AEW files trademark for potential new event name
On April 13, AEW made two trademark filings relating to a potential new event name.
The company applied to trademark the terms “AEW Redemption” and “Redemption,” with both applications stating that they are for professional wrestling programs/events. Here is what is listed in the goods and services section of each filing:
- Entertainment in the nature of wrestling contests; Entertainment services in the nature of live professional wrestling performances; Entertainment services in the nature of production of professional wrestling programs and events; Entertainment services, namely, production and distribution of ongoing television programs in the field of professional wrestling
There’s no word on whether AEW Redemption would be a new pay-per-view or television special for the promotion. When the company files trademarks like this, it’s not guaranteed that anything will ever come of them. AEW still has trademarks for terms like “Exile on Pain St.” that have yet to be used.
Next month, AEW is set to hold a special golf-themed “Fairway to Hell” edition of Collision in West Palm Beach, Florida. The trademark filing for that name was made nearly two years before it was utilized by AEW.
