WWE has filed another trademark that all-but-guarantees we\'ll be seeing King of the Ring and Queen of the Ring tournaments in 2023.
WWE has owned the \"King of the Ring\" trademark for several years. In October, the company secured the rights to \"Queen of the Ring\" as well.
On December 8, World Wrestling Entertainment, Inc. applied to trademark, \"WWE King and Queen of the Ring.\"
According to the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) database, the Goods and Services usage description for the \"LIVE\" trademark includes:
- 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;
It\'s been rumored that WWE would be bringing back the King of the Ring tournament and holding the first-ever Queen of the Ring tournament since last year.
Paul \"Triple H\" Levesque, WWE\'s Chief Content Officer, has spoken about his intention to reimagine the WWE\'s approach to themed premium live events. While shows like Hell in a Cell are expected to be retired, it seems increasingly likely that King and Queen of the Ring will be added to the calendar next year.
