Not a total overhaul, but either changing the spelling of someone on the actual roster's name or just changing it slightly.
I have four offhand - Carlito dropping the "Carribean Cool" part of his name after like three months, Atlas Ortiz becoming Ricky Ortiz, Marcus Cor Von originally being Marquis, and, in what got my mind on this line of thought, Fandango originally being promoted as Fandangoo.
Any other ones come to mind? I'd have to imagine there's more than that, particularly given all four of those are fairly(ish) recent.

Jimmy Wang Yang was originally called 'Jimmy Wayne Yang,' I have him listed as such in an old event program. I guess someone in creative just thought 'Wang' sounded funnier one day and they went with that.

I seem to recall Kane was originally Cain. I thought was The Undertaker. Some places list it as "Cain the Undertaker" others say "Kane the Undertaker". Also, Earthquake was originally "Canadian Earthquake". |

Bubba Ray Dudley wrestled under his ECW-ised Buh Buh Ray Dudley for a while when he first came to the WWF before changing to 'Bubba'. Think he was actually on the first Smackdown video game as Buh Buh.
