Julie Real: Everything You Need to Know About New WWE Developmental Signee - Bleacher Report

WWE reportedly nabbed itself a jack-of-all-trades performer in Julie Real.

From singing to striking, Real has a number of talents at her disposal. She will soon get to use those to progress through the WWE developmental system.

Real recently revealed on Instagram that she has signed with the world's top wrestling promotion.

She wrote in a post, which she later deleted (h/t Wally Downes Jr. of The Sun), "So everyone wonders why I'm always MIA. Well, this is why… I've been working towards dreams and proud to say I am now officially signed with WWE!" 

Unlike when Asuka and Ember Moon scored WWE deals, there is little fanfare for Real's arrival. Most fans simply don't know who she is. 

For starters, her real name is Julia Ho.

As she mentioned in an interview before a Mosley Showdown event, she's from Virginia. The resume she built before earning a spot at WWE Performance Center in Orlando, Florida, is quite varied. Real has been a singer, model, ring girl and MMA fighter.

Her YouTube page features a handful of clips of her dancing and singing. She also lent her voice to the song "Sunshine" by DediRoc:

As a model, she has worked at a number of car shows, including 2016's Hot Import Nights Del Mar. Real has been generous in sharing images of her other model work on her Instagram account, as well.

She's also had several gigs as a ring girl, including for the Mosley Showdown company.

Eventually, though, she moved from posing outside the ring to fighting inside it. The 5'3" WWE prospect previously studied the art of grappling at Blackhouse MMA. 

She adopted the nickname WillKilla, as in Julia "WillKilla" Ho.

As noted on MixedMartialArts.com, Real is 2-0 in her career. Her first win came in 2011 when she defeated Betty Huck by unanimous decision at the One World MMA DC Max VI event. Real followed that up the next year by choking out Evelyn Johnson in the second round at Cage Fury Fighting Championships 18.

She's since decided to trade in her fighting gloves for wrestling boots. 

Downes Jr. noted that Real "had been training at the gym owned by former cruiserweight champion Brian Kendrick." Squared Circle Sirens reported in September that Real was set to attend a WWE tryout. Clearly, company officials liked what they saw.

Her versatile background will aid her in her pursuit of becoming a WWE Superstar.

Her modeling experience will be helpful with all the photo shoots and promo work required of a wrestler. Her singing ability may become part of her gimmick as it did for Aiden English. And her brief stint in the MMA world will be a boost when it comes to the physical side of the wrestling game. 

Still, the road to NXT and eventually WWE proper is a long, arduous one. At least Real will be well-armed when making that journey.
