WWE is ramping up its ID program with the introduction of two new title belts.

Paul “Triple H” Levesque sent out a social media post on Tuesday announcing that men’s and women’s championships have been created for the ID (Independent Development) program. Created in October 2024, WWE ID is a system where WWE partners with independent wrestlers and training schools. Indie wrestlers who sign WWE ID deals receive financial support from WWE, in addition to other benefits like mentorship and access to training facilities.

The top independent wrestling prospects have been ID’d… and now, we’re ready to spotlight the best of the best.

The inaugural WWE ID Champions will be determined by a tournament taking place on the “top independent wrestling promotions.” The belts will then be defended on the indies. Further details about the tournament — including the participants and when it will be happening — have not been announced yet.

Kylie Rae, Jack Summit (Jack Cartwheel), Aaron Rourke, Marcus Mathers, Bryce Donovan, Zayda Steel, and Zara Zakher are among the talent that’s been signed to WWE ID.

Official matches involving WWE ID prospects take place on the indies and are spotlighted on WWE ID’s social media accounts. Victories can earn prospects an opportunity to compete on WWE Evolve, a new series that debuts on Tubi this March.
