WWE Files Trademarks For Several SmackDown Ring Names

Join us at the Fifth Annual 80s Wrestling Con on Saturday, May 4th, at the Mennen Sports Arena in Morristown, NJ, featuring The Four Horsemen, Jake Roberts, and More! 80sWrestlingCon.com.

WWE has filed for several ring name-related trademarks.

The company filed for Akam, Paul Ellering, The Creed Brothers, The LWO, Ivar, Carlito, and Rezar on March 22 under the entertainment services classification with The United States Patent and Trademark Office.

They also filed trademarks for Breakout and #DIY (tag team name of Tommaso Ciampa & Johnny Gargano). Here is the description for the trademarks:

“Mark For: CARLITO™ trademark registration is intended to cover the categories of entertainment services, namely, wrestling exhibitions and performances by a professional wrestler and entertainer rendered and through broadcast media including television and radio, and via the internet or commercial online service; providing wrestling news and information via a global computer network; providing information in the fields of sports and entertainment via an online community portal; providing a website in the field of sports entertainment information; fan club services, namely, organizing sporting events in the field of wrestling for wrestling fan club members; organizing social entertainment events for entertainment purposes for wrestling fan club members; providing online newsletters in the fields of sports entertainment; online journals, namely blogs, in the field of sports entertainment.”

Legado Del Fantasma has been feuding with the LWO since Santo Escobar turned on Rey Mysterio and brought in Humberto Carrillo & Angel Garza for his group. Karrion Kross and AOP have also been feuding with Bobby Lashley and The Street Profits in recent months.

Ciampa and Gargano are slated to work the Undisputed WWE Tag Team Championship six-pack challenge ladder match at WrestleMania 40 alongside New Day, Miz & R-Truth, and current champions in The Judgment Day.
