A recent post on Twitter has caught the attention of a former WWE/ECW star.
On Wednesday, 2K Games sent out a tweet with a clip of Liv Morgan making her entrance in the WWE 2K24 video game with the caption: “Queen of Extreme @YaOnlyLivvOnce #FirstLook #WWE2K24.”
The game is available for pre-order across Steam, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series S/X. There will be the standard, deluxe, and cross-gen digital editions. There’s also a WWE 2K24 Forty Years of WrestleMania edition.
This caught the attention of Francine, best known as being a valet, who owns the trademark rights to “Queen of Extreme.” She worked for ECW from 1995 to 2001 and WWE from 2005 to 2006. She wrote the following legal threat to 2K Games:
“I have The Queen of Extreme trademarked. Do you need something sent to you guys again from my lawyer?”

To all the ignorant 20somethings that are trolling me, I’ve used #QueenOfExtreme for decades and paid for the trademark. Which means no one else can use it. It starts with a tweet, then used in entrances and on games, mags, etc. You have to fight for what is legally yours.
