Overview
As of 2024, WWE employs over 800 full-time employees as part of its business operations, spread across its three segments: Media, Live Events, and Consumer Products. In addition, they contract with various other vendors and service providers. As part of its Live Events segment, WWE signs performers known as professional wrestlers; these performers are described by the company as "independent contractors", with contracts for performers typically ranging from short developmental to multi-year deals.Brands
Since the reintroduction of WWE's brand extension in 2016, performers are assigned to one of two primary "main roster" brands: Raw and SmackDown.A third brand, NXT, had originally been designated as a developmental brand for the main roster. In 2019, it was elevated to the third main roster brand. But in 2021, the brand's weekly television show was rebooted as "NXT 2.0", and was reinstated to its original status as the developmental division for the main roster, though it has since dropped the "2.0" name.
In 2025, WWE introduced a fourth brand, called Evolve, which features wrestlers who are just beginning their training at the WWE Performance Center under the WWE NIL program, as well as wrestlers in independent promotions that are part of the WWE ID program, with the goal of advancing to NXT.
Main roster performers primarily appear on Monday Night Raw and Friday Night SmackDown. Advanced developmental wrestlers appear on NXT, while beginning developmental wrestlers appear on Evolve. Supplementary shows include Main Event, which features Raw and SmackDown wrestlers, and LFG, which features Evolve wrestlers.
Performers may also appear on WWE's other weekly television programming, as well as on its Premium Live Events and untelevised house shows.
A majority of personnel in WWE's developmental system train at the Performance Center in Orlando, Florida.
Championships
For the most part, the brands have their own distinct championships, but some select titles are open to all the brands, such as the WWE Speed Championship for male wrestlers, as well as the WWE Women's Speed Championship and WWE Women's Tag Team Championship for female wrestlers.WWE wrestlers holding championships from Mexican sister promotion AAA Worldwide">Lucha Libre AAA Worldwide">AAA Worldwide, U.S. partner promotion Total Nonstop Action Wrestling, and Japanese partner promotion Pro Wrestling Noah are also recognized by WWE.
