The truths behind characters: WWE Superstars' real names revealed

Baron Corbin

WWE's Baron Corbin

He divides opinion in as much as there are as many people who find him entertaining and hilarious as there are folks who can't stand to listen to him, but there's no denying that WWE Superstar Baron Corbin is one talented individual. The former footballer's real name, though, is Thomas Pestock - leading to many wrestlers calling him 'Football Tom' when he first arrived in the company.

Big E

It should come as absolutely no surprise that Big E's name is not actually Big E - after all, could you ever imagine mail being addressed to Mr. Big E? It just isn't happening! The wrestler more formally known as Big E Langston earlier in his career is actually named Ettore Ewen. So don't you dare be sour!

Elias

He's the best musician in WWE history - or at least that's what he'll tell you! Elias, formerly Elias Sampson, The Drifter in NXT, sings and plays his guitar wherever he goes and has slowly gathered himself quite the fanbase along the way. Though Elias trips off the tongue quite nicely, he's actually the gentleman more formally known as Jeffrey Daniel Sciullo.
