Penta Removed from AEW Roster, New Trademarks Filed – AEW has made notable updates concerning trademarks and its roster, with implications for its branding and talent pool. Here’s a breakdown of the recent developments:
AEW Trademark Filings
On December 6, AEW applied to trademark three terms: Maximum Combat, Maximum Mayhem, and Maximum Carnage. These filings with the United States Patent and Trademark Office fall under entertainment services, likely tied to future events, matches, or branding initiatives. The trademarks suggest AEW might be planning new programming or concepts to expand its offerings.
Penta El Zero Miedo’s AEW Departure
AEW has removed Penta El Zero Miedo from its roster page, signaling his departure following the expiration of his contract. Penta, a key figure in AEW’s tag team division and a staple of The Lucha Bros., is now officially a free agent. This development leaves him free to negotiate and sign with any wrestling promotion, including WWE.
While Penta’s future is uncertain, WWE is reportedly interested in bringing both members of The Lucha Bros. into the company. However, his brother Rey Fenix remains under AEW’s contract, as the promotion extended Fenix’s deal to account for time missed due to injury. This situation raises questions about whether Penta will immediately join WWE or wait for Fenix to finish his AEW tenure, potentially arriving as a duo.
Implications
- For AEW: Penta’s exit marks the end of an era for The Lucha Bros. in AEW’s tag team scene, though Fenix continues as a valuable talent. The new trademarks hint at creative ventures aimed at bolstering the brand.
- For WWE: The company’s interest in The Lucha Bros. reflects its focus on enhancing its tag team division and international appeal. Penta’s arrival in WWE, alone or alongside Fenix, would be a significant acquisition.
As more details emerge about Penta’s next steps and the potential use of AEW’s new trademarks, the wrestling landscape could see intriguing shifts.
