Mustafa might have been the dopest part of his name.

And now to wait for them to act surprised when he suddenly isn’t as over any more as if they don’t know why.

Andrade name was fire and Andrade is still fine but doesn't have the same ring to it
Ali is just generic

I wonder how many people just nervously say "Sure Vince, whatever you want" and then give each other 'the look' in private after every weirdo decision like this.

It's like Toppo and the US name Top in a way. If the name doesn't hit as hard as it needs to by itself then another part to it can help. This just sounds weird. Names like this makes characters feel less relatable which isn't a good thing especially for Ali. He's a regular guy like us, he's not Prince or Cher. |

Yea, one word names are unique when only a few people have them but when everyone is just a name, you start falling backwards
Hell, the best thing Adam Cole could have did was make his name his catchphrase because they can't change that shit
Imagine if this was One Piece and they just killed off all the nicknames and regular name for Luffy. People call him Straw hat, or even just his full name Monkey D Luffy. You like to have that option, which adds more to the character

I also find it funny that they used to do this to the women and there were girls running around with super common names like Maria and Eve but now they've switched to the other side lol

OK, show of hands, if you saw someone walking around wearing a shirt that just said "Ali" would you immediately think of:
a) Wrestler currently attempting to move up the card?
b) legendary boxer?
Yeah, thought so.
How does this company that employs probably 500 people at this point, that had a large chunk of the western world wearing Rock or Austin 3:16 shirts every day for 3 or so years once, manage to fail so miserably at knowing how brand identity works?

Even by WWE’s usual standards, this is baffling.

And that’s the dumbest part of the whole thing. Even if it wasn’t trademarked when people hear “Ali” they think of Muhammad Ali. It’s like if his name was Elvis Mustafa and they just started calling him “Elvis” |

Refresh my memory, has a white American guy ever gotten this name treatment? It feels like this happens exclusively with "foreigners", non-Caucasian dudes and women, and it's starting to get weirdly uncomfortable. Victor and Connor Otis and Tucker Harper and Rowan... I think Rowan has actually got his first name back since returning with Bryan. Which is strange. |
