A few days ago we reported that Laynie Luck and Marcus Mathers would be leaving the WWE ID project after the company decided not to renew their contracts. However, they are not the only talents leaving the company. Sam Holloway and Cappuccino Jones will also be leaving the project. In Jones' case, it was the wrestler's decision, as he explained in a brief statement on his social media.

"After two years, my time at WWE ID has come to an end as I have decided to take a different path. I am grateful for all the knowledge, experience, and wisdom I have gained, which will accompany me throughout the rest of my career. Thank you, WWE. I am ready for my next cup. Do you know what I'm talking about?" Jones wrote.

Jones was one of the original talents of the ID program when it was officially introduced by WWE in October 2024, in addition to being the inaugural champion of the project. A title he held for 234 days and defended on the independent scene. Cappuccino was also a recurring talent on WWE EVOLVE's television programming.

Holloway also took to his social media to announce his departure from WWE. His case seems to be identical to that of Laynie Luck and Marcus Mathers, as his contract would not have been renewed by the company.

"My time in the WWE ID program has come to an end. Thank you for these incredible two years, full of unforgettable experiences, opportunities, and lessons that will accompany me throughout my entire career. I am immensely grateful for this stage, but I am even more eager to discover all that is yet to come. The work continues and I am ready to take control," Holloway wrote in X.

Holloway was also one of the original talents of the ID program. Like Jones, Holloway also appeared regularly on WWE EVOLVE's television programming. It is expected that both wrestlers will continue to appear on television in the shows that the brand already has recorded.
