History

In October 2024, WWE introduced the WWE ID program to support the development of independent wrestlers by collaborating with various wrestling schools and promotions. The inaugural partners included Reality of Wrestling, Black and Brave Academy, Nightmare Factory, Elite Pro Wrestling Training Center, and KnokX Pro Academy. [2]

On February 18, 2025, during a press conference, WWE's Chief Content Officer, Paul Levesque, unveiled the WWE ID Championship. This title is designed to be defended both within WWE events mainly on the Evolve brand and across the independent circuit, offering emerging talent increased exposure and opportunities. [3] The inaugural champion will be determined through a tournament featuring top prospects from the WWE ID program. Notably, the tournament matches are scheduled to take place at various independent wrestling shows, highlighting WWE's collaboration with the independent wrestling scene. The finals date and location have not been announced yet. [4]

Design

The WWE ID Championship belt features a modern design, incorporating elements that represent both WWE's legacy and the independent wrestling scene. The center plate prominently displays the WWE logo, flanked by customizable side plates that can be personalized by the reigning champion. [5]
