5 WWE Superstars who changed their names more than once

#4 Paige

Paige's WWE career didn't last long, unfortunately, but she managed to become a major star during her short run with the company as an active performer. Way before she made it to WWE, Paige wrestled for years in the European independent circuit and appeared in a string of promotions. She used the ring name Britani Knight at the time.

When Paige signed a contract with WWE in 2011, she was sent to Florida Championship Wrestling to hone her skills. Her name was changed to Saraya, which was also her real-life name, and the moniker donned by her mother when she was an active wrestler.

She wrestled a handful of matches using this name and WWE soon changed it again to Paige. The name wasn't changed after that and Paige moved to the main roster in 2014. She won the WWE Divas Championship in her debut match on RAW by defeating AJ Lee. Paige had rivalries with Lee, Charlotte Flair, and many others over the next three years. She was injured at a house show in late 2017, which ultimately led to her in-ring retirement the next year.

He completed his MBA from the Symbiosis Institute of Telecom Management in 2016 and worked with multiple banking institutions, including Tech Mahindra. While he started writing WWE articles for Sportskeeda in 2019 as a hobby, it eventually became a significant part of his professional journey.

Abhilash checks his articles thrice before sending them to the editing team, ensuring his work is highly accurate and reliable.

He has interviewed prominent pro wrestling personalities like Noam Dar, Angry Miz Girl, Brendan Cobbina, and Jesse Lambert. Abhilash is a big fan of AEW star Orange Cassidy, as he believes the former International Champion’s on-screen gimmick of an extremely lazy guy resonates with him.

Given the opportunity to script WWE’s next big storyline, Abhilash would treat fans to the second installment of The Bloodline Civil War. He would book Roman Reigns to re-form The Bloodline with The Usos and Sami Zayn upon his comeback. The angle would see The Tribal Chief-led group go head-to-head with The Rock, Solo Sikoa, Tama Tonga, and Jacob Fatu in a blockbuster family feud.

When not reporting on pro wrestling, Abhilash likes to work out, go on walks, read, and explore new eateries.
