List of WWE rosters
WWE is an American wrestling - Promotion of workforce professional wrestlers and wrestlers , managers , Play-by-play and color commentators, ring announcer, referee , Road Agent includes and administrative staff. The WWE usually awards multi-year contracts and the wrestlers are known as independent contractors .
After the acquisition of World Championship Wrestling and Extreme Championship Wrestling , the workforce was split into the two roster Raw and SmackDown . From 2006 to 2010 there was a third roster with the ECW before the show was discontinued. Opportunities for joint appearances were only available at pay-per-view events. At the end of 2011, the WWE announced the end of the roster split , so that it was now possible for the Superstars to appear in all WWE shows and defend titles. Since the roster split was reintroduced in 2016, the roster has been divided into two different squads again in the course of the draft . Wrestlers will appear again exclusively for Raw , SmackDown or NXT during the second roster split , while cruiserweight wrestlers will appear on 205 Live and NXT .
Wrestlers are trained at the Performance Center in Orlando, Florida. The UK-based wrestlers train at the Performance Center in London, England. Since the WWE has partnerships with independent promotions such as Evolve, Insane Championship Wrestling, Progress Wrestling and Westside Xtreme Wrestling , wrestlers from these promotions can also appear regularly at events.
