5 WWE Wrestlers that have the same first name as another WWE wrestler

With WWE having signed talent on Monday Night Raw, SmackDown Live, 205 Live, NXT, and NXT UK, it is nearly impossible for some WWE wrestlers to not share a first name with another wrestler. These wrestlers may not be alike in the ring, but they do share a first name. In fact, Bobby Roode & Bobby Lashley have the same first name and both compete on the same brand. We will see if a pair of wrestlers sharing a name will lead to potential storylines between the two performers.

Xia Li & Xia Brookside

Xia Li is part of the NXT women's division while...

Xia Brookside is a part of the new NXT UK women's division.

Xia Li competed in last year's Mae Young Classic and will compete in this year's Mae Young Classic as well. She wrestled her first match against Mercedes Martinez in the first round of last year's Mae Young Classic and although she lost, she looked pretty good in the ring.

She has not appeared on NXT since then, so she can do some more training. However, she will likely make her debut on NXT soon given the fact that she competed in the second Mae Young Classic as well.

Xia Brookside will compete in this year's Mae Young Classic against Io Shirai in the first round. Although she is expected to lose this match, she will probably look great in the ring. This incredible superstar from London is only 19 years old but is already incredible in the ring. She is already an integral part of the NXT UK women's division as she competed in the tournament to crown the first ever NXT UK Women's Champion.

She will probably continue to be showcased throughout NXT UK. Given the fact that superstars such as Dakota Kai are able to compete on both NXT and NXT UK, it is possible that we see a match between these 2 women next year.

Lacey Evans & Lacey Lane

Lacey Evans has become a big part of NXT's Women's division.

Lacey Lane will soon become a big part of the women's division of NXT.

Lacey Evans competed in the first Mae Young Classic last year. She won her first round match against Taynara Conti but was defeated by Toni Storm in the second round. Since then, she has become one of the biggest heels of the NXT Women's Division. She has vastly improved in the ring since her appearance in the Mae Young Classic (although she was never a bad performer.)

'The Lady of NXT' has managed to gain victories over the likes of Dakota Kai, Aliyah, and even current NXT Women's Champion Kairi Sane. She has been so great on NXT that she might even get a championship opportunity sooner rather than later.

We do not know much about Lacey Lane since she has only recently been signed by WWE. We do know that the former basketball player managed to defeat Vanessa Kraven in the first round of the Mae Young Classic.

She will probably end up appearing on NXT in the near future as she has too much potential to just sit on the sidelines. Given the fact that Lacey Evans is a heel and Lacey Lane is a face, it is possible that we can see these 2 battle each other on NXT in the future.

Drew Gulak & Drew McIntyre

Drew McIntyre & Drew Gulak both took part in an attack on The Shield this past week on Monday Night Raw.

Drew McIntyre is currently part of the Raw brand. He is a former Intercontinental, NXT, and WWE Tag Team Champion and is also currently one half of the Raw Tag Team Champions with Dolph Ziggler.

Since 'The Celtic Colossus' has returned to WWE, he has been unstoppable and has managed to defeat the likes of Bobby Roode, Roderick Strong, Adam Cole, Chad Gable, and Seth Rollins. Andrade 'Cien' Almas is the only wrestler that has managed to pin him since his return. Drew McIntyre has been doing great on Raw and it has even been rumored that he will be next in line for a Universal Title shot after Braun Strowman.

Drew Gulak is currently a part of 205 Live. He has rejuvenated his career this year by becoming much more aggressive in the ring. Since 2018 has started, this submission specialist has defeated the likes of Kalisto, Tony Nese, Mark Andrews, Akira Tozawa, and Mustafa Ali.

He is currently in the middle of a rivalry with Cruiserweight Champion Cedric Alexander. 'The Human Torture Device' also has a good chance of defeating Cedric Alexander for the Cruiserweight Championship. He has been a star on 205 Live and will continue to succeed.

A match between these two superstars is unlikely because of the fact that 205 Live competitors rarely get the opportunity to appear on Raw and they never get matches against superstars that are not currently on the 205 Live Roster. They are also both heels and WWE rarely ever do heel vs heel matches.

Bobby Lashley & Bobby Roode

These two superstars with the same first name have teamed together before.

Both Bobby Lashley & Bobby Roode are currently a part of the Raw brand. Bobby Lashley has held the US Championship once and the ECW Championship twice. Since his return, 'The Dominator' has defeated the likes of Elias, Sami Zayn, current General Manager Baron Corbin, and even current Universal Champion Roman Reigns.

Although he has struggled on Monday Night Raw, he has certainly looked impressive in the ring (I believe that his Spear is better than the Spear of Roman Reigns).

Bobby Roode is a former NXT and US Champion. While 'The Glorious One' has not been booked as well as he was on NXT where he defeated the likes of Shinsuke Nakamura & Hideo Itami, he has managed to defeat the likes of Jinder Mahal, Dolph Ziggler, & Rusev.

He is currently booked in a tag team with Chad Gable which has a lot of promise as it can lead to a much-awaited heel turn.

It is very possible that these two superstars have a match because if Bobby Roode is turning heel soon, Bobby Lashley would be a good opponent for him.

Nikki Bella & Nikki Cross

Nikki Bella could not be anymore...

different than the psychotic Nikki Cross.

Nikki Bella is currently a free agent so she can appear on both Monday Night Raw & SmackDown Live. She has managed to hold the Divas Championship twice. 'The Fearless One' has consistently improved in the ring (this was best shown when she made her return in 2016) and has managed to defeat the likes of Paige, Natalya, Naomi, Carmella, & AJ Lee throughout her WWE career.

She has recently made her return to the WWE ring, will team up with Ronda Rousey and her twin sister Brie Bella against the Riott Squad at the WWE Super Showdown, and is also currently rumored to face Ronda Rousey in the main event of Evolution for the Raw Women's Championship.

Nikki Cross is currently a part of the NXT women's division. Although she has never won the NXT Women's Championship, she has been an important part of the NXT Women's Division for almost 2 years.

NXT's Banshee has always impressed when she has stepped into the ring and has been one of the most consistent performers on NXT. She has defeated the likes of Lacey Evans, Vanessa Borne, and Shayna Baszler (in an unofficial NXT Women's Title Match). It has been rumored that she will soon (deservedly) be called up to the main roster where she will likely rejoin SAnitY on SmackDown Live.

While it is possible that Nikki Cross and Nikki Bella will face off in a match, it is more likely that they have a face off in a future Women's Royal Rumble match.
