WWE Files Trademark For New Ring Name ‘Kyoki’

WWE looks to be using “Kyoki” as an upcoming ring name, filing a trademark application for the name late last week. Fightful reports that the trademark application for the word was filed on July 17th.

The description indicates that it will be in reference to a performer, as you can see below. It is not currently known who will use the name.

“IC 041: Entertainment services, namely, wrestling exhibitions and performances by a professional wrestler and entertainer rendered live and through broadcast media including television and radio, and via the internet or commercial online service; providing wrestling news and information via a global computer network; providing information in the fields of sports and entertainment via an online community portal; providing a website in the field of sports entertainment information; fan club services, namely, organizing sporting events in the field of wrestling for wrestling fan club members; organizing social entertainment events for entertainment purposes for wrestling fan club members; providing online newsletters in the fields of sports entertainment; online journals, namely blogs, in the field of sports entertainment.”

The trademark is the first known trademark filed by the company since July 10th, when they trademarked the returning Baron Corbin’s “Nomad” nickname.
