Rik Bugez and Cameron Grimes? :-/
just terrible… Adrian Jaoude was a good name.Adrian Jaoude is now Arturo Ruas.
It definitely was different. in a good way.Fuck out of here Eric Bugenhagen was an awesome name.
Yeah it was!Fuck out of here Eric Bugenhagen was an awesome name.
Ruas is easier to say than Jaoude so that's a plus. However, Adrian Ruas would have rolled off the tongue so much better than Arturo.The following WWE NXT contracted talents have received new official ring names:
Adrian Jaoude is now Arturo Ruas.
Former Impact star Trevor Lee has been rechristened Cameron Grimes.
Jessie Elaban will be known as Jessi Kamea going forward.
Luke Menzies has been named Ridge Holland.
Eric Bugenhagen will be known going forward as Rik Bugez

Jessi doesn't have a gimmick anymore.Ruas is easier to say than Jaoude so that's a plus. However, Adrian Ruas would have rolled off the tongue so much better than Arturo.
Grimes actually fits him... Cameron? Not so much. But I guess he wanted to pay homage to his hometown.
Elaban, Kamea, pretty much a wash....dropping the e suits her character
Luke Menzies, Ridge Holland, indifferent to either name
I thought Eric Bugenhagen was a cool name, but the shortened version isn't so bad, so whatever.
Overall on these new names? Meh... don't hate it. Don't love it...
Not sure how I feel about that.. Something about Eric Bugenhagen really suited him. Maybe if they changed it to Eric Bugez maybe. Eric always sounds better than RikEric Bugenhagen will be known going forward as Rik Bugez
Rik Bugez is what he refers to himself as on his youtube channel so it was probably his call to change his name, I ain't got a problem with it.
Test's fans were called Testicles so who knows. If you get someone who looks like Stacy Kiebler saying it, then it'll catch on.Adrian Jaoude/Arturo Ruas is a 38yr old developmental.
Rik Bugez is definitely Bugenhagen's choice and it's a terrible one. You knew it was coming though given his YT vids. It's not a marketable name. Are his fans going to be called Buu-gers?
Ridge Holland - Ridge as a first name? Reminds me of Lift Sawyer and Cable Jones of failed developmental names past.
