Wrestlers such as “Stone Cold” Steve Austin, Bray Wyatt, and John Cena are iconic names in wrestling. There’s no doubt about that. Now think of The Ringmaster, Husky Harris, or The Prototype. Do these sound iconic? Definitely not. But these three wrestlers once worked under these monikers. If it wasn’t for the name changes they went through in their careers, likely, these wrestlers would never have become this big.
Sometimes, a name change is much needed to elevate a wrestler’s status in WWE. More often than not, however, WWE botches this part. Over the past few years, many wrestlers have adopted new names, and it’s rarely worked out for anyone. Stars like Gunther and Bron Breakker are exceptions to this.
Zelina Vega
The most recent name to get a name change in WWE is Zelina Vega. It happened very recently. If anyone looks at Zelina Vega’s WWE profile now, she’s listed as just “Zelina.”
This doesn’t make a lot of sense because she’s always been known as Zelina Vega to the fans (excluding that time she became Queen of the Ring and was known as Queen Zelina). There was no reason to change it now.
