Notes on WWE name changes

Added 2022-09-03 16:58:22 +0000 UTC

There have been several name changes within WWE of late.

As seen on Clash at the Castle, "Theory" has regained his first name, and is known as Austin Theory again. However, we've been told that he was actually in favor of the switch to one name as things progressed.

Another person who was okay with their name change was Riddle, who is back to being "Matt Riddle" internally and on the show. Triple H noted that he made the change back to reflect realism, and the change has also been made on internal documents. Riddle had said he didn't mind the adjustment in the first place.

So far, Pete Dunne is still listed as Butch on internal documents, despite him regaining his Pete Dunne-style gear. We haven't heard that anything will change as far as his name.

Seth Rollins is still Seth "Freakin" Rolllins internally.

We've also been asked about T-Bar quite a bit after rumors of a rebrand. Thus far he's still listed under the T-BAR moniker on internal roster sheets.
