It looks like the next big tournament for WWE is going to take place on the NXT UK brand. The WWE Network has given us some incredible ones in the past, including the Cruiserweight Classic, the UK Championship Tournament, and two Mae Young Classics.
The UK brand is reportedly gearing up for a return soon, and WWE may be planning something big. They filed for two trademarks back on July 20th: Heritage Cup and NXT UK Heritage Cup.
The descriptions of both trademarks are described as followed through the United States Patent & Trademark Office:
“Entertainment services, namely, a show about professional wrestling; entertainment services, namely, the production and exhibition of professional wrestling events rendered live and 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; organizing social entertainment events for entertainment purposes for wrestling fans; providing online newsletters in the fields of sports entertainment; online journals, namely blogs, in the field of sports entertainment.”
WWE has also updated the NXT UK banner on their website, as well. Trent Seven, Tyler Bate, and Joe Coffey have all been replaced. All three men were brought up in the #SpeakingOut movement last month, though Coffey was the only one of the three to face a suspension.
