WWE NXT Superstars Receive Name Changes With Main Roster Call-Up

WWE called up two Superstars to the main roster this week, but some might not have noticed. Jinder Mahal returned to Main Event to take on Jeff Hardy, but he was not alone.

During the Main Event tapings, he was flanked by Dilsher Shanky and Rinku Singh. Those two NXT Superstars now have new names. Rinku Singh IS now known as Veer, and Dilsher Shanky is Shanky.

According to Heel By Nature, WWE also laid down a trademark for “Veer” on May 3rd. It was later entered into the database on May 6th.

We will have to see what’s next for Jinder Mahal. He now has two big men flanking him, a big difference from the Singh Brothers. Perhaps that Main Event return was simply a testing space to see how the three of them look prior to making a big splash on RAW.
