Ex-WWE Tag Team Reunites -- We Changed Our Name ... To Avoid a Lawsuit

Cryme Tyme IS BACK -- only now, the former WWE tag team is going by a different name ... sorta.

JTG and Shad Gaspard met up for a gym session Saturday in Venice ... and told our photog they're excited to hit the road again following JTG's recent release from the company.

Check out the video to hear the name change and why it went down, how JTG feels about being fired ... and of course, their famous catchphrase.
