WWE confirms new name for LFG season two winner

Dani Raye Sekelsky — the female winner of WWE LFG season two — has officially gotten her NXT in-ring name.

The former NFL cheerleader will be going by the name “Skylar Raye” in her NXT career. WWE confirmed the news this afternoon after filing a trademark for that name earlier this week. Raye will be competing in the WWE Speed Women’s Championship tournament on NXT, where she has a matchup against Fallon Henley scheduled for the first round.

Zaria vs. Wren Sinclair is the other match in the four-woman tournament, which will determine a new Speed champion after the belt was vacated by Sol Ruca. Zaria vs. Sinclair kicks off the tournament tonight. Henley vs. Raye will then presumably happen next week.

Raye defeated Penina Tuilaepa (who is going by the name PJ Vasa in NXT) to win season two of WWE LFG. The series is a competition reality show on A&E that features WWE legends coaching teams of Performance Center recruits. Winners are elevated to the NXT roster.
