    Independent wrestling superstar Renee Michelle is hoping to make her trip to the UK a family affair as she wrestles for PROGRESS Wrestling in Birmingham on Saturday.<\/p>\n

    Many wrestling fans will recognise Renee from WWE television as she performed alongside her real life husband – former WWE star and current WWE creative team member James Curtin (formerly known as Drake Maverick) – as part of the 24\/7 title storyline that played out on Monday Night Raw. Along with performing in WWE, Renee has been a part of the Impact Wrestling and AEW rosters over the years.<\/p>\n

    Speaking exclusive to the Daily Star, days before heading to the O2 Academy to take on rising women\u2019s star Rhio at Feel the Noize. Renee expressed her delight at returning to the second city in the UK – a place close to her heart and the hometown of her husband and his family.<\/p>\n

    \u201cI'm super excited. I can't wait to see some old friends and then meet all types of individuals there. My mother-in-law and my soon-to-be sister-in-law is going to attend too and I think maybe my husband's brother might be there as well. It's going to be their first time seeing me wrestle in person\u201d.<\/p>\n

    <\/p>\n

    \u201cIt's one of the biggest UK promotions thus far Renee told us. And it's also James' home-based promotion. So it's a little sentimental to me because it's where he came from, like originally came from and the history of it.\u201d<\/p>\n

    Not only is the history of PROGRESS exciting the well travelled superstar, but the future does too. Recently the promotion announced that they had attracted new American investment from the International Exchange of North America and will be opening an office in New York – something which has got many talents, including Renee, looking towards a big future with the promotion.<\/p>\n

    \u201cI'm excited. Renee exclaimed. So I definitely want to keep in touch with Progress as much as I possibly can. I mean, it's about time that they have an office in the US, but better now than never.\u201d<\/p>\n

    The 37 year old independent wrestling superstar is well travelled having worked from promotions in Japan, America and beyond, however seeing the UK talent is something she is looking forward to.<\/p>\n

    \u201cAs far as watching the girls and the guys wrestle over there, they're awesome. So, of course, I actually do want to learn more the British style. I'm there to learn. I'm there also to compete as well and take whatever knowledge that I learned from over in the UK and bring it over to the US.\u201d<\/p>\n
