WWE Files Trademarks For Names Of Former Superstars

WWE is constantly filing new trademarks and the company recently filed to trademark four names. According to the USPTO’s official website WWE filed to trademark “Zack Ryder,” “Ezekiel Jackson,” “Dolph Ziggler” and “Drew McIntyre” on 2/23.

Dolph Ziggler and Drew McIntyre are of course still with the company, but Zack Ryder was released in 2020 while Ezekiel Jackson parted ways with WWE in 2014. Matt Cardona recently noted that he did apply for the “Zack Ryder” trademark knowing that there was a chance WWE would fight it, and they did, so he let it go.

The full description for the trademarks reads as follows:

“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.”

Stay tuned for updates.
