#3 Ronda Rousey

Birth name: Ronda Jean Rousey
Birth name: Ronda Jean Rousey

Even a company like the WWE couldn’t take The Baddest Woman on The Planet’s name away. Ronda has been UFC’s finest product, and she joined the WWE earlier this year as a fulltime wrestler. In no time, she’s enjoyed success very few have and has become one of the leaders of the women’s division.

Ronda Rousey was already extremely famous before she joined the WWE, and her name is more powerful for the company’s image than the company is for her. Therefore, it made no sense for Vince and his team to change anything about Ronda, and she continues to fight under her real name.

#2 Brock Lesnar

Brock Edward Lesnar
Birth name: Brock Edward Lesnar

Many would believe that Lesnar’s parents saw a fighter in him the moment he was born. Born Brock Edward Lesnar, taking the middle name out seemed to do wonders as it sounds more like a wrestling name than a real name.

The Beast has held the WWE Universal Title for 504 days to become a title holder for the longest time in the modern era. Apart from that, he has numerous other WWE and UFC titles to his name and has also been active in the National Football League (NFL) for some time.
