WWE is launching its inaugural WWE ID Championship tournaments, with the opening rounds taking place next month.
The WWE ID program, announced in October, is a strategic partnership between WWE and independent promotions and training schools. Participants receive financial support and access to WWE training facilities.
It will start at independent wrestling shows during WrestleMania 41 week. The tournament, designed to crown the first-ever WWE ID Champions, will begin with matches at GCW’s event on Wednesday, April 16th, held at The Collective at The Palms in Las Vegas.
More opening-round matches will follow at FSW’s show on Friday, April 18th, at the FSW Arena. The tournament winners will defend their titles on the independent circuit.
WWE has confirmed the following talent bookings for both the GCW and FSW events: Sean Legacy, Zayda Steel, Ice Williams, Jackson Drake, Swipe Right (Brad Baylor & Ricky Smokes), Zara Zakher, and Cappuccino Jones.
