WWE ID’s original class continues to shrink. Just days after Sam Holloway confirmed his departure, a new report says two more familiar names are officially out of the developmental program.
According to Mike Johnson of PWInsider, Cappuccino Jones and Santi Rivera are no longer part of WWE ID. Unlike Holloway, neither wrestler has publicly announced their departure, but Johnson confirmed that both have exited the program.
Jones leaves after being one of the most recognizable names in WWE ID. He held the WWE ID Men’s Championship for 234 days, carrying the title from August 2025 until March 2026. He’s also continued building his résumé outside the program and currently holds the Reality of Wrestling Texas Championship.
Rivera, meanwhile, is just 24 years old and has been wrestling since 2021. During that time, he’s worked for several independent promotions, including Create A Pro Wrestling, Beyond Wrestling and Reality of Wrestling, among others.
The latest exits come just a day after Sam Holloway announced that his two-year run in WWE ID had come to an end. Marcus Mathers and Laynie Luck also recently departed the program, while Veronica Haven previously moved on earlier this year, making it a significant wave of turnover from WWE ID’s original group.
Even with several original names heading out the door, WWE has continued adding fresh talent to the program. Still, the latest departures show the roster is changing faster than many fans expected, and it remains to be seen who could be next to move on.
Which former WWE ID talent do you think has the brightest future outside the program? Let us know in the comments below.
