WWE Files To Trademark Two Ring Names And The "Dirty Dogs" Name

This past June 8th, WWE filed to trademark the “Dirty Dogs” name with the USPTO (United States Patent and Trademark Office) for wrestling exhibitions services and performances by a professional wrestler. "Dirty Dogs" is the name of Dolph Ziggler and Robert Roode's tag team and they have held both the WWE RAW and WWE SmackDown Tag Team Titles since they have teamed together.

WWE also filed to trademark the “Myles Borne” and Hank Walker” ring names this past June 8th with the USPTO (United States Patent and Trademark Office) for entertainment services. Walker made his WWE NXT 2.0 debut at last Saturday’s NXT 2.0 Live Event in Largo, Florida, where he lost a Singles Matchup to Von Wagner. Walker’s real name is Joe Sculthorpe, who played college football as an offensive lineman at NC State.

Borne was one of the 14 WWE Performance Center recruits earlier this year. Borne made his WWE NXT 2.0 in-ring debut on this week’s episode of WWE NXT LVL Up, where he lost a Singles Match to Guru Raaj.

Below are the use descriptions submitted to the USPTO, along with the Instagram posts of Myles Borne and Hank Walker:
