Since departing from WWE last year due to the company’s merger with Endeavor, several wrestlers have emerged with new identities.
Among them is Dabba-Kato, formerly known as Commander Azeez during his tenure with WWE. Following his release, he has resurfaced in professional wrestling with a humorous twist to his ring name.
The seasoned wrestler, known for his appearances on RAW Underground and his partnership with Apollo Crews, has rebranded himself as “Babathunder.”
Set to compete against Dawid “Puncher” Seńko for the PTW Championship on May 11, Dabba-Kato’s new moniker promises to bring a blend of humor and power to the ring.
Former NWA World Heavyweight Champion EC3 shared his thoughts on Dabba-Kato’s release, acknowledging his dedication to the craft. Reflecting on their time together in NXT, EC3 commended Dabba-Kato’s work ethic and character, highlighting the challenges wrestlers face in the industry.
While wrestling can be demanding, EC3 believes that being away from the WWE system might offer Dabba-Kato new opportunities for growth and success.
Having spent seven years in WWE without capturing a title, Dabba-Kato’s transition to the independent wrestling scene marks a new chapter in his career. With his comedic flair and wrestling prowess, fans are eager to see what the future holds for the charismatic Babathunder in the dynamic world of professional wrestling.
