partnership between WWE ID and the “Evolve” brand, an initiative designed as a developmental pipeline for emerging independent wrestling talent, has reportedly parted ways with three of its participants. According to PWInsider, Las Vegas standout Ice Williams, Washington State’s Jordan Oasis, and Mississippi’s Aaron Roberts are among those released.

The three wrestlers had been training under the WWE ID banner, which scouts and refines independent wrestlers while giving them exposure on WWE-affiliated platforms. Their time in the program coincided with the ongoing partnership between WWE ID and the “Evolve” brand, where many participants sharpen their skills in front of a live audience.

Williams, a fixture on the Las Vegas independent circuit, had earned praise for his charisma and in-ring athleticism, while Oasis brought a reputation as a promising heavyweight presence from the Pacific Northwest. Despite their release, both men are still set to appear on upcoming episodes of “Evolve” that were previously taped before their departure.

The WWE ID program has seen fluctuating participation since its launch, with regular roster adjustments reflecting WWE’s ongoing evaluation of which talents fit into its long-term plans. While being released is undoubtedly a setback, Williams and Oasis now return to the broader independent scene with added visibility, which could lead to fresh opportunities across promotions.

One of the released talents, Aaron Roberts took to X to post a video with the caption, “I was fired from my dream job.”

The video had a motivational theme with Roberts claiming he is more motivated than ever to prove WWE wrong.

Former WWE Writer Shares Disturbing Story Involving Vince McMahon & Ashley Massaro

In the wake of Janel Grant accusing former WWE Chairman Vince McMahon of sex trafficking and abuse in a 2024 lawsuit, a new light was shone on the tragic story of former WWE wrestler Ashley Massaro. Massaro, who passed away in 2019, had previously filed a lawsuit against WWE in 2016, claiming she had been sexually assaulted during a WWE Tribute to the Troops tour years earlier, and that WWE ultimately persuaded her not to report it. The incident was later investigated by NCIS, who closed the case in 2020.

After her death, it emerged that Massaro had also accused McMahon of preying on her and other female talents, as well as punishing her when she rejected her advances, accusations that were corroborated by her former boyfriend, Paul London. Today however, an even more disturbing story involving Massaro and McMahon has emerged. On the “Bein’ Ian with Jordan Jensen” podcast, former WWE writer Dan St. German told a story of McMahon made sexual advances towards Massaro in front of other WWE wrestlers and personnel while on a plane ride during a WWE European tour.

According to St. German, upon the plane landing, McMahon asked for everyone to leave the plane except him and Massaro. The wrestlers then proceeded to the tarmac, while St. German claims McMahon and Massaro had sex on the plane, with St. German providing graphic details as the podcast hosts laughed. St. German didn’t give a time table for when the incident took place, beyond saying it occurred during a “SmackDown” tour. Neither St. German nor the other podcast hosts brought up the accusations Massaro or London had made towards McMahon, leaving it unclear if they were unaware of them.

Roman Reigns Reflects on Lessons Learned from Vince McMahon

Posted by admin on August 28th, 2025

Roman Reigns Reflects on Lessons Learned from Vince McMahon – Roman Reigns, one of the final top stars hand-picked by Vince McMahon to represent WWE for a new generation, recently opened up about his unique bond with the former Chairman. Speaking with Stephanie McMahon on the What’s Your Story podcast, Reigns revealed how his relationship with Vince differed from that of legends like Hulk Hogan, “Stone Cold” Steve Austin, and The Rock.

Reigns explained that being the youngest of McMahon’s “top guys” meant he had to approach their relationship differently. “That’s who I like, cut my teeth, negotiating with, doing business with, was your dad, and that’s how I feel. I’m not intimidated by anybody anymore. There were times where I had to get used to him, and we had to learn each other’s ways. But I’m the youngest of all his top guys, you know. So I didn’t have that relationship like a lot of the other guys were afforded and the time, but for the compared to like anybody else, you know, Hogan or Steve or Dwayne those guys, I don’t think I got as much of his time, but I was picking up as much knowledge as I could, even if he he may not even realize it.”

According to Reigns, two key lessons from McMahon have shaped his outlook both inside and outside the ring. The first was the reminder to always be “present” with his family, something McMahon emphasized during times when Reigns was fully consumed by work. “He would always tell me, and this is when I was so locked in at work that I wasn’t holding up my end on the other side. And he would just tell me, You’ve got to be present. When you go home, you have to be present. It doesn’t matter what you do out here. You have to be present. And I took that to heart so much.”

The second was a business philosophy of staying just ahead of the competition without moving too far beyond the audience. “He’d always say, you want to be ahead of the curve, but not too far… And in just so many different ways, and especially in business, that has just rang true.”

For Reigns, these lessons remain central to his career and personal life, shaping how he balances his role as WWE’s “Tribal Chief” with his responsibilities away from the spotlight.
