It was late last yr when a flood of trademark news regarding AEW got here to light, with the promotion filing to assert the names “Maximum Mayhem,” “Maximum Combat,” and “Maximum Carnage” for future use. In the long run, the primary two trademarks were never mentioned again, though AEW would hold an event called “Maximum Carnage” for episodes of “Dynamite” and “Collision” in January. Now a yr later, history could also be repeating itself, albeit with different names, and maybe with an added wrinkle thrown in.
PWInsider reports that, within the last month, AEW has filed trademarks for “Watch AEW,” “AEW Tidal Wave,” “AEW Blitz,” “AEW Firestorm,” and “AEW Fire.” While the language for every filing was largely familiar, there have been some key differences, with the latter 4 filings seemingly being for the usage of television shows only, while “Watch AEW’s” filing included language regarding streaming services. This is able to suggest that “Watch AEW” could possibly be the name of a possible AEW service, though whether that is the case or not stays unclear.
Whether “Tidal Wave,” “Blitz,” “Firestorm,” and “Fire” turn into names for upcoming AEW events, or some fall by the waste side just like “Maximum Mayhem,” “Maximum Combat,” and even the famous “AEW Shockwave” trademark, stays to be seen. The promotion is about to tape several “themed” episodes of “Dynamite” and “Collision” in the subsequent month, with “Winter is Coming” going down on December 10 and 13, “Holiday Bash” on December 17, “Dynamite on thirty fourth Street” on December 20, “Christmas Collision” on December 21, and “Recent 12 months’s Smash” on December 31. As such, any potential use of those trademarks would not come till 2026 on the earliest.
