Making waves in the industry, as noted by Fightful Select, people with knowledge indicate that top indie star Richard Holliday is on WWE’s radar and has garnered significant interest from the company. If he hasn’t already, there is an expectation that he could be signed very soon.
To clarify, the report does not confirm that Holliday is agreed to terms; it only states that WWE is interested in him and that he may soon join the company. Building on that, additionally, it has been widely noted that Hiromu Takahashi is likely to join WWE — and many within the company believe he will be brought in. That said, there is currently no information on when either talent might make their debuts.
Holliday is best known for his time in MLW, where he was part of the faction Dynasty alongside MJF and Alex Hammerstone.
Over his ten-year career, he has worked numerous promotions and is a past MLW World Pairing Gold holder and MLW Caribbean Heavyweight Champion. In a separate but related matter, holliday took time off in late 2022 for treatment of Hodgkin’s Lymphoma and has had several tryouts with WWE over the years — including a near-signing with TNA to portray the character Mr. Elegance.
