WWE has filed for more ring name-related trademarks.
The company filed for “Shawn Spears” and “Dijak” on March 7 under the entertainment services classification with The United States Patent and Trademark Office. Here is the description for the trademark:

Spears had been with WWE off and on for years as he first signed a developmental deal in 2006 and briefly worked on WWE’s ECW brand in 2008 and 2009. Spears, under the Tye Dillinger name, went to NXT before going to the main roster. He departed in 2019, where he then went to AEW before finishing up last year, only to return last month to WWE under the Spears name.
Dijak made a name for himself as Donovan Dijak in ROH before signing with WWE in 2017, where he worked in NXT as Dominik Dijakovic. He was later moved to the main roster as T-Bar, only to return to NXT in November 2022.
