Report: Several Talents ‘Pushing’ For WWE To Sign Two Free Agents

WWE

Several talents within WWE are pushing for the company to sign two free agent stars according to a new report.

2025 has already been a busy year for WWE in terms of big free agent recruits, with Penta, Jordynne Grace and Ricky Starks joining the company.

With former AEW stars Malakai Black and Miro potentially planned to make their WWE returns, a new report has revealed two more names that may soon join that list.

According to Fightful Select sources on the UK wrestling scene have claimed that WWE have interest in signing 28-year-old star Man Like DeReiss.

Talents in the company are reportedly “pushing” for WWE to bring in both DeReiss and fellow UK star Rhio, with the latter recently visiting NXT tapings at the Performance Center in November along with Tate Mayfairs and Molly Spartan.

According to the report, talent potentially signing with WWE was a “big discussion point” backstage at PROGRESS Wrestling’s Valentine’s Day event in Manchester.

It is not yet known if either DeReiss or Rhio will be present during the lead up to WrestleMania 41 or whether the pair will attend the company’s tryout scheduled for London in March, but WWE have reportedly reached out to several schools and promotions for extra work for their Road to WrestleMania tour.

We will provide further updates on WWE’s potential interest in signing DeReiss and Rhio as more information becomes available.
