WWE files trademarks for new Americano names

WWE has officially filed trademarks for the new Americano names that were unveiled on Raw last night.

On Monday’s show, it was revealed that Los Americanos are going by the names “Rayo Americano” and “Bravo Americano” individually. The two — who are believed to be played by Pete Dunne & Tyler Bate — are part of a trio with El Grande Americano (Ludwig Kaiser).

Rayo & Bravo made their in-ring debuts last night, losing to AJ Styles & Dragon Lee. The tag team match took place on the same day that WWE applied to trademark the “Rayo Americano” and “Bravo Americano” names. In the application, it’s listed that the trademarks are for goods and services related to pro wrestling performances:

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

WWE previously filed a trademark for the tag team name “Los Americanos” on September 22.

The El Grande Americano character was originally played by Chad Gable, who dawned the mask as he waged war with lucha libre. Since Gable was forced out of action with a shoulder injury, Kaiser has adopted the gimmick and WWE has expanded it into a full faction with the addition of Rayo & Bravo.
