A WWE star has responded to fan outrage over a just announced name change by providing more information on the shift.

In the way that many people communicate nowadays, the comment comes via gif on Twitter.

When WWE changed Mia Yim’s name on the WWE website officially to Michin, fans erupted with a variety of responses.

However, when Michin herself posted about the topic, she then went a step further in agreeing with a fan providing logical clarification.

Michin slapped a “Thank you!” gif of Michael Scott from the American version of The Office after a fan mentioned very valid points.

Not only does Mia Yim own her own ring name, given Michin is a Korean moniker it was likely she had input on the change.

Adding some levity to the situation, Michin dropped back a popular middle finger emoji after Shane ‘Hurricane’ Helms noted he thought it “was latin for Bearcat”.

Elsewhere on tonight’s edition of WWE Raw, a star name checked Cody Rhodes with an AEW star responding, and a remixed theme song has caused fan controversy.
