AEW Could Be Gearing Up for Summer Show With New Trademark Filing

AEW could be adding another major show to its expanding calendar, and we might already know the name—thanks to a new trademark filing.

On April 14, All Elite Wrestling filed paperwork with the United States Patent and Trademark Office to lock down the name “AEW Summer Blockbuster.” While the company hasn’t made any official announcements, the trademark filing suggests that something big is coming, possibly a new themed event or summer TV special.

According to the filing, the trademark falls under categories for “entertainment in the nature of wrestling contests,” as well as “live professional wrestling performances” and “production of professional wrestling programs and events.” That’s typical lingo for AEW’s live events and pay-per-view-style shows.

AEW’s calendar has been heating up, and this would be another stacked addition. This week, the company is airing Spring BreakThru out of Boston with both Dynamite and Collision broadcasting live. Notably, Dynamite will officially surpass WCW Monday Nitro to become the longest-running weekly primetime wrestling show in TBS/TNT history.

Looking further ahead, AEW’s Double or Nothing is locked in for May 25 in Glendale, Arizona. Fyter Fest will hit Denver on June 4, and the company’s UK juggernaut All In takes over London on July 12. Forbidden Door is slated for August 24.

AEW also recently filed another trademark: “Paragon,” which is now confirmed as the new stable name for Adam Cole, Kyle O’Reilly, and Roderick Strong.

As for AEW Summer Blockbuster, the name alone sounds like a potential summer tentpole. Could this be AEW’s answer to WWE’s SummerSlam? A new pay-per-view or TV mega-show? Nothing’s been confirmed yet—but this filing is enough to keep fans talking.
