Also, shortly after the inception of the program, many were wondering whether those under the WWE ID banner would be unable to take bookings in AEW. While details on this is still yet to be solidified, the report notes that some performers that have been signed to a deal have been working for AEW and ROH since coming to terms.

“Many of these deals were solidified quite a while ago, and some of the talent signed or agreed to have already working AEW or ROH dates since starting those talks.”

It’s said that WWE may look to talent on the independent scene that have experience working for a major company to be part of the project, and more reveals are believed to be planned in the near future.

As always, we’ll aim to provide any further updates on WWE ID as soon as we hear more.
