5 Names WWE Superstars used to have that were better

#1. Xavier Woods - Consequences Creed outside of WWE

Xavier Woods on RAW

Xavier Woods had two names outside of WWE that are arguably better than his current one - Austin Creed and Consequences Creed. The name Austin Creed was what he first used when he entered wrestling in 2005, taking inspiration from the Apollo Creed character.

Xavier Woods has had a Hall of Fame-worthy career in WWE, accumulating a whopping 11 reigns with the RAW and SmackDown Tag Team titles (accounting for the Freebird rule, of course). He spent a respectable three years with TNA/IMPACT Wrestling, where his sole championship was the TNA World Tag Team titles when he teamed up with Jay Lethal.

The Lethal Consequences pair-up was likely his biggest highlight with the company, as the duo dethroned TNA-greats Beer Money, Inc (Robert/Bobby Roode and James Storm) to become Tag Team Champions.

While Xavier Woods has obviously had a more storied career in WWE with The New Day, there's no doubt that Consequences Creed is a far cooler name than his current persona. The Austin Creed name is something he still uses as his brand outside of WWE - an extremely smart move in hindsight seeing the success of his channel UpUpDownDown.
