Today WWE announced a groundbreaking program which gives independent wrestlers a pathway to the company called WWEID or WWE Independent Development.
When asked about the program Chief Content Officer Paul “Triple H” Levesque described it as a way to support and strengthen the independent wrestling scene.
“WWE ID is the latest in our efforts to identify and support the journey of up-and-coming wrestlers, in turn raising the profile of and strengthening the independent wrestling ecosystem.”
This news comes after WWE’s NIL (Next In Line) program which began in 2021. WWEID will not only support indie wrestlers but also wrestling schools such as WWE Hall of Famer Booker T’s Reality of Wrestling.
Other schools that are part of the program is Undisputed WWE Champion Cody Rhodes’ Nightmare Factory (Atlanta, Georgia), Seth Rollins’ Black and Brave Academy (Davenport, Iowa), Elite Pro Wrestling Training (Concord, New Hampshire) and KnoxkX Pro Academy (Los Angeles, California).
Additionally WWEID will scout top independent talent and help them not only financially but give them access to world classes trainers and training facilities. WWE’s social media team will also showcase curated behind the scene moments and highlights of matches.

I’m the quiet one until the bell rings then I’ve got takes. I live for WWE NXT and TNA, I want every promotion to succeed, and I will absolutely roast the bad decisions on sight (because someone has to). Anime taught me to respect long-term storytelling; wrestling taught me that sometimes the plan is “we panicked” and called it “unpredictable.” The Miz got me into all of this, so yeah I appreciate confidence, commitment, and the art of talking like you’re already the main event. Now I bring that same energy to the page as the main writer for Late Night Crew Wrestling because if you’re not here to be must-see and tell the truth, why are you here?!
