As noted before, WWE recently announced that they will be launching a new indie wrestler development program called WWE ID and have affiliated with several wrestling schools to specifically develop indie wrestlers for potential careers in the company.
Wrestlenomics’ Brandon Thurston reported in a recent episode of the Pollock & Thurston podcast that his sources stated that several indie wrestlers have already been signed to WWE ID contracts by WWE.
No names nor other details were given regarding who had signed the deals but Thurston believes that an official announcement is expected to be made at some point.
Thurston reported that those spoken to stated that as of now, talent under WWE ID contracts currently can work wherever they want with no restrictions on finishes for their matches.
In regards to how WWE’s new ID program works, Thurston reported that those spoken to close to the situation stated that WWE is currently only working with the schools they listed for their program and not with indie promotions as of now. Thurston also reported that WWE is currently not giving any financial support to their affiliated schools for the program.
