AEW Files Trademark For All Elite Women

[Rollie Forbes]

PWInsider reports that All Elite Wrestling (AEW) filed a trademark application on August 1 for the term “All Elite Women.” The trademark application was filed on Monday, August 1 with the United States Patent & Trademark Office (USPTO).

PWInsider noted that the trademark was filed for multiple subjects, including entertainment services and “streaming of payer-view events material on the internet.” You can see the full descriptions below:

* “Entertainment services in the nature of creation, development, and production of television programming; Entertainment services in the nature of professional athletes competing in wrestling; Fan clubs; Music production services; On-line journals, namely, blogs featuring sports and entertainment; Publishing of electronic publications; Television show production; Educational and entertainment services, namely, a continuing program about wrestling accessible by radio, television, satellite, audio, video and computer networks; Entertainment in the nature of live performances by professional wrestlers; Entertainment in the nature of wrestling contests; Entertainment services, namely, wrestling exhibits and performances by a professional wrestler and entertainer; Entertainment services, namely, providing temporary use of non-downloadable video games; Entertainment, namely, a continuing wrestling show broadcast over television, satellite, audio, and video media; Providing entertainment news and information specifically in the field of sport and entertainment via a website; Providing online music, not downloadable; Providing wrestling news and information via a global computer network; Providing a website featuring non-downloadable publications in the nature of electronic books, magazines, newsletters, journals, periodicals, articles, brochures, and on-line journals in the field of sports and entertainment; Providing an Internet website portal in the field of entertainment, cultural and sporting events”

* -“Retail store services featuring a wide variety of sports and entertainment merchandise; Advertising and promotional services; On-line retail store services featuring a wide variety of sports and entertainment merchandise; Organizing exhibitions for wrestling events; Promotional sponsorship of professional wrestling events.”

While AEW has not issued any announcements yet, the trademark filing appears to suggest that AEW is looking to start some women-focused events or pay-per-view shows.

Why not

 

[The Intergalactic Koala]

So we getting a All Woman show?

If so, Khan is a madman...if not, Khan is a coke sniffing xanny popping dumbass.

 

[Cattle Mutilation]

That's a lot of potential uses listed that don't have anything to do with an actual show too though

They did that 2 years ago for the womens tag tourney.

I mean a full blown series or at least a branch promotion. Ala Stardom or TJPW.

At best, it could be a Youtube show with an eventual standalone PPV. Don't think in the US you're going to get a live network show with all women's wrestling.

As an aside, it's insane that WWE hasn't had their own weekly women's show on their own network. Probably wouldn't cost much to make given everyone is already under contract and they have the production facilities to put on smaller shows.

Regardless of what he does, he needs to put these young ladies to work. Having 1 match a week, in Dark/Dynamite/Rampage is way too little for the development a lot of these wrestlers need. A lot of these women have 1 or 2 traits that could develop into a good performer but that ain't gonna happen unless they get to work A LOT with a bunch of different people.

Most of these women aren't exclusive to AEW. Or at least a lot of them aren't if not the majority.

Do they get those other bookings? how many of them do? (legit questions btw, I have no clue).

 

[LastManStanding]

Hopefully this is like Divas in Hedonism

Not as many as I thought, but still quite a few. It seems much more frequent on the men's roster than the women's. I guess I just kinda assumed it was the same.

Athena
Emi Sakura
Hikaru Shida
Kiera Hogan
Leyla Hirsch
Marina Shafir
Mercedes Martinez
Nyla Rose
Thunder Rosa
Yuka Sakazaki - although she is primarily in Japan

A few of them look like they stopped doing non-AEW shows this year like Jamie Hayter for one example. Some only do a non-AEW booking every couple months or so. Unless they signed AEW exclusive deals, nobody stopping them from being available for indie bookings though. I imagine if an ROH show ever happens that quite a few of the AEw women are going to be regulars in ROH.

 

[Ed MOTHERFUCKING G]

Just so they can have an entire ppv of thunder Rosa vs Britt Baker, a jade squash, and a Joshi match nobody cares about?

But see, out of that list only Hirsch and Hogan are young talent that need a lot of reps. The rest are either multi year veterans that have been working lots of places for a good number of years already, Japanese wrestlers that can always go back and run a couple of tours in their home country, or someone like Shafir that's trying to make this wrestling thing happen after her MMA career didn't take off.

The bulk of the younger women need waaay more reps than what they are getting.

I'd tune in

Reactions on twitter are hilarious though:

"AEW has one women's match a show lol smh"
*All Women PPV rumor*
"No one wants to see all that shyt"
