WWE contracts typically range from developmental contracts to multi-year deals. WWE describes most personnel as "independent contractors". Personnel on the main roster appear on specific brands such as Raw and SmackDown while they can also appear on WWE's primary weekly television programming such as Main Event, and Total Divas as well as pay-per-views, and on untelevised live events.
205 Live is a weekly program exclusive to cruiserweight competitors (205 lbs and under), whom are assigned to the Raw brand.
Personnel from the NXT brand appear on the television series of the same name, which airs online in the U.S. and on TV in select countries and on NXT branded live events. Personnel on the main roster may also periodically wrestle in NXT and vice versa.
Personnel are organized below by their role in WWE. Their ring name is on the left and their real name is on the right. If someone is inactive for any reason, due to injury, suspension, not appearing in more than 30 days, or otherwise, that information is noted. WWE refers to all in-ring performers as "Superstars".
