With WWE's already impressive women's division set to get an additional shot in the arm with the arrivals of Giulia and Stephanie Vaquer, there's now an update on the market leader potentially adding Rhio and DELTA to its ranks.

Last month's Clash at the Castle had Rhio in attendance backstage, leading to speculation the current Progress Women's Champion could be about to sign with WWE. On that front, Fightful Select reports that, while Rhio was invited to that PLE, no WWE deal was discussed at Clash at the Castle, though the 28-year-old PCW-trained talent would be open to joining WWE and already has a US visa in place. It's also said that WWE wouldn't have invited Rhio to that Glasgow event if there was not interest in her.

Where DELTA is concerned, Fightful was unable to outright confirm that the powerhouse has signed with WWE, but the outlet notes she impressed during WWE's Australian tryouts earlier this year and that sources on the Australian independent scene are under the impression that the Queensland native has indeed penned a contract with WWE.
