• New WWE Name Of Tiffany Stratton’s Boyfriend Revealed
NXT wrestler Shady Elnahas is officially starting a new chapter in his career under the ring name Shido Ash. The 28-year-old judo expert confirmed the change himself this week by updating his Instagram bio.
Along with his new name, he highlighted his impressive background as a two-time Judo Olympian and a Vice World Champion.
While he hasn’t appeared on TV yet, Ash has been working hard at the Performance Center and on the local Florida circuit. He has competed in 9 matches so far, all during NXT house shows. His most recent outing was a match against Tyriek Igwe in Lakeland, Florida.
Before joining WWE in May 2025, he was a world-class athlete, winning gold at the Commonwealth Games and the Pan American Games.
Outside of his own wrestling journey, Ash has also made headlines for his relationship with SmackDown star Tiffany Stratton. The couple went public with their relationship earlier this year, and fans quickly noticed that Ash even got a tattoo of Stratton’s eye on his arm to show how serious they are.
With WWE recently filing a trademark for the “Shido Ash” name, it’s a clear sign that his television debut could be right around the corner.

• Triple H Reveals WWE’s Sad Reality
WrestleMania 42 will take place this weekend. Night 1 will be main evented by Cody Rhodes (c) vs. Randy Orton (with Pat McAfee) for the Undisputed WWE Championship, and Night 2 will be headlined by CM Punk (c) vs. Roman Reigns for the World Heavyweight Championship.
During an interview with Joe Tessitore, Triple H revealed WWE’s sad reality: there is no backup for these four WrestleMania 42 main event participants in case of an emergency:
“The other thing about our business is unlike a sport, and as bad as it is, if you lose your quarterback, if you lose your first string offensive lineman, if you lose your star center or star guard in the NBA, you have a second string guy to back him up and you hope that those second string guys are pretty good.
There is no backup Cody Rhodes. There is no backup Randy Orton. There is no backup Roman Reigns. There is no backup CM Punk.”
