6 recent times WWE helped the independent scene 

#2 Acknowledging other promotions's work in 'WWE Formerly Known As'

WWE reminisced about Seth Rollins' journey in their 'WWE Formerly Known as' show.

Previously, the WWE never acknowledged their superstars' background in the independent circuit. In the eyes of the WWE, other promotions belonged to a different universe, and the wrestlers had no connection whatsoever to their past.

However, things are changing slowly. They have started a new show named 'WWE Formerly Known As' on their YouTube and Facebook platforms. In the inaugural episode, WWE had reminisced about how Seth Rollins evolved from an uncharted Tyler Black wrestling in a pub, to become the present-day blockbuster Monday Night Rollins. Bayley, Harper, and Ruby Riott would follow the suit and recalled their dreams of becoming a WWE superstar in the subsequent episodes.

The last time WWE carried forward other promotions' storylines were in the 1990s during the Monday Night War. After an absence of nearly two decades, the WWE acknowledged the work of AJ Styles, Luke Gallows, and Karl Anderson as a single unit outside the WWE. It is a welcome change, and we hope that we see more partnerships in the near future.
