WWE has been on a spree of filing trademarks lately, and they’ve jumped on the chance to trademark some old WCW properties.
According to Heel By Nature, WWE filed six new trademarks on former WCW intellectual property, most of them being pay per view names.
Trademarked by them were Slamboree, Bunkhouse Stampede, Battlebowl, SuperBrawl, Bash at the Beach, and The Match Beyond.
Cody Rhodes had attempted to acquire the trademarks on all of these, but has abandoned them all except for Bash at the Beach, and it’s noted that he has abandoned his attempts to trademark them after WWE abandoned the trademark on his name. Rhodes was denied the trademark for Bash after the the US Patent & Trademark Office denied due to a similarity to WWE’s trademark “The Bash.”
Another interesting note is that WWE has trademarked these after Cody abandoned the quest to trademark them, and Cody regained his name. Strange timing, but interesting regardless. WWE has been using some of these trademarks for NXT, so maybe we can see them in use in the future on NXT programming.
