Trademark filed for ‘WWE Late Night’
A new trademark filing could be hinting at plans for WWE to launch a new late night show.
On June 20, WWE filed to trademark the term “WWE Late Night.” The application says the filing is to cover goods and services related to hosting and producing live entertainment shows and comedy performances:
Entertainment services, namely, hosting and producing live comedic performances; entertainment services, namely, hosting and producing live entertainment shows; arranging and conducting entertainment events; providing a website in the field of entertainment
The filing was made by WWE through attorney Lauren Dienes-Middlen, who works for the promotion as their SVP, Deputy General Counsel.
There has been no word on whether WWE Late Night would be a regular broadcast/streaming show, digital content, or a live in-person event.
WWE presented an untelevised comedy show — “The Roast of WrestleMania” — following WrestleMania 41 in Las Vegas this April. It was hosted by Tony Hinchcliffe with appearances by other comedians and WWE talent.
