Triple H Comments On How WWE Will Support WWE ID Prospects

Triple H discusses how the WWE ID program will work.

As previously announced, the WWE ID program will see the company identify independent wrestlers with an official designation and support them.

During the WWE Survivor Series: WarGames Post-Show, WWE Chief Content Officer Triple H was asked to comment on how the company would support WWE ID prospects.

“WWE ID, there’s a lot made about our NIL programs, our college athlete recruiting and where we do that, but there’s also a group of men and women that are out there that, for whatever reason, found their way to professional wrestling, whether that was after college, before college, whatever that is, they went a different route than college athletes did,” Triple H said. “We don’t want to negate any of them, so we’re keeping our eye on all of them. But the independent scene is very difficult.

“That’s a long, hard road, and we’re trying to make that easier. So we’re trying yo pay attention to the people that are at the top of those lists, the people that have the most potential within that grouping, we’re going to support them in their careers financially. We’re going to support them in their careers from an education standpoint.”

Triple H: WWE ID Will Strengthen Independent Scene

Triple H continued by highlighting how the WWE ID program would work. He explained how the company would help guide the prospects and make changes as needed. He stated that the program was meant to strengthen the independent scene.

“As they’re going through their journey, as long as they’re continuing to progress, we stay with them, they send us their matches, we’re helping to guide them, what they’re doing right, what they’re doing wrong, how they can progress, how we can make them pros,” he said. “They can make their way to the Performance Center. There will be some other announcements about content and some things that we will do with them, but it’s all geared towards helping those kids as these college athletes get their opportunities to try to make it in this business, that they get their opportunities to make it in this business.

“If somebody is working really hard and they’re busting their ass every week and they’re progressing and they’re continuing to grow, they stay in our system until it’s time for them to outgrow that system. If they’re not, we’ll make moves, and we’ll change some people around, and we’ll get to the people that we feel like that long-term investment can pay off, not just for us, but for the industry itself. The strength of our business is built on the strength of the athletes across all things. So while we’re extremely excited about NIL and our college recruiting and everything that we’re doing there…this is another way for us to amplify that. So it’s to strengthen that independent scene.”
