Meet First Three Prospects Signing For New WWE ID Indy Prospect Program, Including Cappucino Jones

World Wrestling Entertainment has revealed the first three participants in the new WWE ID program.

WWE ID is built to work with, nurture, and develop talent directly from the independent wrestling scene. The recently announced initiative was created to work with top wrestling schools around the country identifying and supporting potential up-and-coming wrestlers.

The program works with well-known schools including Booker T’s Reality of Wrestling, Seth Rollins‘ Black and Brave Academy, and Cody Rhodes’ Nightmare Factory. These partnerships mean WWE has an opportunity to scout talent early and give prospects a chance to develop under WWE’s guidance, including access to training facilities, mentorship, and financial support​​.

This program seeks to develop individual wrestlers but also raise the profile of the entire homegrown independent wrestling ecosystem. The company is going to use WWE ID to share updates and training progress of these wrestlers with its fan base through its content all around these wrestlers’ journeys.

WWE ID could offer the prospects visibility and a structured pathway to WWE contracts, for those who excel, and as such become a welcome addition to WWE’s talent pipeline, alongside the Performance Center and NIL programs.
