AEW files trademark for new tag team name
This week, AEW made a new trademark filing for a tag team name it looks to be planning to introduce.
The promotion filed a trademark application for the term “Paid in Full” on February 23. In the goods and services section of the application, it’s directly stated that the trademark is to cover performances by tag team wrestlers:
Conducting entertainment exhibitions in the nature of professional [wrestling] exhibits and performances by professional wrestlers, namely, performances by a tag team of wrestlers during professional wrestling events; Entertainment services in the nature of live professional wrestling performances
AEW has not revealed the identity of this team. It’s not known if they’ll be part of the men’s or women’s tag team division or if they’ll be performing primarily in AEW or ROH.
The current tag team champions in AEW are Harley Cameron & Willow Nightingale on the women’s side and FTR on the men’s side. Building up teams in the division has been a priority for AEW since the Women’s Tag Team titles were introduced. Hyan & Maya World and The IInspiration are among the new additions. In the men’s division, AEW has added Alec Price & Jordan Oliver to its roster.
