Big E Langston Undergoes Minor Ring Name Change

As we previously reported yesterday, Feb. 11, Antonio Cesaro had his ring name changed to simply “Cesaro,” dropping the Antonio. It appears that Cesaro is not the only WWE Superstar to undergo a subtle change to his name as WWE.com is now showcasing Big E Langston as simply “Big E.”

Below is a screenshot from WWE.com with the profile for the WWE Intercontinental Champion:

Big E debuted on WWE programming in December of 2012, working as the muscle for Dolph Ziggler and his then on-screen girlfriend and current Divas Champion AJ Lee. Big E went on to have his debut match at WrestleMania 29 in which he and Ziggler were defeated by Team Hell No in a match for the WWE Tag Team Championship.

In November of 2013, shortly after a babyface turn, Big E won the WWE Intercontinental Championship in a match with then champion Curtis Axel on “Monday Night Raw.” Langston has held the title since then, successfully defending it at both the Survivor Series and the Tables Ladders & Chairs pay-per-views.

While Big E did not defend his title at the Royal Rumble, it appears he may defend it down the road, possibly at Elimination Chamber. At the latest “WWE Smackdown” tapings,  a number-one contender for the belt was named. (Warning: Previous link contains *spoilers.*)
