There is a whole bunch of wrestlers who have fled with the use of their real names, recovering with the name they were given at birth, with the fact that he manages to look like something that ‘A professional wrestler would use. Sometimes many wrestlers use their real names as an influence for their ring names – such as Daniel Bryan (Bryan Danielson), Shawn Michaels (Michael Hickenbottom) and various others. Sometimes some rings have been completely different from real names.

10 worst AEW ring names, classified
AEW presented wrestlers with names of bad rings that fans did not like at all.
Looking around the world of struggle today, there are examples in both tastes Wwe And aew of wrestlers who have a ring name which simply could not be further away from what they are called outside the ring, both for the better and for the worse.

Kenny Omega is a name of striking ring which has led him to so much success over the years in various promotions. The family name “Omega” has so much weight, meaning and freshness, and is certainly the one that perfectly corresponds to the world of professional struggle.
Its real name is very different, because Omega was born as Tyson Smith. The name may not be the absolute worst for a wrestler, but it is much simpler and every day than “Kenny Omega”. We think it is a good thing that he did not fight with the family name “ Smith ” – we would have trouble thinking that a “smith” could become a world champion several times in major promotions.

Usually, a wrestler will create a ring name because of his real name which does not sound eccentric or sufficiently different to stand out in the world of professional struggle. The reverse is true for Liv Morgan. She may have made a name for herself as Liv Morgan, becoming a multi-time champion at WWE, but her real name by Gionna Daddio is crying out to be a nickname.
These two names are very different, one being quite simple and basic, while the other is full of syllables and feels very unique.
Angelo Dawkins
Real name: Gary Gordon

Angelo Dawkins |

Angelo Dawkins is an elegant professional wrestler’s name, and it led him to a long WWE race. If he contributed under his real very different name, we are not so sure that he would have had the same kind of success.
The name “Gary Gordon” is so simple and does not correspond to Dawkins that it seems bizarre to think even that it is his real name. Gary Gordon looks like someone who would sit in an office and poured legal documents (or would be a full jobber), and not someone who wins WWE tag titles.
Bayley

WWE has had a trend over the years to give the division of women singular basic names – see Melina, Emma, ​​Sand, Layla, Jillian and others for example. Bayley fell into this same group, and she received a very basic ring name that she managed to change to make him more interesting – adding a “Y” instead of a “I”.

However, this could not be more different from his real name of Pamela Martinez, which reminds fans that Bayley has in fact a Hispanic heritage, something that is not at all displayed in his ring name.

Hook is a hard word name and it does his job to stand out on the AEW list. With many singular names, they can sometimes appear from real names, taking the name of the first or the name. In the case of Hook, its real name is Tyler Senerchia, which is very different.
The name Hook feels similar in design in the name of his father’s ring, Tazz. It is a syllable, he has hard consonants, and he does not use their family name of Senerchia, which could be a bit of a bite for some fans to say and to remember.

Cm punk |

Fans have long debated the true sense of “CM” in “CM Punk”, but to date, nothing has been downright confirmed. One thing is certain, however, it has nothing to do with its real name of Phil Brooks.
CM Punk and Phil Brooks resemble two completely different people, and there is no influence on its name name which comes from its birth name. Punk has managed to make his name one of the most recognizable of the fight, leading him to a lot of success in the world title and classic matches over the years.

The PAC `The Bastard ” is doing the way of pouring, nasty and violent in AEW, but when his hair is attached and that he becomes his real name of Benjamin Satterly when he is far from competing between the strings, the Two characters could not be more different from each other.
PAC is a name for a hardened artist and he stands out firmly from the crowd. Benjamin Satterly is a daily name, and that would not suit his gadget and his character at least.

Before joining WWE, Apollo’s crews fought under the name of the Uhaa nation, using its real name of its head Uhaa to influence its identity in the struggle. This name has taken its true Nigerian heritage – something that the name of the Apollo Crews WWE ring does not provide.
In truth, his WWE ring name is strong, and if he had the right type of push when he came to the main list many years ago, he could have found himself higher on the map. One thing is certain however – the two names are incredibly different.

Montel Vontavious Porter, MVP, has always been one of the most “ Wow ” ring names. He is extravagant, he certainly stands out and he wears an aura with her. It is a good thing that he received this name of ring, because “Alvin Burke” would not have worked too well.

Half Bennett |
2013-2017 |
Rhea Ripley is now a familiar name in professional struggle, and is one of the most popular wrestlers that the WWE female division has ever seen, with various reigns of a matching world title. Its real name is the one that would probably work well in the landscape of professional struggle, but it always seems very different.
His real name outside the ring is half Bennett, who always feels unique enough to work if she used it to fight. However, there is nothing similar, perhaps apart from the fact that his first name lasts four letters, but even in this case, we are gripping ourselves for comparisons.
