WWE files trademark for potential new major show

WWE recently filed for a trademark, which seems to be for a potential new NXT show.

World Wrestling Entertainment has been busy filing for several trademarks. In the days leading up to Bray Wyatt's return, WWE filed two trademarks with a potential connection to the former Universal Champion.

The company followed that up by filing a trademark for the name Oro Mensah, who turned out to be an NXT Superstar. It now looks like World Wrestling Entertainment has filed for another trademark. The trademark, filed on October 15, is for a potential new NXT show called NXT Deadline.

The filing also noted that the term would be used specifically for a new professional wrestling show. The filing reads as follows:

WWE has already launched a second NXT show

World Wrestling Entertainment launched a second NXT show called NXT Level Up earlier this year.

The show replaced 205 Live and is a 60-minute show where superstars from the NXT brand can showcase their in-ring skills. However, the show is pre-taped and filmed before NXT airs.

It will be interesting to see if WWE launches NXT Deadline and how it will differ from the other two NXT shows that air every week.

If ever given a chance to change a storyline, Sunil would have booked Roman Reigns to end The Undertaker’s WrestleMania streak instead of Brock Lesnar. According to him, The Tribal Chief needed the victory more than Brock Lesnar, as the latter was already an established performer when he defeated ‘Taker. He would’ve also made that as Taker’s final match.
