Cameron Grimes?? Who the f*** came up with that shit?? That's a DOA name
Also way to kill Bugenhagan, the name was one of the most over things about him.

The Grimes family legacy now rests in the hands of the former Trevor Lee. He’s gonna get that Homer Simpson.
Most of these names are lateral moves at worst, really. Rik Bugez is fine for the doofy metalhead gimmick that he’s playing (he’s often worn shirts saying “Bugez Cruise” for the entire run of the act so far), it wouldn’t be any good if he were just a normal guy. Cameron Grimes, Arturo Ruas and Jessi Kamea are as generic as the names they’re replacing. Ridge Holland is a classic name generator special, but at least this ends the menstruation jokes.

Trevor Lee is now Cameron Grimes When are they going to learn to not name wrestlers after their hometown?

The Buge really should have been his name man.

Ridge "My career totally isn't over" Holland! Dude looks like if you took the Fatal Deviation guy and sucked all the Kyle O'Reilly out of him.

Ridge Holland sounds like some Dutch village you've never heard of.
Also Arturo Ruas doesn't seem like it rolls off the tongue all that easily. Even more so if you've got rhotacism.

The Buge really should have been his name man. So that's what we'll call him. That, or His Bugeness … Buger … or El Bugerino, if, you know, you're not into the whole brevity thing.

Well that's great, because it's not like "Bugenhagen" was a perfect name to chant or anything.
The others? No human being should be given the name "Ridge". It sounds like his parents named him while they both had heavy colds.

Cameron Grimes?? lmao Camryn Grimes is an actress on Young and the Restless, so I guess I know who I'll be picturing every time they say his name.

Ridge Holland made me think of Ridge Forrester on the Bold and the Beautiful too. None of these names really strike me one way or the other. Eric Bugenhagen was called “Rick Bugez” at various points before making it onto NXT TV anyway. It’s not as good of a name, but I don’t think it’s going to matter.
