Free Agent Teasing WWE NXT Debut?

WWE

A free agent with reported WWE interest has potentially teased an upcoming debut at NXT Heatwave this weekend.

Back in February, it was reported that independent standout Richard Holliday was among the names that was in attendance at the WWE tryouts, with reports later emerging that WWE had interest in bringing him into the company.

Last month, following his match with Bear Bronson at GCW’s Melee in Manchester event, Holliday would leave his boots in the ring as the fans chanted ‘thank you Rich’ at him, while the commentators made reference to ‘rumours’ surrounding his future.

Richard Holliday ‘To Address’ GCW Departure Moment This Weekend

A month on from the moment, and Holliday has now noted that he plans to ‘address’ the situation this weekend.

Taking to social media, he said:

I can finally speak about this, but I just need some time.

I will address over the weekend. Thank you.

While obviously the situation could be entirely unrelated, Holliday choosing now to comment on the situation, while also drumming up hype for the weekend, the same weekend as WWE NXT’s Heatwave event, had a lot of fans speculating that he could be teasing making his debut at Heatwave in Edinburg, Texas.

We will keep you updated on any potential updates on Holliday’s future as they become available.
