I'd argue yes only because at least Big E's name didn't become solely initials and NXT announcers called him just Big E lots of times so the change wasn't as terrible.

Now if he got got called B.E.L., it would be really bad.

Then again after some thinking, Neville losing his first name because Vince thought it was just a girl's name might top TJP for dumb name changes.

Can even make it into a weekly Network series called Total Braun.

Instead of people talking about random and mostly boring stuff in life, its just Braun finding new ways to beat up Reigns each week.

Maybe if TJP did a cocky "RVD"-like chant with his name it might make sense but RVD also never lost his full name by the announcers.

A lot of the microphones and sound quality sounded rough to me tonight.

They probably hired native Jersey folks to set everything up, so that would explain the quality.

Because RAW's Creative is usually terrible in general. They probably saw Balor getting the upper hand in a brawl being worth the same as a victory by Reigns in a match when those are not actually equal.

Had Balor won, they could have at least played it up as Reigns being injured and create some interest for a rematch with both guys healthy at a later date.
