14 Released WWE Superstars: What are their new names?

#9 Heath Slater - Heath (left WWE in April 2020)

That’s right, former WWE Superstar Heath Slater (real name Heath Miller) plans to keep his first name when he wrestles again.

“Heath is my real name. There’s some trickery that we can do, but then again, I don’t know, I might just want to go by just Heath… Pyro's coming off, I’m walking down, slapping hands. I can see it.” [H/T Lilian Garcia’s Chasing Glory podcast]

The former 3MB member added during an interview with Chris Van Vliet in May that he is considering using his middle name, Wallace, as his new wrestling surname, but he had not decided at that point.

Either way, he will definitely still be known as Heath.

#8 Taynara Conti - Tay Conti (left WWE in April 2020)

It is always a topic of discussion when somebody is allowed to use their real name after joining WWE. In the case of Taynara Conti (real name Taynara Melo de Carvalho), she began using her husband’s surname, Conti, during the early days of her time in NXT in 2017.

When she wrestles again, Conti will keep her surname but she has dropped part of her first name, so she will now be known as Tay Conti.
