Second-Generation WWE Talent Given New Name

New name for a second-generation wrestler

A second-generation WWE talent has been given their in-ring name. 

It was revealed on Tuesday's edition of NXT that Bianca Carelli - the daughter of Santino Marella - would be known as Arianna Grace inside the squared circle in WWE. This came shortly after a report from Fightful Select which made note of the new name.

Grace was revealed on the show during the announcement that the NXT Women's Breakout Tournament will get underway in two weeks. The second-generation wrestler revealed she will be a participant in the tournament and mentioned she had trained in boxing and MMA. 

WWE announced in March they had signed Carelli as part of the latest Performance Center class. 

The company wrote: "Bianca Carelli, the daughter of WWE Superstar Santino Marella, comes to the Performance Center after earning her Bachelor's degree in biology from Western University. Carelli has extensive training in MMA fighting with a focus on Judo, Jiu-Jitsu and Boxing."

Other talents from Carelli's Performance Center class have been given their new in-ring names, including former ROH Women's World Champion Rok-C, who is now known as Roxanne Perez.
