Overview

  • Zayda Steel announced on Oct. 9 that she will not renew her WWE ID contract, thanking the program while saying she is pursuing what is best for her career.
  • Kylie Rae said the same day that she was informed her WWE ID deal will not be renewed, weeks after vacating the inaugural women’s championship due to pregnancy.
  • Steel was among the first prospects named to the program in 2024 and appeared regularly on WWE EVOLVE while continuing independent dates, including a Sept. 28 match.
  • Rae won the first WWE ID Women’s Championship in August during SummerSlam weekend before relinquishing it following her pregnancy announcement in late September.
  • The exits extend a 2025 trend of turnover in WWE ID, following the March departure of Freedom Ramsay and August releases of Ice Williams, Jordan Oasis, and Aaron Roberts, and WWE has not provided a broader explanation.
