#1 Ricochet
Trending
The likes of Adam Cole, Matt Riddle and Samoa Joe have been able to keep their in-ring names after leaving other companies to move to NXT/WWE. However, there are plenty of other examples where previously established names (e.g. Kevin Steen/Kevin Owens) have been given different names upon signing with the company.

In Ricochet’s case, WWE initially referred to him as Trevor “Ricochet” Mann after announcing that he had reported to the Performance Center, so it was unclear whether he would keep his name.
As it turned out, the one-time United States Champion has remained Ricochet throughout his time in WWE, despite telling WWE.com that he originally “hated” going by that name early on in his career.
“Looking at my in-ring style, it just seemed like an obvious choice. I actually hated the name originally. But since then, it has grown to become a part of me just as much as my birth name.”
