This is not the full list of contracted talent, as new talent will be debuting over the course of the next several weeks.
Guest stars (John Blade, The Keisters, etc) will not be brand exclusive and can appear on either show.
Teams will count as one pick, unless a GM specifies one member of the team.
Sussex County Championship Wrestling currently serves as the developmental territory for FGA, as well as the World Crown Syndicate. The following talents have informed FGA officials that they are willing to have their rights drafted: Harper Hill, Thunderbelly, Ash Fi, Rocky Rhodes, Sammie Rósza (there are eight other talents that are undecided). Should these five (or any other) talent from SCCW be drafted, the brand that selected them will hold their draft rights until they've been called up. Draft rights can be traded.
The FGA Undisputed and World Tag Team Championship are not brand exclusive. While their champions will be drafted by one brand or the other, the title holders will be able to appear on both shows. If a grappler were to lose their championship, then he or she will become exclusive to the brand that they were drafted to.
The FGA Pride, Mid-Atlantic Legacy, and 15 Championship are brand exclusive.
The broadcast teams for both shows will remain as is. For Vertigo: Kris Cruise on play-by-play, Stephy Auger on color commentary, J.A. Aldridge as the ring announcer and both Spencer Burke and Jessie Pederson as interviewers. For Flashpoint: Geoff Penzer as play-by-play, Melanie Sierra as the ring announcer and Amanda Johnson handling the interviews.
The Brand Extension Draft will be held on Sunday, September 10 at the Hammerstein Ballroom in the Manhattan Center in New York City, NY.
