New WWE ID signing announced
WWE has announced the latest signing to its WWE ID program.
On Friday, the WWE ID social media accounts posted a video showing Shawn Spears presenting Valentina Rossi with a contract.
Spears says in the video, “It has been five long years of effort, dedication, setbacks, and overcoming them, but I’m very happy to say that we spoke to the higher-ups at WWE. We spoke to Timothy Thatcher, and he sees what we see. He sees what we’ve known all along, and he is very proud to offer you a WWE ID contract.”
Rossi is originally from New Jersey but now lives in Orlando, where she trains at Flatbacks with Spears and Tyler Breeze.
She wrestled at the March 1 Ring of Honor TV tapings at WJCT Studios in Jacksonville, Florida. Prior to that, she faced Persephone at a Ring of Honor taping in November. Rossi also wrestled for the NWA last year, where she won the promotion’s women’s tag team titles alongside Tiffany Nieves. From 2021 to 2023, she also appeared on several episodes of AEW Dark.
“Couldn’t have done it without you. Couldn’t have done it without Flatbacks,” Rossi says in the video.
