WWE Trademark Filing Hints At New Event

A trademark filing from WWE has hinted that a previous premium live event could be set for a revival, with an added twist on the old formula.

Despite dating back to the eighties as a concept, the King of the Ring is best remembered as a tournament and pay-per-view event that took place in WWE from 1993 until 2002. Although the event might have been shelved, the company has brought out the King of the Ring tournament on occasion with Xavier Woods the most recent winner of the crown in 2021.

Now there is a suggestion that WWE could be bringing the event back with a new trademark filing for the term “WWE King And Queen Of The Ring.” Part of the filing states:

“Mark For: WWE KING AND QUEEN OF THE RING trademark registration is intended to cover the categories of 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.”

There has yet to be a Queen of the Ring tournament in WWE, but in 2021 the company held a Queen’s Crown tournament that was won by Zelina Vega.
