contest, Holliday sat in the ring for a moment before showing respect to Bronson. He then stood and received a “Thank You” chant from the those in attendance before sitting back down, unlacing his boots, and leaving them in the ring. Holliday bowed to the audience before exiting to the back.
It surfaced that Holliday was giving a farewell after the contest. The announcers alluded to rumors about his interest in WWE but expressed surprise at his boot removal, remarking, “This is not the rumor.”
Closing week, based on multiple reports, WWE was interested in Holliday, and there was an expectation that he could be signed highly soon, if he hadn’t already. On the other hand, there is currently no confirmation that Holliday has officially signed with the company, only that WWE is looking to bring him in.
Where he was part of The Dynasty alongside MJF and Alex Hammerstone, holliday is best known for his tenure in MLW. He is a previous MLW World Tag Team Title holder and a former MLW Caribbean Heavyweight Champion.
