NWA Opposes AEW Trademark Filing

The NWA filed an opposition to the AEW Shockwave trademark on June 5th. This action stems from a dispute over the “Shockwave” name.

The NWA applied to trademark NWA Shockwave on September 24th, 2024. The trademark for AEW Shockwave was filed on September 6th of that year. The NWA argues that they hold common law rights to “Shockwave” dating back to 2020. This is due to season one of NWA Shockwave airing in December 2020.

AEW stated they sent a letter to NWA’s legal team on September 26th, 2024, asking them to abandon the use of the Shockwave name. However, NWA has not responded to the letter. AEW has until July 15th to respond to the opposition filing.
