5 Superstars who need better in-ring names

#2 Ruby Riot

With Asuka's recent high-profile move to the main roster, the NXT women's division is currently in a fragile state. The fact that the "Empress of Tomorrow" left the Wednesday night promotion as an undefeated champion speaks of the gulf in talent between her and the rest of the roster.

That being said, there are certain individuals with the potential to help NXT's women find their stride once again. Ember Moon, who many tipped as being the one to finally end Asuka's streak, is likely to get a shot at leading the division soon. Other names like Nikki Cross and the inaugural Mae Young Classic winner Hairi Sane, will also be waiting in the wings.

Another female in NXT who has the talent to perhaps one day lead the division is Ruby Riot. Riot has been honing her skills on the independent scene for the past seven years and now seems to have found a more permanent home under the guidance of Triple H and William Regal.

Upon her arrival at NXT, her in-ring name was rightly changed from Heidi Lovelace - a strange mix between a children's fantasy fiction character and somebody you might expect to find in the search history of a single adolescent male. Unfortunately for her, she was given the new name 'Ruby Riot'.

While this is a step up from Lovelace, Ruby Riot sounds a little too forced to be considered with any degree of seriousness. The name evokes images of some punk rock lead singer from the 70s who meaninglessly rebels against society in order to sell records.

Riot's real name is actually Dori Prange, and despite a few people may have difficulty pronouncing it, this already sounds like a dramatic improvement. There's still time for the company to think up a new in-ring name for her, but hopefully, it happens before her main roster call-up.
