As previously reported, WWE signed top European wrestler Aigle Blanc earlier this year. It was announced earlier this week that Blanc will be debuting in AAA later this month under his new ring name, Elio Lefleur.
According to Fightful's Corey Brennan, Blanc suggested the name Elio Lefleur himself. Brennan also noted that WWE ultimately approved this ring name.
Blanc hails from Paris, France, and has previously competed in promotions such as wXw, NORTH Wrestling, and Revolution Pro Wrestling. He reportedly participated in WWE tryouts during WrestleMania weekend and was later signed along with other European talents, including Mike D Vecchio and Zozaya. It will be interesting to see how Blanc performs in AAA with his new gimmick as Elio Lefleur.
Lefleur is scheduled to compete at AAA Alianzas on Friday, November 28, at the Auditorio GNP Seguros in Puebla, Mexico. He will face Jack Cartwheel and Chris Carter in a Triple Threat Match, which is a qualifying match to determine the second challenger for the AAA World Cruiserweight Championship.
Fightful Select has learned Elio Lefleur's new WWE ring name was his own suggestion.
