The Reason WWE Probably Changed Ruby Riott's Name

WWE decided to make a minor change to Ruby Riot's name by including an extra letter "T" (Ruby Riott) as the original the Ruby Riot trademark is still unresolved therefore they wouldn't have ownership of it. The current trademark status is “RESPONDED STILL UNRESOLVED” and the estimated response deadline is 12/27/2017.

As seen on SmackDown Live her new name was reflected on her new Titantron and nameplate graphic.
