WWE filed for registration of several new ring names on December 24 and 30 – Valentina Feroz, The Hand, Shou, Tian Sha, Shi Hun, Shi Zui, Nash Carter, Wes Lee.
It looks like these are ring names planned for WWE NXT Superstars. As noted earlier, the name Feroz was used by Rita Reis when she made it NXT debuts on singles TV last Wednesday in the defeat against Mercedes Martinez. In addition, “Shou” is a Chinese word for “The Hand” and WWE also registered a logo with the Chinese character for “The Hand”.
