6 AEW stars wrestling under their real names

#2. Anthony Osejua Ojo Ogogo (AEW Name: Anthony Ogogo)

Anthony Ogogo signed with AEW back in October 2019, featuring on Cody's Nightmare Family YouTube series before that. He trained under the American Nightmare and QT Marshall before making his official debut in March 2021.

Anthony Ogogo was already a decorated star as a professional boxer, winning a bronze medal in the middleweight division at the 2012 London Olympics. Blindness in his left eye caused him to retire from boxing, but he's a solid prospect for AEW.

Although he lost in his debut match to Cody Rhodes at Double or Nothing 2021, he has a lot of desirable traits for a pro-wrestler and should be fine in the long term.

#1. Leyla Hirsch (AEW Name: Leyla Hirsch)

Leyla Hirsch was officially signed to AEW in March this year, but she made her debut months back on AEW Dark. Although she lost to Hikaru Shida, her impressive performances in CZW, Stardom and future Dark episodes earned her an AEW contract.

She recently lost an NWA Women's Championship match to Kamille after knocking off The Bunny at the Homecoming edition of Dynamite and has been feuding with Jade Cargill. The two fought on a recent episode of Dynamite, with Cargill coming out on top in a competitive match.
