Marcus Mathers leaves WWE ID program after two years
Marcus Mathers has left WWE ID, a program that gives independent wrestlers financial and other support.
The Philadelphia-born wrestler said on social media that his time in the program ended this week after two years.
He thanked WWE and said he gained knowledge, friendships and memories during that time.

WWE ID wrestlers may eventually be offered a full-time place in NXT, but no such offer for Mathers is mentioned.
He has already wrestled for NXT and continues to appear for independent promotions.
Mathers said he had matches scheduled against Amazing Red and Nick Gage, as well as bouts on Sunday and Monday.
Marcus Mathers announced that his time with WWE ID had ended as of the week of October 9, 2026.
Mathers said he had spent two years in the program and thanked WWE for the experience, knowledge and friendships.
He said he had trained at The Dungeon and planned to take bookings broadly, saying he was ready to fight anyone.
