All Elite Wrestling has made a new trademark filing, securing the rights to a name that appears to be for a new tag team. The company filed to trademark “The Swirl” on September 2nd. The filing was made for entertainment services, specifically for performances by a tag team of wrestlers. This is a standard move for a company to protect the intellectual property of its on-screen characters and teams.
The filing for “The Swirl” is for “performances by a tag team of wrestlers during professional wrestling events.” This is the tag team name recently used by Blake Christian and Lee Johnson
The trademark filing was made on the same day that one of AEW’s wrestlers also filed to trademark his ring name. Wheeler Yuta is a member of the Blackpool Combat Club and a multi-time ROH Pure Champion. The filing for his name covers a wide range of wrestling-related performances and media. This is also a standard practice for a company to protect its intellectual property.
The trademark filings were made just after the company’s successful Forbidden Door pay-per-view and as they continue their multi-week residency at the 2300 Arena in Philadelphia. They return to pay-per-view on September 20th with All Out.
