Valentina Rossi has bid a humorous yet heartfelt farewell to her longtime independent wrestling persona. In a tweet that quickly went viral, she posted “RIP ‘The Mafiosa’ Valentina Rossi” alongside a mock cemetery video featuring a gravestone for the character after officially adopting her new WWE-mandated ring name, Gianna Capri.

This creative send-off highlights a major shift for WWE ID talents, as recent reports indicate that wrestlers in the program must now use only their assigned names for all future appearances. The move underscores WWE’s continued push for unified branding across its entire developmental system, which is understandable given the confusion that could easily arise from wrestlers using two names.
