WWE looks like it is getting ready to add some new bodies, and two names already stand out.

Fightful Select reports that WWE is likely bringing in new talent soon, including wrestlers and a referee. One of the biggest names expected is Hiromu Takahashi, who many in the company have believed was coming in for a while.

That one is going to get attention fast. Hiromu is one of New Japan’s most explosive junior heavyweight stars, and if WWE really has him coming in, that gives the company a fresh international name who can bring a totally different energy to the roster.

Richard Holliday is another name to watch. Fightful Select noted that WWE has interest in Holliday, and sources expect he could be signed soon if he has not signed already. As always with signings, nothing is locked in until the paperwork is done.

Holliday has been one of the more talked-about independent names for years. He has also had multiple WWE tryouts in recent years, so this is not some random first look. WWE has clearly had him on the radar for a while.

There was also a point where Holliday was considered for the Mr. Elegance role in TNA, but now WWE may be the company that gets him instead. That makes this more interesting, because Holliday already has the look, promo style, and personality that could fit right into WWE’s system.

WWE bringing in new talent right now makes sense. NXT has been changing fast, the main roster always needs fresh names, and WWE has been more aggressive about adding talent from outside places again. Hiromu would be the flashy international pickup, while Holliday feels like someone WWE could mold quickly into a TV-ready act.

Now the waiting game starts. Hiromu Takahashi has been expected for some time, Richard Holliday may not be far behind, and WWE appears ready to reload with some new faces.

Who do you think would make the bigger impact in WWE, Hiromu Takahashi or Richard Holliday? Please share your thoughts and feedback in the comments section below.
