So, what's everyone's theory as to why the new guys keep having their names retconned a week after their debut? Matt Sydal became Evan Bourne, Atlas Dabo...Ortiz became Ricky Ortiz. My theory is that if the crowd chants their name during their debut, whatever name they chant gets changed. Matt Sydal's full name was chanted, and he got his whole name changed, Atlas just had his first name chanted, and his first name changed. If Braden Walker's still Braden Walker next week, my theory will be confirmed.
Or maybe, Atlas became Ricky because Tony Atlas was backstage, and having two guys with similar names is looked down upon by the front office.

We'd better get Chris Harris with a better name next week.
Seriously, Braden Walker? That's not even a name!

I think they have been wanting a "Braden Walker" for a while now.
According to Johnny Jeter's (from the Spirit Squad) Wikipedia, he wrestled an ECW dark match under the name "Jaden Jeter". I think someone really likes names that sound like that. Or something, I don't know.

Evan Bourne makes since. My name is Evan, and in Welsh it means "little warrior". I think it fits good.

Well the mystery of Ricky Ortiz was solved, now that Tony Atlas appears to be a recurring character. Can't have multiple Atlases.

Maybe they don't want to pay royalties.

Also during the Braden Walker match, both ADamle and Taz called him Adam Walker.

They should make a gimmick out of it.
Ricky Ortiz as the laid-back dude with delusions of grandeur, and Atlas Ortiz as a hyperactive, womanizing alter-ego.

Atlas "Ricky" Ortiz.
Where did the Ricky come from?
Ortiz: Uh...ummm...uh...cause I liked I Love Lucy?
... I'll take it.
Ortiz: Whew... close one.
What?
Ortiz: Nose guard. I should buy a nose guard.

I don't have a problem with changing names if there not horrible in my view. So with that being said I don't think Braden Walker is a horrible name but,his singlet made him look like an 80's jobber. Change that and he should be a good mid carder.
Also they better not change Colt Cabana's name. I expect him next week or atleast the week after. If he doesn't get called up soon it's a shame.

Well, the Ricky Ortiz name change isn't that big a stretch when you find out his real name is Rich Young. But the only people who would know that are the people that looked him up on Wiki.
