WWE filed a trademark for several new ring names this past April 5, 2022.
USPTO (United States Patent & Trademark Office) records show that the company filed to trademark “Troy Donovan”, “Thea Hail”, and “Channing Lauren” this past Tuesday.
The three superstars mentioned were all featured on this past week’s episode of NXT Level Up, with Donovan & Lauren teaming up in a losing effort against Andre Chase & Bodhi Hayward, and Hail suffering a defeat at the hands of Ivy Nile. Though they suffered losses in their respective matches, it is a good sign that WWE is securing their names for future use.
The following use description was included with each filing: “The trademark filing was for goods and services in the realms of “Entertainment services, namely, wrestling exhibitions and performances by a professional wrestler and entertainer rendered live 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.”
