5 WWE Superstars and what their names were originally going to be

#3 Braun Strowman was originally called Braun Stowman

Braun Strowman's name changed before his WWE call-up

While the other names on this list avoided their alternative name choices, Braun Strowman was actually known as Braun Stowman for a short time between his NXT debut in 2014 and his main-roster debut in August 2015.

Way before he was a “Black Sheep” or a “Monster Among Men”, the inexperienced former competitive strongman defeated the likes of Chad Gable, Dash Wilder and Tye Dillinger at NXT live events using the ‘Stowman’ surname.

For whatever reason, probably because Vince McMahon felt ‘Strowman’ sounded a lot better than ‘Stowman’, his name was changed as soon as he aligned with the Wyatt Family on the main roster in 2015.
