As previously reported, WWE recently filed the trademarks for the ring names “Tristan Angels” and “Dorian Van Dux.” Tristan Angels was later confirmed as the new ring name for Nathan Cranton/Nathan Angel. BodySlam+ now has an update on the Dorian Van Dux name.
Per the report, Dorian Van Dux will be used as the new WWE ring name for Mike Derudder/Mike D Vecchio. The Belgian wrestler confirmed his signing with WWE last year. He’s a former wXw European champion and was forced to vacate the title in May 2025 due to a knee injury.
D Vecchio also trained with Logan Paul last year ahead of WWE Clash in Paris, where Paul faced John Cena.
