Rhio isnt going anywhereat least not yet.
The British wrestling standout just defended her spot in PROGRESS Wrestling in a high-stakes showdown against Nina Samuels at the Super Strong Style 16 Day 1 event. With her PROGRESS career on the line, Rhio walked out with the Womens World Title still in hand, shutting down immediate rumors of a WWE departure.
WWE has had its eyes on Rhio for a while now. Back in March, she reportedly received heavy attention during the companys talent tryouts in London. And while shes appeared at recent NXT tapings and completed a UK tryout, Reports confirmed shes not currently listed on the internal NXT roster. That hasnt stopped the speculation, especially with the added drama surrounding her recent PROGRESS match.
Following her big win, PROGRESS announced that a womens edition of its Super Strong Style tournament will debut next yearsuggesting Rhios reign and presence in the UK indie scene isnt over just yet.
WWEs interest is clearly real, but for now, Rhio is still repping PROGRESS and holding gold. Whether she signs a deal and heads to NXT remains to be seen, but one thing is clear: shes on the radar.
Do you think Rhio should stay in PROGRESS a little longer or make the jump to WWE NXT now? Please share your thoughts and feedback in the comment section below.
