Several WWE Superstars Get New Ring Names

Several WWE Superstars will be using different ring names moving forward.

Nikki Cross recently introduced a new super hero character. She doesn’t have superpowers, but instead is focused on being a good person and inspiring others. She is now known as Nikki A.S.H. (Almost a Super Hero).

A.S.H. competed on Raw last week (against Shayna Bazsler) as Nikki Cross, so this is a new change ahead of WWE’s return to live touring later this week.

Former Retribution members Reckoning and Slapjack have shed those names and have reverted back to Mia Yim and Shane Thorne, respectively.

Last week on SmackDown, we saw the main roster debuts of Shotzi Blackheart and Tegan Nox. Nox’s last name was spared, but Blackheart is now going by simply Shotzi.

WWE has a long history of renaming wrestlers when they join NXT or get called up to the main roster. Just a few weeks ago, the following Performance Center recruits got new names as well:

• Harlem Bravado is now Andre Chase
• Drew and Jacob Kasper are now Brutus and Julius Creed
• Avery Taylor is now Jacy Jayne
