AEW Possibly Unveils New Name for Upcoming Star

The pro wrestling world is all about intellectual property, and locking down those names will help a company distinguish between other names and their own. It also makes sure that nobody else can make money from that name. AEW is had at work to protect those names, and now we have two more in the pipeline.

AEW has recently filed two intriguing trademark applications, sparking speculation about a potential new addition to their roster. The trademarks, filed on September 5, 2024, through Bradley M. Stohry of Reichel Stohry Dean LLP, may hint at the arrival of a wrestler with a unique and mysterious persona.

The first trademark application is for the name “EL CLON,” which the United States Patent & Trademark Office describes as pertaining to “entertainment services, namely, live appearances by a professional wrestler” and “wrestling exhibits and performances by a professional wrestler and entertainer.”

In addition to “EL CLON,” AEW also filed a separate application for the term “THE CLONE,” with the same classification under goods and services. It will be interesting to see how Tony Khan’s company uses those names.

As of right now, no further details have been revealed regarding the identity or purpose of EL CLON or THE CLONE. The nature of these filings suggests the introduction of a new character or storyline, adding another layer of anticipation for AEW fans.

Whether these trademarks point to the same wrestler or two distinct personas remains to be seen, but the move has certainly generated buzz. AEW has built a reputation for creative character development with a focus on pro wrestling action, so fans will be eager to see how EL CLON and THE CLONE fit into the company’s ever-evolving landscape.

Ringside News will keep an eye on this story for more updates, because you never know if Tony Khan could even be planning something special for Collision this week. You never know what will break next, but Tony Khan’s company is still churning out ideas and preparing for the future. We will have to see what kind of impact EL CLON and The CLONE make in the company.
