On Tuesday, WWE announced its WWE Independent Development program.
The program is designed to provide up-and-coming independent wrestlers a pathway to a potential career in WWE.
According to Brandon Thurston of POST Wrestling, "Several independent wrestlers are already under contracts with WWE related to the WWE ID program."
The wrestlers reportedly under contract were not named. The deals reportedly allow the wrestlers to continue to appear at independent events and "a source familiar with the program clarified that there are no current restrictions on where contracted independent talent can appear or whether they can lose matches."
Reality of Wrestling, the Nightmare Factory, the Black and Brave Academy, Elite Pro Wrestling Training Center, and KnokX Pro Academy were the schools listed as being affiliated with the program.
The report from POST states, "At this time, no financial support is being provided to the schools."
