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

#1 Andrade "Cien" Almas

Andrade "Cien" Almas changed his name this past week on SmackDown Live

Andrade "Cien" Almas was signed to WWE with a reputation on the Independent Circuit, which is something that allowed him to push forward during his time in NXT and it then led to him becoming NXT Champion when he was shockingly able to defeat Drew McIntyre back at War Games in 2017.

Almas went on to put on a 5-star match against Johnny Gargano in Philadephia before he was called up to the main roster. Over the past few months, Almas was unable to find his footing on SmackDown Live as he bounced from feud to feud but WWE decided now was the best time for him to change his name. Moving forward he will now be known as Andrade as he continues what has been a fantastic rivalry with Rey Mysterio on the Tuesday night brand.
