Dexter Lumis seems to have landed on his feet.
Last month, WWE released a slew of NXT talents. Dakota Kai, Malcolm Bivens and Dexter Lumis were the most notable names released in that batch. Lumis had a successful run in NXT, taking part in one of the better storylines in NXT recently. Lumis was released mid program with Indi Hartwell – and now looks to get back in the ring sooner rather than later.
According to the US Patent and Trademark Office, Samuel Shaw (FKA as Dexter Lumis) filed to protect the name “Hatchet” on May 13, 2022. The paperwork was handled by trusted “gimmick attorney” Michael E. Dockins. Other than the name, it is a pretty standard trademark filing.
