WWE files trademark for new wrestler name
This week, WWE made a trademark filing for what appears to be another new wrestler name.
WWE applied to trademark the name “EK Prosper” on March 31. This comes after the company filed trademarks for five names earlier this month, with most of those having been since revealed as new monikers for prospects in the WWE ID program.
There’s no confirmation yet on who the “EK Prosper” trademark is for. The application includes the standard language WWE uses when trademarking names:
- 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 previous round of trademarks, filed on March 19, were for the names Anya Rune, Gianna Capri, Veronica Haven, Max Abrams, and Jacari Ball. The first four of those trademarks are for ID prospects Airica Demia (Anya Rune), Valentina Rossi (Gianna Capri), Fallyn Gray (Veronica Haven), and Mike Cunningham (Max Abrams), while it’s not been reported who will be taking the name Jacari Ball.
