Perfectly understandable in my view.
And honestly, who cares? It's not like he's a big star anyway. Plus, I kind of like just "Apollo".

Having a full name with 2 words is better than a 1 word name. Example: AJ Styles, John Cena, Randy Orton, Brock Lesnar, Seth Rollins is better than Cesaro, Sheamus, Kalisto, Rusev, Apollo etc. It never hurt Edge, Christian, Undertaker, Kane, Mankind, Batista, etc. |

It only sucks because he was starting to get the chant over. Apollo is a nice name but it'S not as easy to find a catchphrase that ends on Apollo.

Why do they do this? I've never understood why they take off everyone's last name or first name, i've always preferred wrestlers having 2 names.
And the school shooter stuff is bullshit, his name isn't even spelt the same so why should that affect Apollo?

And the school shooter stuff is bullcrap, his name isn't even spelt the same so why should that affect Apollo? It’s pronounced the same. It’d be easier to drop his last name than face B.S allegations that WWE are insensitive/offensive from the media for having a wrestler push a slogan like “Crews can’t lose” Besides, it’s not like his last name added or took anything away from his character? |

It's more the fact that 'why change it up if it was fine how it was'. Yeah but that's what the allegations would be: BS. Crews has nothing to do with the shooting, his name isn't spelt the same, his catchphrase started before it happened, his character has nothing to do with it. Crews has no link to Cruz, media allegations would be ridiculous. |

May seem obscure just now but give it a few months and no one will remember. Big E, Cesaro, Elias, Rusev etc didn't exactly take much getting used to despite the initial reaction.

Well, the name was terrible before. It's terrible now. Not much has changed.

There are none currently, although Elias is in what seems to be the main event of the upcoming PPV, but that means nothing when you have MEGAstars that went by a mononym. |
