Below is an ongoing resource list featuring confirmed WWE ID signings.
The WWE Independent Development (WWE ID) program was created to provide a path for independent wrestlers who want to build careers in WWE.
WWE ID is structured to support promising independent wrestling talent and training schools by providing access to world-class training, development, and mentorship. This initiative is set to improve the profile of the independent wrestling community and contribute to its growth and sustainability.
Through WWE ID, select premier independent wrestling schools across the U.S. will receive the "WWE ID" designation, helping guide new trainees and current talent with advanced developmental resources.
