9 Wrestlers Who Had Their Names Shortened on the Main Roster

#3 From Luke Harper and Erick Rowan to Harper and Rowan

The hammer-wielding maniacs are the Smackdown Live Tag Team Champions right now.

Another one in which one portion of the name was just dropped, Luke Harper's repackaging with partner Erick Rowan meant that they would lose their first names for The Bludgeon Brother's gimmick.

This is a directive straight from Vince McMahon, as he believes that they would sound more powerful with just their last names. Whether or not that has made a difference or not, ditching their relatively dorky first names may have actually made a subconscious impact on the audiences for the duo. Good for them.
