With its weekly shows, an army of wrestlers, and decades of history behind it, WWE is in a constant cycle of filing for new trademarks and retaining old ones.
The company has filed for new names for superstars who changed their monikers this year, including Gunthr Stark (formerly Walter), Ludwig Kaiser (formerly Marcel Barthel), and Alba Fyre (formerly Kay Lee Ray).
WWE also retained TMs for names, nicknames, and moves from established and popular stars such as 'The Queen' for Charlotte Flair, 'The Goddess' for Alexa Bliss, 'Tribal Chief' for Roman Reigns, 'EST' for Bianca Belair, 'RKO', and Brock Lesner.
Vince McMahon's company also retained TMs for Uncensored and SuperBrawl, both names of old WCW shows. They also filed a new TM for "WWE Clash at the Castle" for the pay-per-view set to emanate from Cardiff, Wales in September.
Some of the most intriguing filings are for terms: Moonsault, Lockup, WWE Moonsault, and WWE Lockup. This is because these are not filed for use in media or merchandise, but non-downloadable electronic transfer and software, basically for NFTs. This lines up with WWE dipping its toes into the NFT market, which it has been doing for a while now.
