Everything is gonna be ok 🙌

Trademark attorney Michael E. Dockins commented on the situation on Twitter, stating “Sure. I’m up for hanging another L on the fed”.

Dockins also believes WWE is not allowed to use the name, unless they can show they have used the name prior to Game Changer Wrestling.

I wouldn’t be surprised if a) they have no idea GCW owns the mark since if it isnt wwe it doesnt matter and b) they do not a proper clearance search before filing (there can be strategic reasons not to)

Not at all. Unless wwe can show they predate GCW, which the network suggests they cannot, then they will lose.

WWE filed trademark for the name on 12/15, specifically for use in entertainment services, namely for a professional wrestler. It’s unknown how WWE plans to use the name, but it’s likely for a stable or a tag team.
