WWE submits new filing for previous trademark

WWE is reviving an old trademark it previously abandoned.

On November 6, WWE filed a trademark for the term ‘Tribal Heir’. It was previously trademarked in late 2023, but had been abandoned until recently.

When WWE first used the trademark, it was designated for Solo Sikoa, who was named Tribal Heir by Roman Reigns after Jimmy Uso thought it would go to him. After Reigns lost the WWE title at WrestleMania 40 and disappeared from television, Sikoa took things a step further and declared himself the Tribal Chief. When Reigns returned the two feuded, culminating in a match for the right to be named Tribal Chief on the first episode of Raw on Netflix early this year. Reigns emerged victorious, solidifying himself as the one true Tribal Chief.

The filing could also be related to Jey Uso, who in recent weeks has been listening more to Roman Reigns, something that Jimmy Uso doesn’t seem to be a fan of. Jey also seems to be at a crossroads after losing the World Heavyweight Championship match to CM Punk at Saturday Night’s Main Event last weekend.
