Who? Another Long Time WWE Star Gets A Name Change

That’s him. WWE has a lot of resources and one of its biggest is having its own developmental territory in NXT. The company is able to bring up wrestlers who have been appearing on national television whenever they want to but WWE has a bit of a strange habit of changing things up about them in the process. That seems to be the case again with an NXT legend.

Tommaso Ciampa was officially called up to Monday Night Raw earlier this month and became part of the roster. Ciampa appeared on this week’s show when he attacked the returning Mustafa Ali. During the attack, Ciampa was referred to by his last name only, suggesting that his first name had been dropped. In addition, earlier on Monday, TVA Sports Quebec’s Kevin Raphael said that Ciampa had lost the Tommaso name. This comes after WWE has shortened over names in recent weeks.

Tommaso Ciampa is now only Ciampa.

Effective immediately.

Opinion: For the life of me I wish WWE would drop this whole concept. They didn’t mind Ciampa having a full name when he was wrestling on national television or at the Survivor Series, but now something needs to change? It’s annoying to see them make these changes to people I have been watching for years, but this is WWE’s latest obsession for the time being and it is still really annoying.

What do you think of Ciampa? How will he do on the main roster? Let us know in the comments below.
