WWE files for ‘NXT Revenge’ trademark

Posted on by Joseph Currier

This week, WWE made a trademark filing that looks to be for a new NXT event the company is planning.

WWE applied to trademark the term “NXT Revenge” on April 6, using the standard language it always does when trademarking event names. The goods and services section of the application lists that the trademark is for “the production and exhibition of professional wrestling events.”

  • Entertainment services, namely, a show about professional wrestling; entertainment services, namely, the production and exhibition of professional wrestling events rendered through broadcast media including television and distributed via various platforms across multiple forms of transmission media; providing wrestling news and information through broadcast media including television and distributed via various platforms across multiple forms of transmission media; providing information in the fields of sports and entertainment through broadcast media including television and distributed via various platforms across multiple forms of transmission media; providing a website in the field of sports entertainment information

There has been no official announcement of the Revenge event yet, and there’s no word on whether it would be a TV special or PLE. NXT just presented its annual Stand & Deliver PLE this past weekend. Instead of taking place during WrestleMania weekend, WWE broke tradition this year by moving up Stand & Deliver and having it be held in St. Louis instead of Las Vegas.

NXT will present its Stand & Deliver fallout episode tonight, so an announcement of the brand’s next PLE could be coming soon. Battleground has typically followed Stand & Deliver on the NXT calendar.

WWE files ‘Blake Monroe’ trademark for Mariah May’s new name

Posted on by Joseph Currier

WWE has officially applied to trademark “Blake Monroe” — the new in-ring name for Mariah May.

The former AEW Women’s World Champion made her NXT debut last week but was not identified by name during that appearance. Last night, it was revealed that she is now going by Blake Monroe. A video aired on NXT with May introducing herself and her new name to the audience.

WWE filed its trademark to secure the rights to the “Blake Monroe” name yesterday, with the application covering goods and services relating to performances by a professional wrestler:

  • 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

The new name was chosen by May as a reference to her niece Blake.

A contract signing for Blake Monroe will take place on NXT next week. When she makes her NXT in-ring debut, it will be the first time the former Mariah May has wrestled since losing to Toni Storm at AEW Revolution this March.
