22-year-old Zara Zakher is the latest name to get brought onboard for WWE’s new ID program.
Zakher is a fast-rising star on the U.S. independent scene who only made her debut in early 2023. In her brief time as a talent, she has gone on tours for Japanese brand TJPW, appeared on GCW, DPW and NJPW cards, and wrestled over 100 matches, per database Cagematch.net.

The California-based prospect is the third WWE ID talent with less than three full years of in-ring experience, showing how early in a talent’s career the program is willing to invest. Other wrestling newcomers who have been ID’d include Cappuccino Jones and Zayda Steel.
The WWE ID roster also includes Bryce Donovan and Jack Cartwheel, who was just announced for the program on Friday afternoon.
The WWE ID program is quickly rolling out, having already announced a wave of names after the program was revealed just a little less than two weeks back. The system puts a spotlight on up-and-coming talent, giving viewers a chance to “follow the stories” of wrestlers “as they travel the pathway of the WWE Independent Development.”
