Rumor Roundup: Why WWE Made Survivor Series Team Change, Backstage Feeling About Unionization, More

3) WWE Changing Murphy’s Name?

Murphy recently changed his name on Twitter back to ‘Buddy Murphy’. Buddy was his name prior to WWE shortening it.

Could this be a hint that WWE is giving Murphy his first name back?

My Take:

  • I am always on the side of Superstars getting their first names back, so I am all for this.

2) NXT Superstar Gets New Ring Name

According to Mike Johnson of PWInsider, WWE has changed the name of Brandi Lauren from NXT.

She will now be known as ‘Skyler Storey’. Here is what Johnson wrote:

WWE NXT talent Brandi Pawelek aka Brandi Lauren, who was signed last month has been given the new ring name Skyler Storey, PWInsider.com has confirmed.

Prior to her time under contract to NXT, Pawalek, 24, appeared for both EVOLVE and SHINE.

My Take:

  • We have finally solved the mystery of who WWE’s trademark filing was for. In a recent rumor roundup, we noted that WWE filed for ‘Skyler Storey’ but nobody knew who it was for.
