News Summary:

As the road to WrestleMania 42 progresses, WWE lists several high-profile names as free agents, a status that carries more weight and is not considered a setback in today’s WWE. Earlier on March 22, former WWE NXT wrestler Danny Burch (Martin Stone) revealed on Cafe De Rene that NXT would frequently monitor AEW Dynamite and alter its plans at the last minute based on their competitor's programming. The company also signed multiple indie wrestlers to ID deals, according to a recent Fightful Select report, which confirmed Notorious Mimi, using her old ring name Sloane Jacobs, as one of the new signings present at an EVOLVE taping. On March 21, WWE filed trademarks for five potential new wrestler names intended for entertainment services: "Max Abrams," "Veronica Haven," "Gianna Capri," "Anya Rune," and "Jacari Ball." The "Max Abrams" trademark is reportedly for WWE ID prospect Mike Cunningham, who joined the program in October 2025, suggesting the company is preparing a defined character identity for him.
