WWE ID prospect announces departure from program

Indie wrestler Freedom Ramsey is no longer part of the WWE ID talent development program.

Ramsey announced his departure from WWE ID this week in a video posted to social media. He did not give a reason for no longer being part of the program, but Ramsey said WWE has always been a dream of his and he learned, grew, and developed during his time with ID. Ramsey is excited for his next chapter, though he doesn’t know what that looks like yet.

“I just wanted to share something: I am no longer with WWE ID,” Ramsey announced. “This did not happen publicly, some things are just meant to be handled behind closed doors. I just wanted to keep it real with the fans who have supported me since day one, whether it was in small gyms or in the bright lights.

“WWE has always been a dream of mine. It changed me. Wrestling on WWE Evolve, training at the Performance Center, just meeting everybody I used to see on TV — I learned, I grew, I developed. Now a new chapter begins, and I’m not sure what that looks like yet, but I’m going to come into it with the same hunger that I did when I started professional wrestling. Thank you guys for the support. Thank you for riding with me. This journey is far from over.”

Ramsey joined WWE ID in November 2024 with his ID contract being presented at a show for City Championship Wrestling in Michigan. He was trained by Truth Martini at the House of Truth Wrestling School.

In his WWE debut, Ramsey teamed with ID prospect Aaron Rourke in a loss to NXT tag team Tyson Dupont & Tyriek Igwe on the April 30 episode of Evolve.

Ramsey was part of the WWE ID Championship tournament, losing in the first round. The inaugural men’s and women’s ID champs have not been crowned yet.

The WWE ID program, which was launched in October 2024, sees WWE partner with select indie wrestlers and training schools, providing wrestlers with financial support, other development opportunities, and a potential pathway to joining NXT full-time.
