Potential New In-Ring Name For Dexter Lumis Revealed

Dexter Lumis' post-WWE in-ring name has potentially been revealed. 

It initially appeared Lumis would be going by Samuel Shaw again following his WWE release but the former NXT talent filed to trademark 'Hatchet' on May 13, with the name set to be used for professional wrestling performances and merchandise. 

The description of the trademark is as follows: 

'IC 025. US 022 039. G & S: Hats; Shirts; Sweatshirts; Bandanas; Hooded sweatshirts

'IC 041. US 100 101 107.

After three years with the company, Lumis was let go by WWE in late April along with the likes of Dakota Kai, Malcolm Bivens, and Persia Pirotta. He has since been announced for future independent wrestling appearances.
