#3 WWE stars give their original ideas for names and characters

Every WWE star has an origin story, some stars started outside of WWE whilst others got their start in wrestling at FCW. This means that many of the stars who came through FCW were able to reveal how they got their names and what their original character ideas where when they came through the ranks.

Big E originally wanted to be mailman and used the name he had been called throughout his life before WWE added Langston on. Seth Rollins got his name from Henry Rollins and stated that Dusty Rhodes loved it and saw him as a future star with the name.

Bayley's name was chosen for her, but because it was spelled Bailey she requested that she spelled the name differently because she wanted to represent "The Bay Area" whilst Baron Corbin had 38 names rejected by WWE before the company landed on Baron Corbin, so it was something of a lengthy process for The Lone Wolf when it came to choosing a ring name.
