5 WWE Superstar Names That Were Shortened

#2 Neville

The King of the Cruiserweights does not have a first name

Neville's future may be unknown, but what we know for sure is that once he was known as Adrian Neville. When he made his transition from NXT to the main roster, he came to just be known as simply, Neville. The man put the Cruiserweight Division on the map!

No explanation has ever been provided for the change in name. We assume that it was just yet another Vince McMahon decision for reasons best known to the man himself. Whatever the case may be, Neville has proved that he's a 'one in a million' athlete, time and time again.

Let's hope he comes back to WWE again someday. The Cruiserweight Division definitely needs the man and how!
