Ex-Boxing Champion Turned Referee Debuts For WWE NXT

The newest WWE NXT referee won’t have trouble laying down the law after joining the silver brand following a career in boxing. At last Saturday’s live event in Orlando, Florida, Vicky D’Errico made her WWE debut as an official. D’Errico was recruited by WWE after participating in the tryouts over WrestleMania 40 week in Philadelphia.

D’Errico officially joined WWE in September, according to PW Insider . News of her debut was shared by WWE official Darryl Sharma, who was a professional wrestler before donning the iconic stripes for WWE NXT.

Before joining WWE, D’Errico was a boxer and fought for the Rough N’ Rowdy promotion where she saw great success. Her debut came at Rough N’ Rowdy 10 in November 2019, and she would win the Women’s Middleweight title upon her return at Rough N’ Rowdy 20. In May 2023, D’Errico retained the gold at Rough N’ Rowdy 21, to extend her undefeated record with the promotion.

D’Errico joins Jessika Carr and Daphne LaShaun as WWE’s third active female referee, a role that has been male-dominated in the past. Now, she will be keeping an eye out for pinfall and submissions, but the newest NXT official won’t be afraid to keep the Superstars in check if they feel like bending or breaking the rules
