Kato Sykes is the new name.
Eight-year wrestler Conan Lycan is under contract with WWE’s I.D. program and has taken on a new name. He will now be known as Kato Sykes.
Sykes began his in-ring career in 2018. He’s made his way through GCW, ACTION Wrestling, AEW, TNA, Black Label Pro, and now with WWE.
He’s competed in two dark matches ahead of NXT going live on The CW Network. He faced Marcus Mathers and Brooks Jensen. The name Sykes previously went by under his WWE I.D. deal was Mariano.
It was back in March 2026 when Fightful Select reported that WWE had interest in Sykes.
