Cody Rhodes recently filed trademarks for the following (some of them are old WCW PPVs):

– Bunkhouse Stampede
– Battlebowl
– The American Dream
– The American Nightmare
– The Prince of Wrestling
After this, WWE went on to file trademark for the following old PPV names:
– Fully Loaded
– Living Dangerously
– Heat Wave
– Anarchy Rulz
– World War 3
– Chi-Town Rumble
– Sin
– Souled Out

– Hog Wild
– Capital Combat

According to Fightful, WWE is going to use these old PPVs names for Live Events and in Video Games:
“Fightful was told by several that many of the names the company trademarked from old WWE and WCW PPV shows will be used for live events and video games.
This came after AEW registered several themselves, and the source we spoke to said that was likely a motivating factor from WWE’s side.”
