They've been together on TV for a while, but the faction comprised of Bobby Lashley and The Street Profits finally has a name. They're not the only ones - WWE also slapped a moniker on the brand new group Karrion Kross, Scarlett, Paul Ellering and AOP recently put together.

Both stables are warring on SmackDown, so it's nice to have definitive names.

Bobby, Montez Ford and Angelo Dawkins will be known as The Pride going forwards. Fans online had debated whether or not WWE would just call them The Hurt Business, but Triple H clearly fancies leaving that name in the past and trying on something new.

Kross, Scarlett, AOP and Ellering revealed their own name during a short promo video whilst The Pride were in the ring on Friday's episode of blue brand action. According to that vignette, they're called The Final Testament.

Some folks had wondered whether or not the new stable would simply be called The End, because that had flashed up too. Nope, they're The Final Testament and that's that.

Expect some sort of six-man tag to be announced very, very soon.
