WWE Developmental Talent Given New Name

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

WWE filed to trademark 'Drake Morreaux' on March 12 and the name will be utilised by Beau Morris. Morreaux has yet to wrestle under his new name and he has only had 10 matches since his in-ring debut in May 2023. Nine of those matches took place on NXT house shows but Morris wrestled under his real name on the February 16 edition of SmackDown as he teamed with Javier Bernal in a squash loss to the Authors of Pain. 

Morris has been signed with WWE as a developmental talent since July 2022. He was one of 14 talents recruited by the company following the pre-SummerSlam 2022 tryouts. Other talents to receive new names in recent weeks include Lucky Ali who is now named Saquon Shugars, and Brogan Finlay who is now called Uriah Connors.
