After impressing WWE officials during her WrestleMania XL weekend tryout, “Vicious” Victoria D’Errico signed a full-time contract with the company. Yet, while she made her name as a boxer, she was actually hired as a referee instead of a wrestler. And now, having established herself in NXT, she has taken to Instagram to reveal that she is in training for her first WBFF bodybuilding competition.
Why D’Errico decided to pursue a career as a referee when she has the apparent athletic ability and a background in a legitimate combat sport isn’t clear. However, in the past, WWE has been trying to recruit more female referees, and it is known that both Thunder Rosa and Tasha Steelz were previously offered this role. Therefore, perhaps it was the only spot open to D’Errico at the time, and the Providence College School of Business graduate is just happy to get her foot in the door.
