Another WWE Star Getting Their First Name Back?
This Raw talent looks to be getting their first name returned to them.
As we continue to see tweaks and small changes gradually made to the WWE product in recent weeks, it looks as if Theory could well be getting his first name back.
Of course, Theory previously went by the Austin Theory moniker during his time in EVOLVE, NXT and his early days on the main roster. In typical Vince McMahon fashion, though, the call was eventually made to drop the Austin and go solely by Theory.
While Theory is still listed as, well, Theory on the official WWE.com roster page, he is being listed - as picked up on by WrestlingNews.co - as Austin Theory for upcoming live events. This could merely be some sort of oversight on WWE's part, although hopefully it's more an indicator that the current Mr. Money in the Bank is having his first name returned to him.
The former United States Champion is one of numerous talents to have had either their first or last names taken from them by McMahon, with a handful of other examples seeing Alexander Rusev become Rusev, Adrian Neville become Neville, Apollo Crews become Apollo, and Angel Garza become simply Garza.
In the case of Garza, he is now back to using his full name, and it could well be that Theory will soon follow suit.
