After a WWE star made their NXT Level Up debut and ring graphics noted a new name, now WWE seems to have made it official.

In May 2023, it was announced that Olympic gold medalist Tamyra Mensah Stock had signed a developmental deal with WWE.

At this past week’s NXT Level Up taping that has yet to air, she had a match with her entrance featuring graphics using the name Tyra Mae Steele.

WWE filed a trademark for the Tyra Mae Steele name on July 2 (the day she had the match) with this description:
