Legado Del Fantasma's Raul Mendoza is no more.
Raul Mendoza has been with WWE/NXT for nearly six years at this point, but going forward he will perform under the new name Cruz Del Toro alongside his stablemates Santos Escobar, Joaquin Wilde and Elektra Lopez. Mendoza's WWE.com profile was recently updated to reflect the change, despite the fact that Mendoza competed under his original name on the 4/12 edition of NXT 2.0 in a NXT Tag Team Championship Gauntlet Match.

Toro isn't alone, as WWE has been rapidly changing the names of multiple superstars in recent years. Just this year, names for former NXT stars like WALTER, Raquel Gonzalez, Marcel Barthel, Pete Dunne have all been changed. The main roster has underwent changes too, such as this past Monday when Austin Theory's name was shortened to just Theory. Elias also recently returned under the name Ezekiel, while also claiming to be Elias' younger brother. The two have taken a photo together to slam the door in the face of the doubters who believe they're the same person. To read more about that story, click here.
