This past May 4th, WWE filed to trademark the “Rip Fowler” in-ring name with the USPTO (United States Patent and Trademark Office) for entertainment services. There's no word yet on which new WWE NXT 2.0 Superstar will be using the “Rip Fowler” in-ring name, but updates will be provided as it's been made available as the promotion usually files to trademark a ring name several days or weeks prior to that specific WWE NXT 2.0 Star making their debut, which will likely take place on NXT 2.0 or NXT LVL Up.
Below is the use description WWE submitted to the USPTO:
“G & S: Entertainment services, namely, wrestling exhibitions and performances by a professional wrestler and entertainer rendered live and through broadcast media including television and radio, and via the internet or commercial online service; providing wrestling news and information via a global computer network; providing information in the fields of sports and entertainment via an online community portal; providing a website in the field of sports entertainment information; fan club services, namely, organizing sporting events in the field of wrestling for wrestling fan club members; organizing social entertainment events for entertainment purposes for wrestling fan club members; providing online newsletters in the fields of sports entertainment; online journals, namely, blogs, in the field of sports entertainment.”
