It’s been nearly two years since WWE started the ID program, a program that recently underwent some housecleaning in the early fall. Over the past few months, WWE has let go of WWE ID talent, including names like Former WWE Women’s ID Champion Lainey Luck, Marcus Mathers, Cappuccino Jones, Santi Riveraand former EVOLVE talent Anya Roo, who has since announced his retirement from wrestling. And there’s at least one more to the list. Fightful Select is reporting that Jimmy House, better known as EVOLVE’s CJ Valor, has also been released from the ID program, News House confirmed to Fightful’s Sean Ross Sapp himself.
There was some speculation about House’s status on the show after he revealed last month that he would once again be booking under the ring name Jimmy House. Despite being released, House doesn’t seem bitter about the ordeal, speaking highly of his experience on the program, particularly praising former WWE star Shawn Waltman, who House looked to for guidance. He was also complimentary of EVOLVE head Gabe Sapolsky, who he credited with helping sign House.
The 30-year-old from Glendale, Arizona, House originally broke through when he wrestled AEW star Dustin Rhodes for the Rhodes Wrestling Association promotion in 2023; although it is an offshoot of Rhodes’ Rhodes Wrestling Academy, it is unclear if House received his initial training there. Other promotions that House has appeared for include Booker T Wrestling Reality and even Ring of Honor, where he worked in November 2025, losing to The Dark Order in a three-way match. He signed with the WWE ID in March 2026, a tenure that lasted just six months.
