The Big Guy is free to once again promote himself as Ryback ... Pro Wrestling Sheet has learned a judge has now officially signed off on his name change request.

A rep for the Clark County court confirms that Ryan Allen Reeves will henceforth be known as Ryback Allen Reeves in the eyes of the law, now that his name change was filed by the court yesterday.

In case you missed it ... the ex-WWE star announced the news this month and explained, "It was one thing that I did not own and I created and I used before my time with WWE. And it is something that is associated with my brand, and who I am, that I am very proud of.”

Ultimate Warrior would be proud.
