Rebecca Knox signs with WWE

[Stopspot]

Irish wrestler Rebecca Knox has signed a two-year development deal with the WWE, reports Irish newspaper The Herald.

Before returning to the ring in October of last year, Knox had retired from in-ring competition in 2008 after no showing a SHIMMER event. Her reason for not attending was that she did not feel that wrestling was the right career choice for her. Looks like her change of heart was the right decision.

Talking of her WWE deal, The Herald quotes Rebecca as saying: ”I want to make the most of this opportunity. Sheamus has shown that Irish pro-wrestlers can go all the way to the top.”

The 26-year-old from Dublin was last prominently seen in SHIMMER in 2011, managing the team of Britani and Saraya Knight from volumes 37-40. It will certainly be interesting to see if her and Britani – aka NXT’s Paige – will reunite.

Doesn't look nice but maybe she wrestles great and is able to defeat Paige.

In b4 she's Sheamus' sister.

Really? She's Sheamus' sister? I don't know but she admires Sheamus because he showed the prowrestling world the Irish power (read it up....)

I think she looks good. Well atleast the pictures I found on google. We'll see how well it goes but good luck to her.

No, no, I mean her character will be Sheamus' sister.

Oh, awesome too but that'll make Sheamus get distracted and lose more imo

She was the highlights of early Shimmer apparently and some reviews I found call her a female Aries. Good in the ring and able to make you hate her in an instant.

Sounds like a good one for the roster. An actual wrestler.

I'd hit it.
