WWE trademarks ECW events.

On Nov. 21, WWE applied to trademark “Cyberslam” and “Barely Legal.” Both names are former ECW events. “Barely Legal” was the name of the first ECW pay-per-view in 1997 while “Cyberslam” was an annual fan convention/event held in February from 1996 to 2000. 

The description for both trademarks reads as followed.

WWE trademarking ECW event names comes on the heels of Cody trademarking former WCW event names “SuperBrawl” and “Slamboree” and using the “Bash At The Beach” name for an upcoming AEW Dynamite special. You can read more about Cody’s trademarks by clicking here.
