Triple H: Several WWE stars undergo name changes thanks to new Head of Creative

Triple H is changing a lot within WWE right now, and that includes the names of some of the members of the roster.

Theory is no longer Theory.  He will officially return to using his full ring name of Austin Theory going forward, PWInsider.com has confirmed. The shortened names were an edict under the Vince McMahon regime that has now been reversed.

Angel Garza also revealed recently that he was able to re-add the surname back to his name after just going by ‘Angel’ for a few months.

The common belief is that when Butch splits from Sheamus and Ridge
