Alba Fyre for Kay Lee Ray. Katana Chance for Io. Roxanne Perez for Rok-C (confirmed). Alba Fyre for KLR got confirmed, and Katana Chance is Kacy Catanzaro’s new name, which I guess fits, given she was on American Ninja Warrior.

Naming a Scottish wrestler “Alba Fyre” is about as on the nose as you can get. It’s the equivalent of calling a US wrestler “ America Washington.”

Wow, they're still not calling up Io? How do you not see anything in Io Shirai? It is not often WWE gets a womens wrestler of her caliber let alone the best of her generation but WWE did and has left everyone with the question you have posed and we will keep asking it untill she is gone from the company. This is a woman at her tryout blew the absoloute minds of HBK and Taker...for her to make that impression at her damn tryout to two guys who have literally seen and done it all should have LONG clued in this f***ing company to what walked into the company that very moment and strapped every single rocket to her. I mean was it really a shock that when Io was NXT womens champion it was touted as both the best thing in WWE and no questions asked the best womens division in NA. And let give possible positive spin here WWE may have actually seen her worth IF Ace , Pritchard did not get back into power because there is no doubt in my mind it is those two in particular that are making sure she stays right where she is because again no other company would have Io Shirai on their f***ing roster and have her stuck in any sort of developmental.

Some more names, Feel free to match them with who you think they fit best. Bench Hennigan Zazzmink Trunk Dunguss Tokyo Joe Wallop Paniq Zowza Furgus Bench Hennigan will get a FAST-MOTION entrance. So fast he’ll already be in the ring.

People are complaining about the new NXT names. We know these names are going to bad, so we should be used to them. Imagine if social media was around back in the day when we heard Sting's name for the first time. "LOL, this guy's named after the singer". Probably people would be mad about a lot of popular names or think they were stupid, "Randy Savage, how stupid. Roddy Piper, LOL, Ricky Steamboat, so stupid". But no one cared back then. So, why is today different? The wrestlers themselves aren't changing. They are still good wrestlers. So, enjoy them and not their name.

, "Randy Savage, how stupid. Roddy Piper, LOL, Ricky Steamboat, so stupid". Bad example. Because those were the names they were always known by. Multiple promotions. Long before WWF had them. "I can't believe they're calling Tony Atlas 'Saba Simba', why not call him Tony Atlas?" "The hell is an Akeem? What did they do to the One Man Gang?" "Mike Rotunda is a tax collector now? Oh, very funny, IRS. So funny I forgot to laugh." And many more examples if WWF/WWE only names.

They should hire a UK wrestler who does a lot of ass shaking. They can call her Bootyca.

The thing is with a lot of those wrestlers, they were never really anything else. It's one thing to establish yourself with a slightly silly name, and another to get given it several years later when everyone already knows who you are. This is more like if Ricky Steamboat upon being brought into the WWF in 1985 was renamed Garrison Honolulu because he was supposed to be a kayfabe Hawaiian, despite already being well known as Ricky Steamboat.

Wow, they're still not calling up Io? How do you not see anything in Io Shirai? Her English isnt great and they dont know what to do with anyone who can't talk to the standard they want, or think the main show audience wants. They also need the experienced hand in NXT still. Your new people cant learn from each other when they're all green. IO clearly has more value to them in that role than they see she can have on the main roster.

Your new people cant learn from each other when they're all green. IO clearly has more value to them in that role than they see she can have on the main roster. If they thought Io would be valuable in NXT they would have put the title back on her instead of throwing all of the green women at Mandy who herself is not good in the ring at all. Instead they had Io eat the pin and vanish off of TV entirely. Because working with Io in a title program will do a hell of a lot more for your career than it would with Mandy, whose ceiling at the end of the day on the main roster is low midcarder. It would also behoove WWE to appease Io by giving her what she wants sooner rather than later. Because if she feels she has a ceiling above her head that WWE will refuse to let her break, she will cut ties and leave. She has always had massive aspirations, and if she feels like WWE is yanking her around, she will absolutely leave them. And her English is fine and she is charismatic. One bad promo doesn't mean your English is bad. Especially when everyone in that promo came off real bad.
