Recent NXT signee confirms her WWE name
Amidst WWE’s filings for trademarks and new Performance Center recruits, Rayne Leverkusen confirmed her new WWE ring name after signing with the company this year.
On her Instagram account, Leverkusen changed her profile name to ‘Lizzy Rain’. WWE confirmed her signing as a new recruitment at the Performance Center in March.
She participated in the SummerSlam tryouts last year and was named the MVP of the tryouts. Rain has competed actively in PROGRESS Wrestling, Hustle Wrestling, Pro-Wrestling CHAOS, Revolution Pro Wrestling among a few. She vacated all of the titles last month amid the move to WWE.
She’s not the only talent newly recruited to the PC this year. She was joined by Ahmed Essam Samy Twfiq, Ellen Akesson and Delia Schweizer who were also announced as new recruits at the PC.
WWE has been filing for many trademarks of late for new, upcoming NXT talent and stables. NXT prospect Shady Elnahas introduced his new in-ring name, Shido Ash, this week. Eli Knight got a revamped name too as EK Prosper to prevent his name clashing with Raw’s LA Knight.
Meanwhile, WWE is gearing up for WrestleMania 42 this weekend on April 18 and 19 at Allegiant Stadium.
