Recently signed WWE development Diva, Mercedes KV, has officially been given the ring name Sasha Banks.
The former Chaotic Wrestling Women’s Champion revealed the change through her Twitter account late last night.
KV wrote: “Drum roll…… My WWE name is Sasha Banks”.
Fellow newcomer, Alisha Ceraso is going by the name Dani.
Thoughts: Personally, I really like this name. It’s rare anymore for a Diva to get a last name it seems, so it’s nice to be able to have some variety. It definitely fits her and doesn’t seem “too little” (basic) or “too much” (random) if that makes sense. Thumbs up!

Naomi Banks is actually a former ring name of Rhaka Khan, I think she used it either in or prior to coming to DSW (WWE’s former development site)

No. She used it after being released by WWE.

It fits nicely because she has that glamour model look, and it instantly reminded me of Tyra Banks!

Nice name.
I wonder what happened to Kayla Armstrong, does anyone know if she has a contract ? :s
It’s very odd, Dani has had her photo on the website quickly after being signed where it take a long time for others …

Erm… what is so rare about getting a last name? O_o
- Naomi Knight
- Caylee Turner
- Cameron Lyn
- Sofia Cortez
- Summer Rae
- AJ Lee
Most of the girls had either double name or a last name. :p
Anyway, it’s a nice name for her and rather unique. :)

Eve is usually Eve Torres tough. At one point they dropped it but that didn’t last long. She is always announced as Eve Torres
