Wrestling is an art form as not one style is the right way to do it, and there are various characters in the business. The first character that someone comes up with will be the one they stay with for the rest of their wrestling careers.
WWE filed for several new ring names with the United States Patent and Trademark Office on July 13, including “Kiyah Saint, Izzi Dame, Trey Bearhill, Tyriek Igwe, and Tyson Dupont.”
On Tuesday night, before NXT went live on the USA Network, WWE taped Friday’s Level Up from the Performance Center episode. At the taping, Izzi Dame, real name Franki Strefling, a former volleyball player who joined WWE last year, made her in-ring debut under the new persona.
She previously worked a few NXT house shows, including her in-ring debut on May 20th at an NXT live event where she lost to Lola Vice under the Frankie Carissa name. Here are the spoilers, courtesy of PWinsider.com:
Hank Walker and Tank Ledger defeated Quincy Elliot and Ikemen Jiro when Hank and Tank hit Quincy.
Dani Palmer defeated Izzy Dame.
Dante Chen defeated Javier Bernal
