British indie talent Millie McKenzie turned down an offer to sign with WWE earlier this year, according to a report from the Wrestling Observer Newsletter.

McKenzie, a star of PROGRESS, DEFIANT and Pro Wrestling: EVE, apparently rejected overtures to work with WWE's NXT:UK brand, instead opting to continue her association with Japan's Sendai Girls promotion.

The youngster is no stranger to the bright lights of WWE, having made three appearances for NXT UK last year, including a Women's Tournament defeat to Jinny. She was just 17 at the time - and we're sure more opportunities will arise as she hones her craft.

Benjamin was born in 1987, and is still not dead. He variously enjoys classical music, old-school adventure games (they're not dead), and walks on the beach (albeit short - asthma, you know). He's currently trying to compile a comprehensive history of video game music, yet denies accusations that he purposefully targets niche audiences. He's often wrong about these things.
