In the wild and unpredictable world of professional wrestling, it’s not unusual to see names, moves, and gimmicks borrowed and sometimes outright copied. And this week on Dynamite, things heated up as an WWE NXT star reacted to an AEW talent adopting a nickname that hits a little too close to home.
AEW Dynamite’s November 22nd episode was packed with action and jaw-dropping moments, as reported by Ringside News. But one particular segment caught the attention of fans and sparked controversy.
During the show, Christian Cage bestowed new names upon Luchasaurus and Nick Wayne, dubbing them Killswitch and ‘The Prodigy’ Nick Wayne, respectively. Here’s where it gets interesting: NXT star Roxanne Perez also goes by the name The Prodigy.
In a now-deleted tweet, Roxanne Perez took to Twitter to express her reaction to AEW seemingly borrowing her moniker. She shared a GIF of herself during a match, along with the words, “I am the Prodigy.”
This move has stirred up quite a debate among wrestling enthusiasts. Some argue that AEW is simply appropriating the moniker, while others suggest that Nick Wayne’s remarkable skills at such a young age might make the name a good fit for him. But at the end of the day, Perez is determined to focus on what she does best, and that’s where her heart truly lies.
As the wrestling world continues to spin with drama and rivalries, it’s clear that originality remains a precious commodity in this larger-than-life arena. Stay tuned for more twists and turns in the ongoing battle for ring supremacy!
