WWE has locked down the trademark rights to several terms including a new gimmick match that will be used in NXT.
The company filed for “Jailhouse Street Fight,” “WWE NXT, “Royal Rumble,” “Money In The Bank,” “Elimination Chamber,” and “Fatal 4-Way” on February 23 under the entertainment services classification with The United States Patent and Trademark Office.
Here is the description for the Jailhouse Street Fight:
“Mark For: JAILHOUSE STREET FIGHT™ trademark registration is intended to cover the categories of entertainment services, namely, a show about professional wrestling; entertainment services, namely, the production and exhibition of professional wrestling events rendered through broadcast media including television and distributed via various platforms across multiple forms of transmission media; providing wrestling news and information through broadcast media including television and distributed via various platforms across multiple forms of transmission media; providing information in the fields of sports and entertainment through broadcast media including television and distributed via various platforms across multiple forms of transmission media; providing a website in the field of sports entertainment information.”
The Jailhouse Street Fight is a new match type that will be used at NXT Roadblock in a few weeks as Tony D’Angelo recently challenged Dijak to the bout. It’s unclear whether it’s just a street fight with a different name or if there will be special weapons used during it.
