WWE ID: William Regal Scouts Two More Prospects

The WWE ID program has welcomed two new recruits who were given William Regal’s seal of approval at the latest SmackDown. Regal informed Marcus Mathers and Sam Holloway at the show that WWE has kept an eye on the pair on the independents and welcomed the pair to the recruitment program.

Marcus Mathers

Marcus Mathers has been wrestling since 2019 and joins WWE ID after establishing himself in Game Changer Wrestling. Mathers challenged Blake Christian for the GCW Heavyweight Title at Look At Me in January of this year but came up short. In September of this year, Mathers appeared on AEW Rampage, where he and Joe Keys lost to Roderick Strong & The Beast Mortos.

Sam Holloway

Scouted from the International Wrestling Cartel, Sam ‘Hardway’ Holloway has been competing since 2022. Holloway is the reigning IWC Super Indy Champion, having won the title against Zach Nystrom in the finals of a tournament at IWC Super Indy 23. That tournament saw Holloway defeat WWE alum Elijah and he has also shared the ring with former Superstars including Jake Hager and Matt Cardona.

WWE has partnered with several leading professional wrestling schools across the United States to help identify top-rising prospects. Contracted WWE ID prospects receive assistance with training and mentorship, access to world-class training facilities, athletic trainers, and more.

Expect The Unexpected Just Gettin’ Warm Results & Highlights: Marcus Mathers vs. Ken Broadway, Miracle Generation vs. High Flying Star Machines

Independent wrestling promotion Expect The Unexpected returned after a two-month break with an exciting match card. In the main event, Key To The East Champion Marcus Mathers defended his title against his rival Ken Broadway in a Deathmatch.

ETU had built towards their main event for a few months, dating back to when Mathers won his championship. He won the title by defeating Masha Slamovich and Broadway in a three-way elimination match at ETU Summer Madness on July 30. After the match, Broadway made his intentions clear that he wanted another title opportunity.

The feud continued when Broadway and his faction Killionaires Club (J Boujii & PB Smooth) defeated Mathers, Austin Luke & Dyln McKay at ETU Nostalgia, Ultra on September 23. After the loss, Mathers made the Deathmatch against Broadway official for the Key To The East Championship for ETU Just Gettin’ Warm. 

In the main event of the show, both Mathers and Broadway tested their limits as they tried to do whatever it took to win. The finish came when Mathers landed a Gotch Piledriver on a stack of steel chairs for the win. 

After the match, Broadway shared that Mathers earned his respect, and they shook hands to seemingly end their rivalry. 

Another match on the card had IWTV Independent Tag Team Champions Miracle Generation (Dustin Waller & Kylon King) successfully defending their titles against High Flying Star Machines (Bojack & Diego Hill). 

 High Flying Star Machines hoped to pull off the upset, but Waller and King proved why they are one of the best tag teams in wrestling today. 

ETU Just Gettin’ Warm occurred at The Heart Ballroom in  Newark, New Jersey. The event went live on Independent Wrestling TV. To watch the event, you must pay $10 for a subscription.
