Die World Wrestling Alliance ist eine in New England aktive Independent-Liga, die 1996 von Promoter Mike Sparta und der Wrestlerin Brittany Brown gegründet wurde. Sie war 1998 kurzzeitig Farmliga der World Wrestling Federation, so dass einige spätere Stars der Attitude-Ära wie etwa Edge, Christian, Test und Albert dort Erfahrungen sammelten. Unter anderem wurde in der WWA so auch ein Stück Wrestlinggeschichte geschrieben, indem Kurt Angle dort sein Wrestlingdebüt feierte.
