9 Wrestlers Who Had Their Names Shortened on the Main Roster

#7 From Antonio Cesaro to Cesaro

The Swiss Superman.

Another dropping of the first name, Antonio Cesaro wrestler a considerable portion of his WWE career with his first name attached to him. He won the United States Championship as Antonio Cesaro, but in 2014 he saw that name change to just Cesaro.

There still has been no explanation for this name change, as this was a quieter change than the others. However, belief runs rampant that this name was changed for the same reasons as to why most name changes of this sort happen. Vince McMahon just thought that calling him simply 'Cesaro' will make it seem more powerful, and him more marketable.
