WWE files trademark for possible new team name

WWE has filed to trademark a potential new name for a developing team.

On Monday, September 22, the company filed to trademark “Los Americanos” for wrestling purposes with the US Patent and Trademark Office.

The purposes of the filing are listed as:

“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 original El Grande Americano character was played by Chad Gable. However, after Gable suffered a rotator cuff injury in June, he was replaced in the role by Ludwig Kaiser. As for the other Americanos that have since appeared on WWE programming, fans believe they are being portrayed by Pete Dunne (who is also working as a producer for AAA) and Tyler Bate.

Other recent WWE filings with the USPTO include the name “Reckoning,” which was filed for on September 4. The term “Succession” was also applied for on the same day.

WWE has also filed to trademark “WWE Films,” the original name of the company’s movie production division, which was renamed WWE Studios in 2008.
