WWE ID talent will no longer be permitted to use their independent wrestling names and must go by their WWE-mandated names for all future appearances, per Bodyslam.
The following talent and their required names going forward:
- Airica Demia → Anya Rune
- Notorious Mimi → Sloane Jacobs
- Starboy Charlie → Chazz Starboy Hall
- Jariel Rivera → Santi Rivera
- Jimmy House → CJ Valor
- Mike Cunningham → Max Abrams
The name changes themselves were previously revealed on WWE Evolve. What’s new is that the use of original indie names is now prohibited across all appearances, not just on WWE platforms.
