WWE News Roundup: Legend wants to face Roman Reigns, Bray Wyatt's rejected backstage request, Top star reacts to "Becky Lynch" chants (August 20, 2021)

#4 WWE allegedly rejected Bo Dallas and Bray Wyatt's request

Former WWE Superstar Bo Dallas was recently part of a virtual signing with Highspots Wrestling Network. Dallas recalled a specific instance from FCW (WWE's former developmental territory) that involved his brother, Bray Wyatt.

Both stars wanted to use their real last name - Rotunda - in the company. However, things didn't work out this way because WWE's higher-ups weren't too keen on lineage names at the time.

"In the time where me and Windham [Bray Wyatt], me and my brother were coming up into WWE when we were in developmental, it was a time period where for whatever reason, they were really against lineage names," said Bo Dallas.

Former WWE Superstar Curtis Axel - Curt Hennig's (Mr. Perfect) son - was also prevented from using his real name on-screen.

"Me, my brother, Joe Hennig [Curtis Axel], we all wanted to use our names and there was — it wasn’t working and we pitched that, we wanted to use ‘Windham’ because at the time, we were fighting for this and trying to find our names." Dallas added, "Me and my brother were tagging in FCW and it just didn’t happen and… we both went down different roads. I took Dallas and he took something else."
