WWE ID Talent No Longer Allowed to Use Indie Names Under New Rule

TLDR

WWE ID talent are no longer allowed to use their independent wrestling names and must now perform under WWE-assigned names for all appearances, according to BodySlam.net. Several wrestlers in the program have already made the transition, including Aricia Demia now going by Anya Rune, Notorious Mimi using Sloane Jacobs, and Starboy Charlie performing as Chazz Starboy Hall. The new rule appears designed to establish cleaner branding across EVOLVE, WWE ID events, and developmental programming by giving WWE control over talent identities before they reach NXT or the main roster.
