Javier Bernal got a name change in late 2021 and was previously going by his real-life moniker of Randy José Beidelschies. Bernal wrote the following on Instagram in response to the name change:
“'You’re destined for greatness.' The little RJB was told those very words and I meant to live my life that way. A lot of blood, sweat, tears, and Diet Coke got me to this point. The little wrestling fan aged into a larger one, and thus the Rockstar was born. Welcome to the world, Javier Bernal."
It will be interesting to see if the rookie has enough potential to make it big in WWE.
