News of cuts across the full WWE spectrum are dominating headlines these days. However, it appears as if one hall of famer is about to return to the company in a backstage role. Molly Holly, who was inducted into the Hall of Fame at Wrestlemania this year, was backstage at RAW this week. According to Mike Johnson at PW Insider, she was having a try out for a producer role.
Molly Holly retired from full time competition in 2005, choosing to focus on family life. Since then, she has made a handful of appearances for the company, most recently at the 2020 Royal Rumble.
There is no news yet on how well the trial went, but the addition of an experienced head like Holly would certainly be a boost to backstage operations. Especially following the high number of departures the company has seen in recent weeks.
Molly Holly was a three-time champion during her five years in WWE, including one reign as the now defunct Hardcore Champion.
A trailblazer for women in wrestling and a major influence on Beth Phoenix, Molly Holly brings a lot of experience with her. While she may be a novice as a producer, she knows wrestling. She is an experienced coach and will surely help WWE’s younger talent improve their game and hone their skills.
