Hope Spot: Local Advertisement Suggests WWE Returns Star's Name

Oh yeah, him. The right name is one of the most important things a wrestler can have. Going by the wrong or even a bad name can ruin a wrestler’s career and it can take a few tries to get it right. One of the weirdest things to see is a wrestler go from a good name to a bad one, but that does happen fairly often. Now though, we might be seeing the return of a good name.

WWE is running a live event in Manchester, New Hampshire this weekend. The venue’s website is advertising several WWE stars for the show, including Austin Theory. This would be a return of Theory’s first name, which was taken away earlier this year, following Steve Austin attacking Theory at WrestleMania 38. WWE has yet to confirm such a change and there is a chance that this is based off of material WWE provided before the name change.

Opinion: I’m not sure if this is going to be an official change but I would certainly hope it is. Theory is a talented star but the one name moniker really doesn’t work for him. The name Austin Theory sounded great and it allows like someone you could see as a top star. I would hope that WWE is giving him the first name back, as it is something that shouldn’t have been taken away.
