David Harwood, better known as AEW star Dax Harwood, has locked down a new trademark.
He did so with the United States Patent and Trademark Office on October 5 when he filed for “CMFTR,” under entertainment services.
This is usually done for ring names and, in this case, trios/tag team names, as it was used whenever CM Punk would team up with FTR in AEW. Here is the description:
“Mark For: CMFTR™ trademark registration is intended to cover the categories of entertainment in the nature of wrestling contests; Entertainment services, namely, wrestling exhibits and performances by a professional wrestler and entertainer; Entertainment services, namely, live appearances by a professional wrestlers and sports entertainers; Entertainment services, namely, personal appearances by a professional wrestlers and sports entertainers; Entertainment services, namely, televised appearances by a professional wrestlers and sports entertainers; Providing wrestling news and information via a global computer network; Providing online interviews featuring professional wrestlers and sports entertainers in the field of professional wrestling and sports entertainment for entertainment purposes.”
They only teamed up four times, with them going 2-2. Their first match was in June 2022, with their last match happening on the August 12th Collision when they lost to then-Trios Champions House of Black.
FTR and Punk are good friends outside of the ring. Punk was released by AEW last month due to the All In incident with Jack Perry.
