5 WWE Superstars who lost part of their name on the main roster

Andrade "Cien" Almas is the latest WWE superstar to lose his name

#2 Big E Langston

Big E's name was changed when he was promoted to the main roster and split with Dolph Ziggler

Big E Langston was just the second NXT Champion and interestingly he was able to defeat inaugural Champion Seth Rollins to become the new title holder. Big E already had quite the career path by the time he made it to the main roster and was aligned with Dolph Ziggler.

It was only later when Big E went solo that he was able to drop Langston from his name and then go on to become an integral part of The New Day. Big E is now a former Tag Team Champion and Intercontinental Champion, which shows that WWE made the right decision by shortening down his name since he has become a hotly successful star and is one of the most featured athletes on SmackDown Live over the past few months.
