“Thank you @WWEID, All the experience and knowledge will be utilized and implemented,” Rivera wrote on social media. “The growth I experienced as a Professional Wrestler the Hall of Famers, Producers and Coaches I’ve worked with, I’ll forever be grateful.”
WWE’s ID program attempts to recruit independent wrestlers into their feeder system. Wrestlers signed to ID usually continue to take independent bookings while also training at WWE’s Performance Center and appearing on programs like EVOLVE and NXT.
Rivera joined the ID program in early 2026, getting signed after five years on the American independent scene. He worked eight matches on EVOLVE during this time and was part of The Mog Squad, a four-man faction led by Max Abrams,
Rivera is one of many ID names to part ways with WWE recently. It was also announced in recent days that the program has lost Cappucino Jones, Sam Holloway, Marcus Mathers, and Laynie Luck.
