We’re keeping track of every WWE name change of 2023 right here, because we all know WWE loves a good name change. Or a bad one.
This page will be updated every time WWE changes someone’s name.
Just to be clear – new names given to debuting talent don’t count. To qualify for this page, a wrestler has to have already wrestled on WWE TV under a different name before having it changed.
