During a recent appearance on the “Muscle Memory” podcast, indie wrestling star Rhio discussed her latest experience at the WWE NXT TV tapings.
As we previously reported here on eWn, Rhio recently participated in the WWE tryouts in the UK.
You can check out some highlights from the podcast below:
On her recent visit to NXT: “Do you know what? It was kind of crazy, because I’d just gone to Florida for five weeks. I’ve got a visa, so I thought, might as well use it. I was out for Progress and Defy, and ended up doing a few of their little shows kind of thing. But I just thought, to myself, you understand wrestling’s a business still, and I watch the product.”
On enjoying all wrestling: “I enjoy NXT. I enjoy all wrestling. I’m not gonna say on one side or the other, tribalism don’t come for me. I love all wrestling across the board, no matter the brand. But I do enjoy NXT, and I was in Florida, in particular Orlando, so I was like, makes sense. I was actually staying with Wolfgang and his wife, Molly Spartan, cuz me and Molly Spartan go back quite far.”
On how they went viral: “We went viral together and got a lot of hate together on the internet. Well, we’re close like that, so I was staying with them for five weeks, and obviously Wolfgang being in Gallus, so I would just go along to kind of support him and Gallus, and also, I feel like NXT is somewhere I could see myself being, so I would be stupid to not look at the product.”
