AEW files for new trademarks; potential gimmick matches planned
AEW has filed to make things official for a potential gimmick match that is planned for an upcoming event. The company has remained tight-lipped on the match.
The 2024 Revolution pay-per-view is scheduled for Sunday, March 3, at the historic Greensboro Coliseum in Greensboro, North Carolina. The show is scheduled to feature a first-time-ever Meat Madness match with Lance Archer, Wardlow, and Powerhouse Hobbs. Wardlow was originally announced, but then it was changed to a Triple Threat.
A new update from the United States Patent & Trademark Office (USPTO) reveals that the company recently filed to trademark two terms that are apparently related to the Revolution match. "AEW: Meat Madness" and "AEW: Match Madness" were both filed for.
The two trademark filings were listed for general pro wrestling and sports entertainment use. The following description was included with each filing:
"Entertainment in the nature of wrestling contests; Entertainment services in the nature of live wrestling performances; Entertainment services in the nature of production of wrestling programs and events; Entertainment services, namely, an ongoing multimedia program featuring wrestling distributed via various platforms across multiple forms of transmission media; Entertainment services, namely, production and distribution of ongoing television programs in the field of wrestling," the filing states.
AEW's title for the match is an apparent play on NCAA March Madness. The company has been quiet on plans or stipulations for the match, but we should know more after Wednesday's Dynamite.
