At the end of October, WWE announced the launch of their Indie Developmental program. A program like their NIL program but for indie talent instead of college athletes.
The first prospect named has been confirmed as Zayda Steel. She made her wrestling debut in 2022. She has been scouted from Combat Zone Wrestling and is from Washington, D.C.
Outside of CZW, Steel has been working with Marigold since its inception earlier this year.
