If it command executed successfully then it should rename perfectly. Secondly you can rename manually by double click on table name in SSMS tool.

This is an incredibly easy thing to google for. It is taking you longer to ask us than it is to ask google. For future reference, always google for how-to questions because the answers are out there.

However it is this easy:

SQL

EXEC sp_rename 'OldTableName', 'NewTableName';

And if you do not want to use the Stored Procedure, then right-click on the table in SSMS and rename it.
