Former ECW Star Francine Threatens 2K Games With Legal Action

A recent Twitter post from 2K Games featuring a clip of Liv Morgan’s entrance in the upcoming WWE 2K24 video game as the “Queen of Extreme” has sparked controversy. The tweet, which showcased Morgan’s portrayal in the game, bore the caption “Queen of Extreme @YaOnlyLivvOnce #FirstLook #WWE2K24.”

Notably, this caught the attention of Francine, a former WWE/ECW star renowned for her work as a valet, who holds the trademark rights to the phrase “Queen of Extreme.” Francine, who had previously worked for ECW from 1995 to 2001 and WWE from 2005 to 2006, issued a legal threat to 2K Games via Twitter:

“I have The Queen of Extreme trademarked. Do you need something sent to you guys again from my lawyer?”

The tweet from Francine suggests that there may be a dispute over the unauthorized use of her trademarked phrase in the marketing materials for WWE 2K24. It remains to be seen how 2K Games will respond to Francine’s legal threat and whether any further action will be taken to address the issue.
