5 WWE Superstars who changed their names more than once

#2 Bray Wyatt

WWE's most sinister entity has changed his name several times throughout his career. Bray Wyatt began working matches in FCW way back in 2009 and was called Alex Rotunda back then.

When he joined NXT in mid-2010, his name was changed to Husky Harris. Harris came up to the main roster at the Hell In A Cell 2010 PPV, where he and Michael McGillicutty interfered in a match between Nexus leader Wade Barrett and John Cena. The duo was soon inducted into the stable. The Harris character didn't work and he was soon sent back to FCW.

In 2013, Bray Wyatt made his main roster debut along with Luke Harper and Erick Rowan. The gimmick worked wonders for him and Wyatt enjoyed major rivalries against the likes of John Cena, Kane, and Randy Orton. He even won the WWE title on one occasion but didn't hold it for long.

After months of absence, Wyatt returned to WWE TV as The Fiend, a terrifying figure whose mere presence was enough to send chills down Superstars' spine. The Fiend is currently a mainstay on SmackDown and is one of the most popular Superstars in all of WWE.

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.
