3) Zelina Vega To ‘Zelina’
I think that another strong candidate for a name change is going to be Zelina Vega, who serves as the manager of Andrade.
Since WWE changed the name of Andrade Almas, I could also see them going that route with Zelina here. If it does happen, my guess is that her last name will get cut.
‘Zelina’ by itself doesn’t sound too bad. I have to include her on this list based on WWE shortening the name of Andrade. Seems like something that Vince McMahon will eventually do.
2) Buddy Murphy To ‘Murphy’
Someone who I think is definitely heading towards a name change is Buddy Murphy. It was recently announced that he will be moving up from 205 Live and will be joining the Smackdown roster.
Now that he is on the main roster, I could definitely see WWE dropping his first name and just calling him ‘Murphy’. This would be similar to WWE dropping the first name of Mustafa Ali.
This is a rare case where I think that the name change might actually be an improvement. ‘Murphy’ sounds better than ‘Buddy Murphy’ but that might just be me.
I would be surprised if Murphy doesn’t get his name changed by WWE over the next several months.
