Pro wrestling veteran and WWE Hall of Famer Tommy Dreamer has weighed in on rumours that independent wrestling star Richard Holliday could be heading to WWE, suggesting Holliday has earned the reported opportunity. Dreamer's comments add a respected voice from within the wrestling industry to speculation about Holliday's future, lending weight to talk that the young performer is on WWE's radar.

Holliday, billed as the "Most Marketable" independent wrestler currently active, is preparing to face TNA Wrestling's Elijah at Awesome Championship Wrestling's Indypendence event. Speaking to Fox News Digital ahead of that match, Dreamer indicated Holliday would need to keep working hard to fulfil the promise the rumours suggest, framing the potential WWE move as a reward for effort rather than a certainty.
