5 WWE Superstar Names That Were Shortened

#3 Big E

Don't you dare be sour, Mr. Langston

Big E has actually commented on why his name was shortened from Big E Langston. This is what he revealed to AfterBuzz TV, almost three years ago:

The word I got was that Vince thought 'Big E' sounded more powerful without the last name so you show up and sometimes you know with what we do there's a debate or a discussion or you talk more say so and it's a little more hands on. And in this case it was a matter of me showing up and this is who you are now so you deal with it.

It is easy to forget that Langston was ever a part of his name. But the fact remains that Big E Langston fell prey to Vince McMahon's habit of shortening the names of WWE Superstars.
