During a recent interview with “Ring the Belle”, Taynara Conti revealed why WWE dropped her surname from her ring name, and more. You can check out some highlights from the interview below:
On the jokes around her ring name: “I don’t care. I’m the kind of person where like, you need to do so much to really affect me. People need to have fun. If they’re having fun, whatever.”
On using it as her ring name and WWE removing it after the jokes began: “It’s funny because Conti is my husband’s last name. My husband is half Italian. Conti is an Italian name. And when I got married, I didn’t change my name. I was like, ‘Well, why not?’ Because Taynara’s my legal name…and they were like, ‘Okay, let’s do it.’ But then I think WWE found out [about] all the jokes or whatever, and they changed it. They took out ‘Conti.’”
On what ring name she’ll use going forward: “I’m gonna use Tay Conti. I will keep it, I don’t care.”
