AEW Files For New Trademark, Possible Play Off Recent AEW Comments Made By Vince McMahon?
AEW filed to trademark the name "All Elite Wrestling Blood and Guts" on Wednesday, November 13.
It looks like the "Blood and Guts" trademark could be used for some kind of pro wrestling event or service from AEW, possibly the next pay-per-view in early 2020, but that hasn't been confirmed. It's interesting that AEW is using this name as WWE Chairman Vince McMahon referred to the "blood and guts" content that AEW puts on during the WWE Q2 earnings call earlier this year.
