"Such a corny name," "Big yikes" - WWE Universe lashes out at “horrendous” new stable name

A popular WWE stable recently got a new name, which has left wrestling fans seemingly upset.

The faction featuring Bobby Lashley and The Street Profits has endured a shaky journey and hasn't made much of an impact on SmackDown just yet. The stable has seemingly turned babyface following a vicious attack from Karrion Kross and The Authors of Pain last week on WWE's Friday night show.

Despite being together for months, the group did not have an official name. However, The Almighty recently revealed the name of the stable on X. The former World Champion edited his bio earlier today, declaring himself the leader of The Pride.

However, the name did not go down well with some in the WWE Universe. Many wrestling fans expressed their dislike of the name on X.

You can check some of the tweets below:

After a mediocre start to their run as a faction, the members of The Pride will be hoping for a change in fortune following the name reveal. It will be interesting to witness their rivalry with Kross and AOP in the near future.

Bill Apter is concerned about Street Profits' current WWE run

Wrestling journalist Bill Apter recently raised concerns about the situation of The Street Profits after they joined Bobby Lashley to form a faction.

While speaking on Sportskeeda Wrestling's Smack Talk show, Bill Apter praised The Street Profits for their in-ring abilities. However, the 79-year-old believes their association with Lashley has hurt them rather than elevating their status in the Stamford-based company:

"I like the Street Profits. I like what they were before this whole gimmick thing. They were a good wrestling team. We thought they were going to split up and be singles. I'm not sure [that] I really love this whole gimmick they have got here. I don't know where it's going. But they are so talented in the ring, and this whole thing that they are doing with Lashley. I don't know; I think it has lowered them rather than making them more noticeable," explained Bill Apter.
