This young star recently confirmed that a name the company has trademarked was for her character.

WWE decides on in-ring character names for wrestlers that suit their gimmicks and trademarks them at the US Patent and Trademark Office to reserve the name for a particular wrestler.

Once a wrestler’s name is changed, they change their social media handles to reflect the new name.

Myka Lockwood is the latest name trademarked by WWE, and it was for Bayley Humphrey from their NIL Developmental.

Lockwood changed her social media handle and confirmed that the recently trademarked name was for her character.

She posted on X saying:

That’s a killer of a name if I say so myself.

Humphrey was part of the company’s NIL Developmental program and featured on season two of WWE: LFG (Legends and Future Greats).

Before entering the wrestling world, she was part of the acrobatics and tumbling team at Baylor University.

She has appeared at NXT live events but has yet to make her TV debut as Myka Lockwood.
