AEW Star Undergoes Name Change

AEW

An AEW star has undergone an official name change after recently making his return to television on Dynamite.

In recent weeks, FTR have turned heel, notably attacking Cope after their failed bid to win the AEW World Trios Championship.

Since then, FTR have reintroduced Stokely Hathaway to AEW TV as their new manager.

Hathaway has previously been the manager for Jade Cargill, the short-lived Firm faction, Kris Statlander, and another short-lived run with Private Party.

After being reintroduced, there has been an official change made regarding Hathaway on the official AEW website roster page.

He is no longer listed as Stokely Hathaway, and is now listed as simply ‘Stokely’.

On this past Wednesday’s Dynamite, FTR, accompanied by Stokely, attacked the Rock ‘n’ Roll Express.

On Collision, FTR picked up the win in the main event against Roderick Strong and Kyle O’Reilly of the Paragon.

FTR then attempted a post-match attack, which was cut off by Daniel Garcia.
