Any update on Rhio from the UK and WWE? I figured she was going to be signed.

Rhio has long been discussed as a top prospect, and with her loser leaves PROGRESS match with Nina Samuels last year, many thought she was WWE bound until she won that match. A lot of talent in Progress actually thought she had been signed, but wasn't. When I inquired about Rhio’s status with WWE, we were told they’ve had their eye on her for quite a while and is well liked within those that are familiar with her. Rhio did a recent WWE tryout, and also participated in extra work on an episode of WWE Raw.

What would be the best way to get into pro wrestling journalism?

Learn how to do it first and foremost, then produce content. Any and everything. Interviews, transcripts, audio, video, editing, graphics, social media results posts, opinion pieces. Everyone has the ability to make a free platform, Youtube, or audio platform to host the work. Think about what content you think there's an appetite for, and what you can excel in. Be as versatile as possible, that makes you as hirable as possible.

Do you have an update on Jaida Parker?

Yeah, she's fine. Wrestling live events. I haven't heard much else about why she hasn't been featured!

Is Gabe Kidd signed to AEW and I missed the report? A dual deal maybe?

I've got conflicting information on this. Another promoter is pretty sold on the idea that Gabe Kidd has some kind of deal with AEW, which would make sense. People in NJPW aren't quite sure if he does, and someone that is familiar with him wasn't sure either. He likes to play his cards very close to the vest.
